ROBION: From the huge parking area, you enter within the stone walls into the interior courtyard facing south. Opposite the main house is a large covered terrace ideal for outdoor eating with a utility room and storage. Adjacent is the old stables currently used as summer accommodation for the owner’s grandchildren!
The main entrance to the farmhouse brings you immediately face to face with the impressive staircase to the upper level. To the left is the kitchen and dining room of 50 m2 traversing the building with its wood-burning stove and doors out to the garden areas behind or the courtyard in front. Fully fitted and equipped, this kitchen is very much for "creating" rather than beans on toast! On the other side of the staircase is the main reception room with French doors onto the large part-covered terrace to the rear. This room connects to the more intimate salon with working fireplace. A shower room/laundry room and separate WC are also on this level.
Upstairs is the main bedroom with dressing area and office which could become an ensuite bathroom. Adjacent is a south-facing bedroom and a large family bathroom with shower, Jacuzzi bath and separate WC. There are two further bedrooms both with ensuite bathrooms. One of them has independent external access and a sunken bath.
The 2 900 m2 garden contains the large pool with shower room, WC and storage and backs onto the canal. Well-planted with fruit trees and a vegetable garden, there are various sitting areas as well as a greenhouses, workshop & bird cages.
The attractive village of Robion is situated 10 km from Gordes and Rousillon, 15km from Isle sur la Sorgue, 23 km from Avignon and 65 km from Aix en Provence in the heart of Provence. The nearest airports are Avignon at 20 km and Marseille Marignane at 80 km. The TGV is available at Avignon. Access to the motorway A7 is at junction 23 Cavaillon 10 minutes away.

The Vaucluse is an inland department of the Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur region, and accommodates just under a half a million people. The department contains some of the most picturesque villages and unspoilt countryside that southern France has to offer, and places like Avignon and Orange are now considered quite trendy holiday spots for both the French and foreigners alike.
Avignon has some amazing ramparts, beautiffuly preserved, and a city teeming with history, culture and gorgeous architecture. The old lanes of Avignon are a treat, and there are many antique dealers should you want to purchase a small piece of local history. From the top of Avignon's ramparts one can survey the stunning Rhône Valley. From here it is easy to appreciate the town's strategic significance and its command over the surrounding region.
The town of Orange is located in the northern Vaucluse, amidst a formidable landscape, packed with lush vegetation, pine forests and towering mountains. It is reknowned for producing a large amount of honey. The town's name reflects the fact that the majority of the town's buildings are distinctly orange in colour. In 1530, Orange began to lend its trademarked colour to Holland, Northern Ireland, The Orange Free State and Orange, New Jersey.
To the south of the department, Luberon is a famous area, reknowned for quaint, typical french villages and magnificent castles.
The department does not have its own international airport as yet, and so Nimes or Marseille are the nearest airports, offering relatively easy access into the department. The train is also easy to access with TGV links to both cities as well as onward to Paris.
French houses and villas in this department are very desirable, and the proximity to the coast has an inevitable effect on property prices. The increased popularity of the area means it is often difficult to find any bargains or properties that need renovation, but stunning luxury homes and prestige properties are instead the order of the day!
