About This Villa
A bundle of special memories is sure to be created at this stunning holiday retreat, in a beautiful setting only a short drive from a picturesque village in Provence’s idyllic Les Alpilles Natural Park.
Six characterful bedrooms comfortably sleep twelve guests and there is plenty of space for your group to mingle or seek a moment of peace with a glass of wine and enjoy the sensual delights of this region. Beautiful stone floors grace every room and there is a plethora of art work and carefully chosen furniture to please the eye as well as all those modern comforts necessary for a relaxing holiday. The living areas and three of the bedrooms have patio doors enabling the outside space of terrace and gardens to blend seamlessly with the interior.
Leave the air-conditioned rooms to step outside and lounge by the heated pool next to the red blaze of the oleanders or beneath the shade of the olive trees and scented jasmine covered bower. Sip an aperitif as you prepare a meal in the outside kitchen and watch the evening light fade over the iconic landscape of olive trees as you dine on the terrace.
When you are ready to explore further afield this whole region is filled with vineyards, orchards, summer sunflowers, idyllic villages and world-renowned towns. Les Alpilles Natural Park provides plenty of opportunity for nature lovers and those looking for more active pursuits such as rock climbing, horse-riding, mountain biking and walking in the glorious landscape.
In the heart of the park is nearby Mausanne, a lovely village nested at the foot of the mountain range and renowned for the superb olive oil produced in its two remaining windmills. Les-Baux de-Provence is classified as one of France’s Plus Beaux Villages with its pretty squares, narrow streets, fortified chateau and some beautiful walking trails around the village and beyond.
The historic town of Arles is very accessible and, for a dramatic change of landscape, it’s easy to reach the 900 square kilometres of La Camargue with its wild countryside, beaches, lagoons, rice fields, galloping white horses and pink flamingos. So many activities can be found here ranging from trekking and quad biking to jeep tours across this fascinating terrain.
