This architectural gem of a home is easy on the eye – and it makes it easy to reach the best of Provence, with idyllic L'Isle Sur la Sorgue just a five-minute drive away. Known as Little Venice, this charming town is where you can enjoy lazy riverside lunches and potter around its many antique shops. You may choose to journey further through the rolling hills and scented lavender fields to the nearby villages and towns of Gordes, Ménerbes, Apt, and Saint-Rémy – they'll deliver all the Provençal charms you're chasing. Back home, this striking villa has rest and reset written all over it. Slide open the vast picture window doors to reveal the most peaceful terraces. Surrounded by 4000 square metres of woodland grounds, it's the perfect spot for lazy breakfasts as the birds strike up their morning chorus. Then the rest of the day is yours to hop between the elegant swimming pool and swaying shady hammocks for cheeky afternoon siestas. You can always break up the day with a spot of boules or a round of table tennis. When it's finally time to retreat indoors, there's heaps of space. We're fond of the living space for movie nights, with its impressive fireplace for chillier evenings. And you'll love how fresh and inviting the three bedrooms feel, all boasting king-sized beds, separate bathrooms, and doors opening out onto the gardens when it's time to herald a new day.
