Then this is the place for you! It happily combines all the aspects that make it a unique place, immediately endearing, and one in which you want to invest to share with as many people as possible its natural and built beauty, and the tranquillity and charm that emanate from it. First of all, there's the location: ideally situated, close to the major tourist sites, between the Ventoux and Monts de Vaucluse, around ten kilometres from Isle-sur-Sorgue, accessible in 45 minutes from Avignon TGV station and just over an hour from Marseille-Provence airport, this is a secret establishment, nestling in the hollow of a valley surrounded by woods open spaces in the countryside. The view is exceptional: facing the Ventoux, it is truly emblematic of the Provencal landscape. In grounds of 18,732 m2, majestic trees, including a remarkable 350-year-old lime tree, old oaks, olive, almond, apple, cherry and apricot trees, dry stone walls opening onto a small lake, a meadow, a courtyard, a swimming pool area, a boules area, terraces and courtyards for the restaurant and bedrooms... This natural setting enhances the imposing Templar building, with over 400 m2 of living space, built between the 12th and 19th centuries. The owners passionately restored the building in 2012, and today its high dry-stone facades, flanked by a 17th-century tower, are impressive in their beauty, magnified by the presence of verdant arbours, rose bushes and immense cypress trees. The enclosed courtyard leads to a 58 m2 dining room adjoining the 45 m2 kitchen. The large fireplace, exposed beams and small-pane windows make this a warm and welcoming place to come and share festive moments with family and friends. 12 en-suite bedrooms are spread across the 3 wings of the building. They are spacious, some with attractive sitting areas or study areas, others with terraces or small courtyards... Each bedroom, from the standard double to the family suite, is unique in its layout and furnishings. A charming single-storey building in the middle of the garden has been converted into a library-games room... a vast 72 m2 room opening onto the garden, where you can dream, read, chat or play board games. Two detached single-storey houses, located away from the main building, could be used as accommodation for managers and employees, or as additional homes for rent. The first, measuring around 84 M2, has a 23 m2 living room, 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, an office and a room currently used as a linen room. The second, with a surface area of 32 m2, adjoins the first and comprises a bedroom with its own bathroom and dressing room, with the hotel's linen room attached. Next to these modern, functional houses are a 33 m2 garage and two outbuildings measuring 39 and 104 m2. Together, the buildings total around 800m2, including around 600m2 of living space.
