Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You don't get these kinds of views very often. Miles of untouched Luberon landscape unfold from the dining terrace of this home, offering a stunning backdrop to alfresco feasts and sunset drinks. You may not get these same vistas from the pool terrace, but with a pizza oven and ping-pong table, you'll be too occupied to notice. The interiors are tailor-made for entertaining, too – at the heart of the villa is an open-plan living space, where natural hues and exposed wooden beams lend a country aesthetic. A fifteen-minute walk brings you to the historic village of Viens, with its Renaissance château – make sure to visit on a Wednesday for the local market.

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.
