Description for B&B:

Murier Blanc is a charming villa with its own private entrance, located along a peaceful lane adjacent to the main development. The front drive offers ample parking for up to three cars. Surrounding the property is a spacious tiled area and lush shrub borders, ensuring privacy and tranquility. The front and far side of the villa boast well-maintained lawns, bordered by a carefully trimmed hedge that does not obstruct the breathtaking views of the valley and distant hills.

Inside the villa, you will find a spacious open plan layout featuring an American style kitchen, dining area, and sitting area. The bedrooms are located on either side of this central space, providing two distinct sleeping arrangements. One side of the villa features two double bedrooms, which can be converted into twin beds if preferred, along with a large shower room. On the other side, you will find the master bedroom with its own ensuite shower room. French doors in the master bedroom open onto the covered terrace at the front of the house, allowing you to fully enjoy the stunning south-facing views. We provide all bed linen and bath towels, as well as luxurious LOccitane bathroom products for your convenience.

The kitchen can be accessed through the back door and includes a small utility room housing a fridge freezer, washing machine, and microwave. Equipped with a dishwasher, ceramic hob cooker, coffee machine, kettle, teapot, toaster, and more, the kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals during your stay. The dining area features a substantial French-style rustic table and six chairs, while the adjacent seating area is furnished with two large comfortable linen-covered sofas, a coffee table, and a TV with a CD/DVD player. The large patio windows provide panoramic views of the surroundings. A door from the seating area leads to the covered terrace, where you can enjoy al fresco dining at the large glass-topped table with six chairs.

Just beyond the garden, a short flight of steps takes you to the main pool area, which includes a sun deck, loungers, parasols, and a boules court. Although technically shared with approximately five other houses and two apartments, the pool is rarely crowded, as many of the other properties have their own private pools. The entire site is meticulously maintained and offers excellent amenities, including an on-site restaurant and a boutique hotel with a spa. Treatments can be booked at the spa, which features a hammam and Jacuzzi, perfect for a rejuvenating visit during the early spring or late autumn when the outdoor pools may not be available.
