There’s an authentically warm ambience across this traditional family villa which sleeps up to 12 guests across five bedrooms. The home’s air-conditioned lounge opens to one of the terraces whilst the kitchen is of the highest quality with its Gaggenau appliances. The bedrooms are pretty and welcoming – we especially love the king-size double suite upstairs with its romantic bathtub and private terrace.
With vast terraces and such picturesque gardens, you are sure to spend most of your time outside. All the family will love the swimming pool which includes a shallow ‘plage’ area for youngsters and the summer kitchen and barbecue is a wonderful area for al-fresco feasts with family or friends. Across the hectare of grounds, the scents and sights of Provence come alive with summer colour, olive trees and majestic pines. You may also be lucky enough to be able to pick your own seasonal fruit in this haven of tranquility.
Close to a small historic village with a weekly market on a Wednesday morning, so much of Provence is within easy reach. Start off in Les Alpilles where you will come across picture-perfect villages such as Eygalières and Les Baux-de-Provence or follow Van Gogh’s trail in artistic Saint-Rémy. Then head to the beguiling hilltop villages of the Luberon, from Ménerbes to Gordes, surrounded by the most magnificent landscapes of vineyards, orchards and forests. Both regions offer a wealth of walks, cycle rides and horse-riding opportunities, not to mention exquisite wines and olive oils alongside atmospheric Farmers markets.
The historic city of Avignon is also close by, just over half an hour by car, or even closer visit the bustling market town of Cavaillon, famous for its summer melons and fascinating heritage. L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue also awaits, a must on a Sunday morning when its much-loved brocante takes place, followed by lunch on a riverside terrace or perhaps even a spot of canoeing along the beautiful Sorgue.
- The 12-person rate includes all five bedrooms and the use of a single daybed on the mezzanine level upstairs. Bedroom 5’s bathroom is open plan to the bedroom.
