Idyllic Sustainability

This is an utterly superb apartment, one of the best we’ve ever seen. The owners have clearly created something special. that is dedicated to sustainable design principals. There is a sense of style throughout the accommodation, with touches of mid-century themes. Their conscious decision to not include air conditioning means they have carefully designed the accommodation for cross ventilation and other techniques. The old building that houses the swimming pool is a work of art. A wood pellet stove keeps things cozy in an affordable way in the cooler months. Just a few steps outside the old city, it retains an atmosphere of antiquity while being thoroughly modern.

The house has been renovated in the last two years in a spirit of responsibility with natural materials (old tiles, cork floors, chestnut baseboards, Saint-Pons marble countertop, etc.) or sustainable (Farrow & Ball paint, etc.) then equipped and decorated with marl furniture in the city’s flea markets (Baumann chairs, Opal coffee table, rattan armchairs, etc.) or designed by local craftsmen (suspensions by a valet, bedside lamps by a screen, basin by a pot, etc.). The location of the apartment is great — at the end of a quiet street, only 5 minutes from the old historical quarter and a short walk from the public (free) car park. Two large sized double bedrooms make it ideal for two couples or two singles. The couch can also serve as a pull out bed. The outdoor space is a marvel…called a Tropezian terrace! (see pictures!) And the heated swimming pool is the most elegant pool we’ve ever seen! An indooor fireplace/ pellet stove is just one of the many markers of these owners who have worked hard to make this place feel both luxurious and earth-friendly.
