A small canal called canal de Saint Albergati delivers water from the river Sorgue and flows under part of the house. The canal brings a source of freshness to the surroundings, providing a contrast to the heat of the Provencal summer months.

Parents should be aware that, whilst the canal is not deep, access is not restricted by security fencing. Children must therefore be supervised accordingly.

There is a large pergola covered terraced area at the front of the property, ideal for dining outdoors.

Plants and trees abound at la Sorguette giving the property a soft, country feel. There are lots of areas around the property where you can stop to read, eat or just take the time to day dream.

The large, 16 x 6 metre swimming pool, descending from 1 to 2 metres in depth awaits you, fenced in for the protection of children. The pergola offers shelter from the sun and sunbeds are available for your comfort.

The sitting room is spacious and luminous, with its high ceiling and glass frontage. The prefect place to relax and entertain your friends. From here you will find the bureau where internet access is always available.

The house is lived in most of the year by the family, and nothing is removed during lets. This adds a dimension to the house which cannot normally be found in rented accommodation. You sense the warmth and character normally unassociated with holiday rentals.

Parents should be aware that, whilst the canal is not deep, access is not restricted by security fencing. Children must therefore be supervised accordingly.
