Listing description
La Courette is located adjacent to L’Amandier though being back-to-back the two cottages enjoy complete privacy one from the other.
Entry is by the owners’ main gate off the rural route from Saint Didier to Saumanes. The gate is always locked at night. An exclusive parking area is provided just a few steps from the cottage.
Set in an orchard of fruit trees (cherries, apricots, etc), a stone wall retains privacy for both guests and owners. Entry to the cottage is by a covered veranda that occupies an entire corner. It opens onto a little paved courtyard (la courette, after which the cottage is named) that is flanked by the boundary wall, shrubs and trees, and the stone wall, a veritable sun-trap offering guests the choice of sun or shade. The courtyard includes a barbecue complete with cooking tools. Tables are provided both on the veranda and outside with chairs and two sun-loungers.
The cottage is entered by a short staircase, just three shallow steps, from the veranda into the spacious sitting room with comfortable seating, a TV cum video and radio. A stylish dining table with four chairs graces one side with a matching sideboard containing crockery, cutlery and glasses for every occasion, though sadly not the liquid contents for the latter.
Location Details
Saint Didier, Vacluse, Provence
Nestling amongst vineyards and fruit trees, Saint Didier lies on the slopes rising towards the upland Plâteau de Vaucluse, a rocky ridge dividing the valley of the River Nesque from the Luberon that continues in a wide arc rising to the summit (at 1909m) of Mont Ventoux before descending again to the craggy Dentelles de Montmirail, this arc creating the "enclosed valley", or Vallis Clausa in Latin, from which the name Vaucluse, our department in France, is derived. The limestone formations of the Plâteau contain enormous subterranean aquifers that feed the many springs and fountains to be found in the region, the most spectacular being the source of the River Sorgue that in flood erupts from the mountainside at Fontaine-de-Vaucluse.
