OUR ACTIONS FOR THE PLANET

LA VILLA OUSTAL lives in total harmony with its environment, a few minutes on foot or by bike from the Town Center of Carpentras via Via Venaissia .

Depending on the season , squirrels, blackbirds, magpies, hoopoes, jays, sparrows, cicadas, owls, woodpeckers, wild boars, frogs, snails and insects coexist peacefully in the park or the orchard.

Birdhouses are installed in the Park.

In the Orchard : Fig trees, Plum tree, Pear tree, Apple tree, Olive tree, Almond tree, Pomegranate tree, Medlar tree where you can pick your fruit.
We offer you our aromatic herbs for your culinary preparations: Thyme, Rosemary, Basil, Sage, Dill, Mint, Tarragon, Chives.

Nature is preserved. We do not use pesticides. We use pheromones to repel mosquitoes.
We use Bouillie Bordelaise for the maintenance of our shrubs, grinding serves to keep the humidity of our plantations and the compost is made from collecting leaves and mowing.

WATER

Our water comes from 3 sources:
Carpentras Canal (association- raw water withdrawal in Durance) : for watering the garden.
To combine business with pleasure, walks along the Carpentras Canal are a great way to discover the interior of our countryside.
Borehole water (40 meters) : for the house. Installation of a catalysis system to leave limescale in suspension.
Town Water: If one day we encounter a problem......but we don't want to!!

ENERGY and CARBON BALANCE

Traditional lamps, which consume a lot of energy, are gradually being replaced by LED lamps indoors.
In the park, the lighting is entirely LED lamps with a timer.

A linen with the scents of Provence!! The hanging is natural both outside and inside.

For your comfort, our rooms are air-conditioned, we will remind you of good usage practices upon your arrival. Nothing better than the tips of our ancestors: close the shutters!!

To heat you in winter, several options: the fireplace (wood is provided and comes from the felling of our unfortunately dead trees), reversible air conditioning or the heat pump.

Under the carport, a socket is dedicated to charging electric cars.

INTERVIEW

The toilets benefit from a septic tank by spreading without treatment.
The linen is cleaned by an ORGANIC dry cleaner.
The waste is sorted. We will show you how to do it.

SECURITY

The security of the house is ensured by closing the shutters and an alarm system.
The swimming pool is secured by a roller shutter.
