With a stunning hillside setting that offers fantastic views over the gently undulating landscape, this traditional farmhouse-style home offers a sophisticated, chic setting for your escape to the French countryside. Enjoy waking up in the elegant, calm-inspiring bedrooms before stepping outside and taking in the magnificent vista from the large stone terraces or dipping into the azure waters of the swimming pool. Then, why not take the short walk into the nearby village – famed for its striking medieval castle as well as for its quintessential Provençal laneways – to pick up some freshly baked croissants from the boulangerie to take back up to the home? Or, perch at an outdoor table of one of the bustling eateries and savour a cup of freshly brewed coffee as you watch the world go by. At least once during your stay, we’d suggest making the thirty-minute drive to the iconic French Riviera to soak up the sights, sounds, and unique atmosphere of this utterly captivating part of the country. Back at home, we can think of no better place to be as the sun begins to set than out on the terrace, with a glass of something chilled in hand. As for dinner, why... not prepare a feast on the barbecue or in the well-equipped kitchen to enjoy alfresco with the rest of your party? Here, la vie really is belle.
