With a lot of space, it is well set for 2 families wishing to spend holidays together with the kids. There are 4 ensuite bedrooms plus spacious shared lounge areas and decks. The long and fenced pool will reassure parents with young kids. The fireplace makes it a nice winter or fall retreat also.

Why Kids Love it

There is so much space to play, all the better if there are 2 families here together. There are no neighbors to complain about the shoutings and sounds of laughter either! The garden and fenced and secure pool are a great place to play; the kids will be delighted to play hide and seek in the garden. There are many local sights to visiting in the nearby villages; the beach is a 50km drive away. Tree climbing, kayaking, and fishing are all easy to do nearby. Welcome basket for kids and adults provided.

About the Location

Nestled into the rock at the heart of Provence, this old farmhouse converted into a summer villa is located on Route des Baux de Provence. This central location in Les Alpilles makes a Provence stay with the kids super easy. It is approximately 45 minutes from Marseille airport and 25 minutes to Avignon TGV station. There are 3 villages under 2 km away: Paradou, Fontvieille and Maussane, plus Les Baux de Provence, an easy 5 minute drive away. The nearest village has grocery stores, a small supermarket, a butcher, bakeries, restaurants and more.

Accommodation Details

This 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom house with a pool is set in a 4-hectare park planted with pine and olive trees. The living room and kitchen open onto the terrace and pool. All bedrooms have a private ensuite bathroom and queensize beds. There is an indoor and outdoor kitchen and a spacious living room with dining room. The house is set across 2 levels and built into the rock; it has a slightly unconventional layout, with a kitchen accessed up stairs from the lounge. Some bedrooms are upstairs and others are downstairs.

Style Notes

Boho luxe. This house has a unique style and was completely renovated in 2012 by its owners, an artist couple. Its gypsy caravans, Camargue-inspired decoration, and playful primary colors make it a bohemian, inspiring and artistic retreat. The villa is bathed in light all day but stays fresh thanks to the air conditioning system. We love the terrace for late night conversations and dinners, the jogging path and petanque court in the expansive gardens and the unique art found throughout the home.

Provence, South of France

Markets, lavender and the cigale's song

It’s no wonder that Provence has inspired artists from Cézanne to Picasso with colors like these: purple fields of lavender, white horses in the Camargue and blue, blue skies in summer. Experience it like the locals by shopping for fresh figs and sunflowers in local markets, seeking out quiet beaches and swimming in lakes and rivers. From the Alps to the coast, the honey-coloured hilltop villages to the perfume fields of Grasse, and the simple pleasures of country living to luxurious enclaves and Michelin-starred restaurants, this corner of France is divine.
