Rolling views, four acres of manicured gardens and a pool framed by fountains – this is classic Provence at its most atmospheric. Set in the hills near Rognes, just 20 minutes from Aix-en-Provence and 15 from Lourmarin, the location makes exploring effortless. Inside, the style is timeless bastide – elegant furnishings, cool tiled floors and five air-conditioned en-suite bedrooms (with a sixth available on request). Outside, trellised walkways, orchards and formal gardens create endless corners for long lunches or quiet reading. The pool sits 25 metres from the house, with wide countryside views and optional heating in cooler months. Hiking trails begin at the gate, local markets are close by, and evenings are best spent under Provençal skies with a glass of something chilled.

About Provence

Provence’s pastoral landscapes are a French fantasy come true. Peaceful hills humming with cicadas, swathes of olive trees, colourful markets, secluded creeks, and scrublands perfumed with lavender are all evocative of this southern French idyll. It’s little wonder why Cezanne, Van Gogh, and Chagall all felt the pull to immortalise the region in art. But beyond its mouthwatering food and drink, sensory romance, and small-town serenity, it’s the region’s manifold...
