The Alpilles are known for their picture-perfect Provençal landscapes – and this home drops you right into one of those scenes. Lush gardens surround the main villa and small cottage annexe, where you can find a sunny spot to unwind on the patio or simply lie back in the shade of one of the ancient trees. The interiors may favour modern style, but there's a rustic simplicity to the bare stone walls and open spaces, and you'll wake up to peaceful orchard views in the bedrooms. While this is a tempting spot to completely retreat from the world, we recommend a visit to the nearby hilltop town of Les Baux-de-Provence – if only for the stunning views.
