Perched in a perfectly picturesque Provençal landscape – oak trees, lavender, and olive groves in every direction – this home outside Murs offers the kind of seclusion that's hard to come by. Views stretch from the Luberon to the Alpilles, and large bay windows draw the outside in, with multiple terraces off the living and dining areas for long alfresco lunches. The heated pool and sun deck are where most days will end up. Inside, the rooms are split across the main villa and guest house, making it ideal for friends and families. When you're ready to explore, Gordes, Ménerbes, Bonnieux, Roussillon, and Oppède are all within easy reach.

• Your host can help arrange bike hire, catering, wine tours, and cookery, photography and art classes for you. They can also help to organise insurance, car hire, and flights.Cost on request
