Le Moulin is a restored 16th Century olive oil mill situated minutes away from the village of charming, medieval Cotignac. The apartment is on two floors, with two bedrooms, galleried landing, and bathroom.
An open, wooden staircase leads down to an open plan living area, incorporating dining, kitchen and seating.
The terrace, reached by French windows, looks down on private gardens in which the shared pool is situated.
Cotignac is all one would expect of a Provencal village with narrow streets, shady squares with fountains and old pantiled houses. It is an ideal centre for visiting the Mediterranean coast, Italy, the Pre-Alps and the Camargue. In Summer it provides all we long for in a warmer climate. In Spring and Autumn one can lunch on the terrace, walk in the afternoons, and light a fire to sit by in the evening.
