This roomy Provencal villa is charmingly located on the outskirts of the walled village of Pernes-les-Fontaines. Graced with many windows letting in the famous light of Provence, the first level features the kitchen, dining room and living area. As you go in through the front door, the kitchen is on the left and the large dining area with a beautiful stone fireplace is to your right. A few steps down from the dining room is the Gaudi-esque, recessed sitting room designed by the host himself. The lower level also features a water closet.
Leading up from a corner of the dining area are the stairs to the second level. This level features the master bedroom with high ceilings, a double bed, terrace with table and chairs and a large walk-in closet. The much smaller second bedroom has two twin beds and overlooks the courtyard. The water closet upstairs is separate from the shower room. There is a third bedroom with two small bunk beds, really made just for children (or storing your suitcases)

Pernes-les-Fontaines, France - Provence, Home of Hermann House
As its name suggests, Pernes-les-Fontaines is a town of fountains. The 30-odd fountains scattered throughout the town – varying in size, design and condition – were mostly installed in the late eighteenth century and can be seen as part of a trail that encompasses all of the fountains as well as the town’s historic legacy.
In addition to the fountains, you can walk into the old town center through the fifteenth-century fortified gateway. Trace the remains of the city ramparts. Climb up to the top of the thirteenth-century Ferrande Tower to see frescoes from the period. Drop into the dungeon of the ruins of the ancient Chateau of the Counts of Toulouse. Take refuge under the eighteenth-century covered market, or just take a stroll and enjoy the beautiful town houses, dating from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Almost every turn through the old town of Pernes-les-Fontaines provides a glimpse of its historic wealth.
A sizeable town with more than 10,000 residents, Pernes-les-Fontaines has all the amenities – banks, bakeries, butcher, supermarkets and other shops – as well as its own outdoor market on Saturdays featuring locally grown produce. There are several well-regarded restaurants in town and the surrounding area..
Located at the northern end of the Vaucluse plateau, Pernes-les-Fontaines offers a wide variety of day-trip possibilities as close as 20 minutes away and as far as 1.5 hours. The Fontaine de Vaucluse, famed source of the Sorgue River, is 15 minutes away, the cities of Avignon, Aix-en-Provence and Nîmes are within a 1-hour drive. Smaller towns and villages like Arles, Orange, St. Rémy and Vaison-la-Romaine are within a 1-hour drive as well. Also, Gigondas, the natural beauty of the Luberon Mountains and villages, the world-famous wine villages of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, and the Roman legacies are all easy day trips.
Customer comments about Hermann House, Pernes-les-Fontaines, France - Provence
"Our house and our location were great. Our landlord was friendly and helpful. We were able to travel to different parts of Provence with a dependable car. (S. & L, Nunn 10/19)
"Hermann house was a joy ! Marie Aline provided us with wonderful dinner and breakfast . She is such a gracious hostess ! Thank you !" (C. & L. McLaughlin 9/19)
"Charming, roomy, master bedroom and bedding a bit tired. Could be terrific. The pool was a great bonus. Used it everyday." (Alice and Douglas Fromm 9/18)
"Our landlady, Mary Line, couldn't have been more helpful! She loaned me her curling iron when mine blew the circuit and died, and she drove to rescue us in Carpentras when our car broke down. She was great. The kitchen knives were so dull that it was hard to cook; that's my only complaint. We enjoyed sitting out on our terrace enjoying coffee or wine, listening to the birds sing." (M. Martin 9/18)
