Murier Blanc, Forcalquier.

Description for B&B:

Murier Blanc is a charming villa with its own private entrance situated along a peaceful lane. The front drive offers ample parking for up to three cars. Surrounding the property is a spacious tiled area and lush shrub borders, providing privacy and tranquility. The lawns at the front and far side of the villa are enclosed by a tasteful hedge, carefully maintained to preserve the breathtaking views of the valley and distant hills.

Inside the villa, the layout is thoughtfully arranged, with a large open plan American style kitchen, dining, and sitting areas at the center of the property. The bedrooms are situated on either side, offering two separate sleeping arrangements. One side features two double bedrooms, which can be converted into twin beds if desired, with a spacious shower room separating them. On the other side of the villa is the master bedroom, complete with an en suite shower room. French doors from the master bedroom lead to the covered terrace at the front of the house, allowing guests to savor the stunning south facing views. Bed linen and bath towels are provided, along with luxurious bathroom products from LOccitane.

The kitchen can be accessed through the back door and includes a convenient utility room with a fridge freezer, washing machine, and microwave. The kitchen itself is well-equipped with a dishwasher, ceramic hob cooker, coffee machine, kettle, teapot, toaster, and more.

The dining area features a substantial French style rustic table and six chairs, creating an inviting space for meals. Beyond the dining area is a comfortable seating area with two large linen covered sofas, a coffee table, and a television with a 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 in any weather, offering a large glass topped table and six chairs.

Just beyond the garden, down a short flight of steps, guests will find the main pool area with a sun deck, loungers, parasols, and a boules court. Although the pool is technically shared with approximately five other houses and two apartments, it is rarely crowded. Many of the other houses on the premises have their own private pools, which means the main pool is often peaceful and quiet.

The entire site is meticulously maintained and features an excellent restaurant and a boutique hotel with a spa, where guests can indulge in various treatments. The spa includes a hammam and Jacuzzi, perfect for those visiting during the early spring or late autumn when the outdoor pools may not be open.
