The sociable kitchen is filled with the very best high-tech gadgets whilst there is a colourful dining room with stunning modern artwork complementing the old fire-place. The high standard of the interior design shines through with interesting pieces of furniture, elegant décor, modern art and only the very finest facilities.

For parties of six to twelve guests, the Farmhouse is also made available. Once again, the renovation is of the highest standard with an ultra modern kitchen and a relaxing lounge with a 1940s bar, plus three king-size bedrooms and an upper terrace enjoying beautiful views. The delightful courtyard and sheltered outdoor lounge, featuring a well and a 300 year old nettle tree, are perfect places for friends and family to gather at any time of day.

The characterful and quirky Tower is opened for further guests, a cosy but charming home dating back to the fifteenth century with a kitchen, lounge and two lovely bedrooms reached via a steep stone spiral staircase. You are rewarded with heavenly views at the very top.

The vast grounds are equally as magnificent with a splendid heated swimming pool, gorgeous terraces and the relaxing sound of water from the estate’s streams and fountains.

There are green spaces to explore, walks to discover and old trees to seek shade under, it really is a very enchanting setting. Furthermore, the estate is a working farm with 2800 olive trees, during the spring you can watch the farmers prune the trees and in the autumn it’s harvest time – both interesting and memorable experiences to watch.

Set in 13 hectares of olive groves, streams and even a canal, this really is a rural paradise with stunning views of the Baux valley and Alpilles Natural Park.

Fontvielle (4km) is a picturesque village nearby with a handful of restaurants, a pretty church, small museum and some lovely walks over the surrounding hills of pine trees, olive groves and oak. A little further you will find more facilities at Tarascon (9km), a historical town on the banks of the River Rhône. It’s worth exploring the medieval lanes, visiting the popular weekly market and finding a pleasant terrace café for a drink or two.

You are of course in the heart of this formidable area of vineyards, idyllic hilltop villages, world-renowned towns, and summer landscapes of sunflowers. Baux-de-Provence (10km), one of France’s acclaimed ‘plus beaux villages’and Van Gogh’s precious Arles (17km), are both within easy reach. Delightful St-Remy (16km) with its art filled streets and renowned restaurant scene is within half an hour through the glorious Alpilles Natural Park. Gordes (56km) is yet another one of the beautiful villages worth visiting with stunning architecture, set in the outstanding Luberon region, surrounded by lavender fields in the summer months.

The small but lively city of Avignon (30km) is worthy of a visit during your stay. Explore the winding medieval streets, experience further excellent dining opportunities and visit two unesco world heritage sites, the Pope’s Palace and Saint Benezet Bridge. The covered market offers all sorts of delights or head to the weekend farmers, flower and flea markets for wonderful local produce and a bargain or two. The bohemian quarter of the city, just next to the Sorgue river, has more of a village atmosphere with its artists, musicians, cafes and wine-bars.

Those looking for activity have so much on their doorstep. There is both horse-riding and golf within a short drive and both the immediate and wider area are a walkers and cyclists paradise with stunning countryside and landscapes. Older children will love kayaking in the Sorgue and there are plenty of other family friendly activities throughout the region from model railways, open castles to trekking across the tree tops and visiting a zoo.
