This vibrant villa is a paradise for art lovers thanks to its eclectic décor and works of art in every room. Sleeping up to 12 guests, bedrooms are scattered across the main house and its separate annexe, each one individually designed and featuring a private bath or shower room. The main living room is just as impressive whilst the annexe’s lounge has a picture-book window making the most of the valley views. Both the house and annexe feature excellent kitchen and dining areas whilst there is plenty of space to dine al-fresco across the vast gardens and terraces.
The artistic ambience continues outside as you stroll through the hectare of grounds with romantic cypress trees, summer colours of Provence, sculptures, terracotta pots and olive trees. The rather elegant salt-water swimming pool is heated and there is an arched pool house, a gorgeous spot to unwind by the poolside terrace. Find another corner of the garden where you can gaze out to the wonderful views towards Les Baux valley.
In a residential area on the edge of a village in Le Parc Naturel Régional des Alpilles, it’s just a short stroll to café terraces, little shops, inviting restaurants and the main square which hosts a charming Thursday morning market. Les Baux-de-Provence, one of France’s classified ‘Plus Beaux Villages’, is only 5km away by car whilst other gems of this region include Eygalières and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.
Beyond Les Alpilles, discover the idyllic perched villages of the Luberon such as Ménerbes and Gordes, drive through the landscapes of the Camargue, follow Van Gogh’s footsteps in Arles and spend the day in Avignon with its remarkable UNESCO World Heritage sites.
