The quaint village of Tavernes offers all the daily essentials, including a fabulous bakery, a small supermarket, and a few bars and restaurants and is just a short drive from the villa.
The nearby town of Barjols, with its multiple water fountains, waterfalls, and washhouses, is well worth a visit.
