An infinity pool with sweeping views over the Provençal countryside is the centrepiece of this villa just minutes from Aix-en-Provence. The garden is made for long, lazy days in the sun, with terraced seating and a pétanque court. But the drama doesn't stop there. Inside, it's all about the contemporary finishes. We're talking an office that doubles as a cinema room, multiple en-suite bedrooms (including one with a fibre-optic starlit ceiling), and a wellness area complete with a sauna, an indoor pool, a gym, and a Jacuzzi. There's even a pickleball court for friendly competitions. Location-wise, you're close to Aix's village shops and eateries, while Montagne Sainte-Victoire – the limestone peak that captivated Cézanne – rewards those who make the hike.
