Provence has inspired many artists like Van Gogh, Picasso and Cezanne, and we would be remiss if we didn’t count the hosts of Le Ballon Rouge amongst them. This home, with its modern aesthetic and intuitive use of colours, is a designer’s dream. The atmosphere, however, couldn’t be further than the stiff formality of a gallery - from the alfresco dining on the terrace, to the poolside loungers, and the comfortable living room complete with fireplace, this home is as welcoming as they come. There’s a sense of play here, with boules and pingpong perfect for a house-wide tournament. If you’re looking for a creative retreat that’s isolated enough for some peace and quiet, yet close enough to access all the cultural sites of the region, Le Ballon Rouge should be rising to the top of your list.

It's not all colour - some spaces remain simple, making use of plants and natural light for a Zen feel

The home is ideally placed to explore the countryside and cultural hubs of Provence

The large French doors in the master bedroom mean you can walk straight out of bed to the garden

Home truths
The home is just far enough from the town of L’Isle sur la Sorgue that you won’t want to walk it every time, so we recommend you bring a car or call a taxi for the short drive
The air-conditioning only serves the bedrooms and living room of the main villa, so whoever’s in the apartment bedroom might get too hot during summer nights

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
