This is the upper apartment and sleeps 2/4 . The lake is beautiful for swimming and relaxing. It's only 5 minutes walk or a minute in the car away. There are beaches near the village with snack bars and boat hire. Or, if you prefer privacy, the lake is surrounded by secluded beaches which you can walk, drive or better still go by boat to. Parking is available on the street directly outside the apartment From the front door, which is framed by an ancient grape vine, you enter into the downstairs open plan living area. There is a new well equiped modern kitchen with beautiful granite worktops and marble tiles, a dining area which will seat 4 and a living area with a large L shaped settee which makes a large sofabed if required. There is also a downstairs WC. The interior is full of character with natural stone walls and exposed beams. Upstairs there is a mezanine floor which has a double bed and modern shower room with an additional WC. There are nice views of the village houses from the shuttered window, and the rooflight makes it very bright and airy. There is a stunning view of the lake and distant hills from the french windows and the double height ceiling gives a wonderful sense of space. Outside there is a balcony with a table and two chairs which provides a fantastic position to enjoy the view. There is the use of a shared washing machine in the cellar under the lower apartment, where there is also additional storage space for bikes or other bulky items. Guests have sole use of the apartment St Croix Du Verdon is in the unspoilt heart of Provence which is characterised by deep valleys and snow capped mountains to the north and gentle undulating fields of lavender, vines and sunflowers in the south and west. It is where the Haut Var meets the Alpes-d'Haute Provence and is known as 'Green Provence'. This area offers a very different pace of life to the more bustling south coast and it is characterised by forested mountains, vineyards, lavender fields and olive groves between beautiful ancient hilltop villages and small towns. Nearby towns and villages such as Riez, Aups, and Forcalquier still thrive on their traditional industries of making honey, cheese, cultivating truffles and pressing olive oil. Riez, only 10 min from St Croix has a wonderful street market on Wednesdays and Saturdays, two supermarkets and many lovely cafes, shops and restaurants. The area is probably most famous for the 'Gorges du Verdon', one of Europe's biggest canyons. The gorge itself is at the head of the Lac and makes for a multitude of outdoor activities. There are awe inspiring roads, cycle routes and walks all around. For the more adventurous there is climbing and rafting. The Verdon river which formed the gorge runs into the Lac (Ste Croix) and then downstream there are further gorges and additional Lacs (Quinson, and Esparron) for further exploration. A car is required as public transport is limited ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Limited on-site parking ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Oven - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer ### Living spaces - Living room - Separate dining area ### Outdoor areas - Balcony ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property;

The water is truly as turquoise as in this photo, magnificent. I'd love to share some tips if I had any but sadly I didn't spend much time in this area. However, Moustiers-Sainte-Marie is a stunning small village close to Verdon and is well worth a visit after a day exploring, swimming or climbing. #canyon #water #river #france #bucketlist](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6139599/53498c1a-b688-4770-b87e-cf99fa82deab.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Lac de Sainte Croix 3 min walk \- 0.2 miles - ![486138832](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6361356/14b8476d-903b-4fca-9de3-be8800f2eeb4.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Gorges du Verdon 25 min drive \- 14.1 miles - ![Lavender fields near to Ferrassieres in the Drome.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635796023041/3d4dc641-1695-4bfb-90ec-7ee009c4a348.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Lavender Fields 42 min drive \- 20.9 miles - Verdon 11 min drive \- 3.3 miles - Historic Moustiers Sainte Marie 16 min drive \- 10.3 miles ### Getting around - Mézel/Châteauredon Station 37 min drive ### Restaurants - Le Central 9 min drive - Mamacita 2 min walk - Le Mille Pâtes 28 min drive - La cote lac 28 min drive - Nauti-Snack 6 min walk ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Lou Marcelou - Apartment One pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at Lou Marcelou - Apartment One? ### What time is check-in at Lou Marcelou - Apartment One? ### What time is check-out at Lou Marcelou - Apartment One? ### Where is Lou Marcelou - Apartment One located? ## Have a question?

Supermarkt und Restaurants sind fußläufig erreichbar. Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet, mit Balkon und fantastischem Blick auf den See. Punktabzug für die Lage gibt es aufgrund des Restaurants auf der gegenüberliegenden Straßenseite (Richtung See). Das durchgehende, brummende Geräusch der Lüftungs- /Klimaanlage von der Küche (läuft von vormittags bis abends) war so laut und hat mich persönlich dermaßen genervt, dass ich es nicht lange auf dem Balkon ausgehalten habe. Es gab nur schriftlichen Kontakt mit den Vermietern, dieser war aber sehr gut, es wurde schnell geantwortet und alle Informationen im Vorfeld zugeschickt. Anzumerken ist, dass die Wohnung für größere Menschen ( ca. 1,65m) nur eingeschränkt zu empfehlen ist, da die Stiege zur Galerie recht steil und eng ist und man oben aufgrund der Dachschräge und der Dachbalken nur im hinteren Teil aufrecht stehen kann. Die Stiege läuft dabei auf die Dachschräge zu, man muss sich bücken und auf seinen Kopf aufpassen! Das Bett ( befindet sich ebenso wie das Bad auf der Galerie) hat nur 1,40 x 1,90 m. Die Umgebung bietet zahlreiche Möglichkeiten für Ausflüge und Aktivitäten. ##### Simone R.
