Among the classic boulangeries, rolling vineyards and picture-pretty lavender fields of Provence, with views over the Rhone Valley, this quirky villa awaits. As soon as you ascend the sweeping staircase that leads to the pea-green entrance, you'll know you're about to enter a home that's one-of-a-kind. This is the type of home that only gets better the further you venture inside, and the garden is where it really shines. Boasting a Roman-style, colanded swimming pool, you may start to wonder whether you're still in France. Most likely influenced Provence's Romanesque monuments and rich history, the circular pool not only gives this home the "wow" factor, but also provides a place to cool down and re-energise after a day out in the sun. Speaking of days out, you won't have any problems trying to fill your time here. Located just 1.5km from the Medieval town of Beaucaire, take a walk along the colourful, tree-lined marina, explore the castle and treat your tastebuds to a traditional French meal in this historic spot. Round off a perfect day with a barbecue in the garden. A summer kitchen ensures you're kitted out for cooking alfresco feasts, whilst the roof terrace provides the perfect place to sip a glass of wine and take in the panoramic views of the valley. Despite being so close to the centre of Provence, this home's high walls and hilltop location make for a peaceful atmosphere and a sense of seclusion, offering the best of both worlds if you're looking for some quiet time without having to miss out on the excitement of sightseeing.
