Charming villa, exceptional view over the rooftops of Manosque, heated pool

LOCATION:
The house is located on the Mont d'or hill, and was built in 1967 in the "Violettes" park: a classified wooded area created in 1880, which it overlooks with no other view than the remarkable tall trees, the roofs of Manosque and the campanile...
