About This Villa

This beautifully unique Provençal farmhouse exudes character and artistic flair, set in its own pretty garden with a gently heated swimming pool. Here you are staying on a magnificent wine estate owned by Ridley Scott and family, surrounded by vineyards in the foothills of the Luberon below the perched village of Oppède le Vieux.

Lounge back in the wood-beamed lounge admiring the carefully curated artwork, objets d’art and even the occasional prop from the owner’s illustrious Hollywood career. Guests can expect air-conditioning throughout as well as chic furnishings and high-end features. The contemporary kitchen is sleek, there’s Smart TV and an iPod dock and each of the five bedrooms has been stylishly designed with gorgeous en suite bathrooms. One of the bedrooms is set within its own apartment with a lounge and kitchen, still part of the main house but with an independent entrance, ideal for a couple seeking a little privacy.

The Mediterranean garden is your very own haven of tranquility with verdant trees, a beautiful swimming pool and shaded terrace for al-fresco dining. Imagine relaxing in the dappled shade with a glass of the estate’s wine in hand as you embrace the calmness of your idyllic surroundings. Indeed, you will have the opportunity to sample some of the domaine’s wines during your complimentary hour-long winery tour and there is a wonderful wine shop within the estate, just a short stroll away.

Guests often walk to the local village (or it’s a short drive way) where you will find a boulangerie, small grocery store, café and restaurants. Drive up to perched Oppède le Vieux to soak up its rich medieval heritage and marvel at the stunning views, then take time to visit nearby Ménerbes, the hilltop village that inspired ‘A Year in Provence’. Other iconic villages of the Luberon include Gordes, Roussillon  and Bonnieux. Come across local markets showcasing delights of the region such as cherries, strawberries, melons, cheeses, honey, lavender products, olive oil and wine.

Explore the dreamy landscapes by bike or on foot, canoe along the Sorgue River, enjoy tree-top adventures and discover rock-climbing and mountain biking opportunities. Try yet more wines of the Luberon and Rhône valley, sample the olive oil of Les Alpilles, find antique treasures in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and admire the rich history of this incredible region as you visit towns and cities from Avignon and Aix-en-Provence to Arles and Nîmes.
