Bathed in the soft light of Provence, Sous la Glycine is a beautifully restored farmhouse surrounded by olive trees between the Alpilles and the Camargue. With characterful interiors and space for up to 13 guests, this generous farmhouse is made for families and friends seeking leisurely days together in southern France.
Inside, weathered beams and exposed stone walls preserve the farmhouse’s heritage, while thoughtful refurbishment brings warmth and comfort throughout. The spacious living room centres around a handsome fireplace, particularly atmospheric on cooler evenings. In the open plan dining area, large arched windows frame views across the garden, creating a bright setting for convivial meals prepared in the traditional kitchen. Five double bedrooms offer plenty of space to unwind, three of which feature air-conditioning, while younger guests have a dorm-style triple air-conditioned bedroom with sofas and a TV.
Outdoors, Provençal life takes centre stage. Lunch beneath the wisteria covered arbour as dappled sunlight filters through the leaves, then retreat to the swimming pool, which is surrounded by olive trees. Loungers invite long afternoons in the sun, while pétanque and table tennis add a playful touch to relaxed days at home. As evening approaches, gather around the barbecue and linger over dinner on the terrace.
Sous la Glycine also places guests within easy reach of some of Provence’s most compelling landscapes and historic towns. Fontvieille and Arles are both a short drive away, with Arles offering extraordinary Roman heritage and a rich artistic legacy. The limestone hills, walking trails and picture-perfect villages of Les Alpilles stretch northwards, including Les Baux de Provence. To the south-west, the wetlands of the Camargue reveal a different side of the region, known for white horses, black bulls and flamingos.
Whether exploring Roman monuments, wandering through Provençal villages or simply spending the day beneath the wisteria, Sous la Glycine offers an evocative setting for sharing the rhythms of southern France.
- The farmhouse sleeps up to 13 guests across five double bedrooms plus a dorm-style room for children with three single beds.
