Murier Blanc, Forcalquier.

Description for B&B:

Murier Blanc has a private entrance from a lane adjacent to the main development. The front drive offers ample parking space for at least three cars. Surrounding the property is a spacious tiled area and deep shrub borders, providing privacy. On the front and far side, there are well-maintained lawns encircled by a hedge that allows for unobstructed views of the beautiful valley and distant hills.

Inside the villa, the layout consists of a large open plan American style kitchen, dining, and sitting areas in the center, with the bedrooms situated on either side, offering two distinct sleeping arrangements. One side features two double bedrooms that can be converted into twin beds if desired, separated by a spacious shower room. On the other side, the master bedroom includes an en suite shower room and French doors that lead to the covered terrace at the front of the house, where you can enjoy the stunning south-facing views. Bed linen and bath towels are provided, along with bathroom products from LOccitane.

The kitchen can be accessed through the back door and includes a small utility room that houses the 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 for your culinary needs.

The dining area features a substantial French-style rustic table and six chairs. Adjacent to this is the seating area, furnished with two large and comfortable linen-covered sofas, a coffee table, and a TV and CD/DVD player. The large patio windows maximize the enjoyment of the beautiful views. A door from this area leads to the covered terrace, which is perfect for dining regardless of the weather, with its spacious glass-topped table and six chairs. Just a short flight of steps beyond the garden is the main pool, complete with a sun deck, loungers, parasols, and a boules court to one side. Although technically shared with approximately five other houses and two apartments, the pool is rarely crowded as many other properties on the site have their own smaller pools.

The entire site is meticulously maintained and offers an excellent restaurant and a boutique hotel with a spa, where guests can book various treatments. The spa features a hammam and Jacuzzi, which are particularly enjoyable during early spring or late autumn visits when the outdoor pools may not be open.
