Once the home of painter Georges Item, this refined Provençal farmhouse promises a one-of-a-kind stay. Chop, season and grill in the outdoor kitchen with produce picked from the vegetable garden, and tuck into a complimentary delivery of pastries and fresh fruit in the shade of the dining terrace. Spend afternoons alternating between dips in the private natural pool and games of pétanque, and at sunset, it’s all down to the fire pit for conversations that last well into the evening. Should you manage to tear yourself away, the restaurants, shops and boulangeries of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence are reached in ten minutes by car, and Avignon is ideal for a day trip.

About France
You could easily take a lifetime’s worth of French holidays and still feel like you haven’t scratched the nation’s surface. The most visited country in the world, France has long inspired artists, revolutionaries, dreamers, and bons vivants with its storybook landscapes, artistic treasures, and cultural idiosyncrasies. Paris is, of course, the country’s glittering centrepiece but there are countless beauty spots worth discovering outside of the City of Light. Sun yourself...
