Situated in its own gated grounds, this restored, semi-detached stone-built barn is characteristically Provençal in style.  Surrounded by a stone wall with large gates, there is secure parking in the grounds of the house. 

‘Chez Bardi’ provides an ideal situation for easy outdoor summer living on your self-catering holiday.  You can soak up as much sun as you wish around the pool or on the lawn, then relax on the shady, covered terrace for those important alfresco meals.

The sunny 200 sq m garden with 5m x  9m swimming pool (1.2 – 2m in depth) has a lawn planted with trees and plenty of space for children to play.  The pool has a laser alarm for security and the poolside cabana has a handy shower and WC.  There's a separate BBQ area and a ping pong table for your use.

The dining/sitting room, shaded by the terrace roof and plane tree, is a comfortably furnished, cool area to spend hot summer afternoons.  It has a good quality sofa, armchair etc., plus some typically Provençal items of furniture such as a superb armoire.   There is a fireplace with exposed stones, plenty of exposed beams and a stylish stone-built bar with sink. The well equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, microwave etc, and there is a separate utilities room with washing machine, iron, ironing board, also a WC with hand wash basin. 

French doors open from the sitting room to the large, tiled terrace with dining setting overlooking the garden and pool.  An enormous, century old plane tree provides welcome shade to the terrace for the summer. 

A timber staircase leads up to the three bedrooms, each with a double bed, the bathroom (bath and overhead shower) and second separate WC, all leading off a landing.  NB: All beds are double but single beds can be provided if required, also a cot for a baby.  There is a TV with satellite (English channels, ie BBC etc), CD/radio/cassette player and a telephone for incoming calls and local emergency numbers.  Pre-paid phone cards (available at local shops) can be used for outgoing calls. 

THE VILLAGE:

Chez Bardi is only a few minutes' stroll to the small community of Plan d'Orgon, which whilst simple, has several restaurants in all price ranges, two boulangeries, a butcher, mini-market, baker, chemist and doctors, also a tennis court.  Just 4 kms away is the typical Provencal town of Cavaillon, with supermarkets, shops, restaurants and a weekly street market.

The house’s location is perfect for visiting the highlights of Provence.  For example delightful St Rémy de Provence, with specialist boutiques and restaurants, is only a 10 minute drive. As well as many beautiful little villages nearby, the splendid towns of Arles and Aix en Provence can be easily visited.  Summer festivals and concerts abound in the area.  Mediterranean beaches (Fos-sur-Mer and Carry-le-Rouet for example) are a 50 minute drive, the bustling port of Marseille with an international airport, one hour. 

SOME QUOTES FROM VISITORS TO CHEZ BARDI

 “This holiday was one of the most relaxing we can recall.  We found ourselves looking forward to mid-afternoon return, so I could sunbathe or cool off in the pool while Ted took possession of a sun lounger, placed in the shade, for his afternoon read/relaxation. 

M. and Mme Bardi were a pleasure to deal with as was their son Julien. “

“We had a great time in Plan D'Orgon and although we smiled at Monsieur Bardi's automatic gardening watering system when it sprung in to life at 9pm every night, it did mean his garden was a green oasis! The pool was lovely and well maintained by Monsieur Bardi and his son. The house was just as described and photographed on the web site.”

“The property was ideally located to explore the area and well appointed. The owners were helpful but unobtrusive and we had a great time.”

 ….it was the most perfect time with all of us together in that superb location! We enjoyed the pool, the space outside, the terrace table  and all and all... also 'discovered' the Luberon villages, les Baux …. We loved it all so please pass on our thanks to the (owners) too.
