Live the Provençal dream at this homely maison in the village of Maussane-les-Alpilles. The farmhouse enjoys the unique benefit of a flora-filled private garden while being a five-minute walk from restaurants, boulangeries and elegant wine bars.

With lavender fields as your neighbour, beam-ceilinged rooms with exposed stone walls and a temperate private pool, you can experience the authentic Gallic lifestyle in this villa alongside all the comforts you're used to. The large country-style kitchen is the perfect place to try your hand at French cooking, too – if you'd rather leave it to the pros, your host will be happy to arrange a private chef.

Your local village is home to a number of Michelin star eateries, as well as lowkey pizzerias for those who prefer simple dining. It's also located in the country's hub of olive oil production, so we suggest you stop by an olive press to watch the magic happen. If you've hired a car, you'll be able to visit all of Provence's prettiest villages in no time – start with Arles, just twenty minutes away, then work your way towards Avignon and Aix-en-Provence.

Not only is Particular in Provence located in the heart of Les Alpilles Natural Regional Park, it also boasts stunning views of the mountains and is perfectly positioned to explore the charming towns around it. This is a chic and modern home that will best suit a large family, but we can also imagine a group of close friends enjoying the poolside loungers. When the weather is nice, spend time learning pétanque or walk around the manicured gardens, then go for a refreshing swim in the pool before one of you takes responsibility for the next meal in the delightful kitchen. If you want to venture a little farther than the gardens, take the car down to the nearby village and explore gourmet shops, restaurants, and some of the finest olive orchards in the area. Make sure you pick up some wine before you return to your holiday residence and watch the sunset from the comfort of the terrace. If you want to elevate your stay to a new level, talk to the lovely host team and arrange for some extra perks — they range from private chefs,  wine tastings, butlers, babysitters, to well-being coaches.

A stay at this Baux de Provence villa will leave a lasting impression. We have to say this one really caught our eye – not just for its Provençal charm, but for its sleek interiors and views over the Alpilles mountains. The main house (that's right, there’s also an annexe for guests seeking that extra privacy) has a kitchen to remember – its cave-like architecture is perfectly juxtaposed with the black surfaces and modern amenities. Should you want to take a break from sunbathing next to the saltwater pool, play a game of ping pong or challenge your loved ones to a game of petanque, or visit The Blue Lagoon nearby? This location was made for alfresco dining, so fire up the grill and soak up the hillside views.

Historic charm abounds in this delightful home. It’s tucked away on a quiet lane right in the heart of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, mere moments from the Wednesday marketplace, museums, boutiques, and wine shops. The historic home boasts magnificent 14th-century features including limestone architecture, exposed timber beams, and antique furniture. It’s been stocked with modern amenities including a Nespresso machine and hotel-quality beds, and with local touches like olive-oil toiletries. Best of all, there’s a private roof terrace that offers sweeping panoramic views of Provence. 

The Presbytery

The Olive Retreat is exquisite villa located in the foothills of Les Alpilles National Park. This is a delightfully bright and colourful home set in glorious gardens with mountain views and a heated swimming pool which you'll certainly appreciate during the colder months. it is a stylish house, perfect for a family or friends wanting to stay in this idyllic part of Provence ,especially if you're keen to visit St-Rémy, where Van Gogh painted his iconic 'Starry Night', or the charming historical towns like Arles and the Camargue. When you're not relaxing by the pool or thinking of how lovely your next alfresco meal will be, head down to the nearby village of Pardou, where you'll find some amazing olive oil and other fresh produce that you can incorporate into your recipes. The host team here is absolutely amazing and more than happy to organise any additional service that can make your stay even more special — talk to them about private chefs, babysitters, butlers, maid service, wine tastings, and more. 

The Olive Retreat

Exercise Equipment

Outdoor Kitchen

Within walking distance of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence's town centre, you'll discover restaurants, museums, and the region's grand market on your doorstep. Idyllic in every sense, the south-facing garden is perfect for sunbathing on the poolside terrace – although our favourite spot is the orangery, with its summer kitchen and light-filled living space. We love that multiple seating areas are spread across the main house, outdoor patio and a separate annexe, which is great for groups seeking to split off in their downtime. 

Reflections of Sunshine

Garden Escape is an old farmhouse that's been meticulously restored by the heritage-loving host. While plenty of period features remain, the interior is mostly furnished with high-end minimalist pieces that create a delightful hybrid atmosphere. Still, we don't expect you to be spending most of your time admiring the furniture — the outdoor parts of this home are far more exciting than the insides. From the alfresco spots and loungers scattered around the garden to the huge swimming pool that's perfect for  a morning swim, Garden Escape does its name justice. When you're ready to venture a little farther, the charming town of St-Remy where Van Gogh painted the famous 'Starry Night' is only a short walk away, but since you'll be staying in the heart of Provence, every road will take you to a beautiful market town. Bring back a nice bottle of wine and enjoy watching the sunset from the garden. Retreat to the breezy living room for a movie night, and prepare for another day of relaxation. 

Garden Escape

Umbrellas

This beautiful home is what holidays in the south of France are all about. You’ll find shuttered windows and ivy creeping up the exterior of the soft-hued home, and two hectares of glorious green gardens. Whether you plan to doze in the shade of an ancient tree or swim laps in the tranquil heated swimming pool, you’ll feel relaxed as soon as you arrive. 

The farmhouse is located in the foothills of Les Alpilles a twenty-one-minute walk from Saint-Rémy. There you’ll find restaurants and cafes, as well as the fascinating archaeological site of Glanum. 

Les Alpilles is a great place to stay if you’re keen to be active on your holiday – don’t worry though, there’s still plenty of opportunity for eating pastries and sipping wine. Head to the pretty hilltop town of Eygalières – just seventeen minutes away – to ride bikes or take the children pony-trekking. The scenery is breath-taking. History buffs will enjoy a day trip to Avignon, where you’ll find two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The journey takes thirty-eight minutes and you’ll be rewarded with rich history, a lively art and culture scene and Michelin-starred restaurants. 

Back at the villa after a busy day, relax on the terrace with a book while the kids splash in the pool or play on the swings. Once they’ve gone to bed, spend some time in the Jacuzzi gazing up at the night sky.

Set on a hectare of perfectly manicured gardens, this 18th-century farmhouse is a charming escape to the French countryside. Playing to its strengths, you'll find ample outdoor seating overlooking the rolling landscape, including our favourite space for alfresco meals – the vine-covered pergola. With a private studio at the bottom of the garden and another bedroom in an annexe, it makes the perfect destination for a family holiday where some guests crave a little more privacy. Come together around the ping pong table and petanque court or in the private swimming pool, and when you want to explore your surroundings, head to Saint Rémy de Provence in minutes.

A thirty-minute drive from the red rooftops of Avignon, this home allows you to explore the depths of the Provence countryside. In this wonderfully organic landscape, it’s hard to believe you’re just an hour from the metropolis of Marseille. So if lush, verdant scenery is more your thing, this home certainly won’t disappoint.

Jade, forest, emerald, lime, olive, mint – you can use every single word for green to describe the charming exterior of this home. From tall leafy trees, to flowerbeds, to shrubs that flow onto the stone paths, this garden is a botanical marvel set over a hectare. Of course there’s a private pool, but we prefer the shade of the terrace and the boules court. You’ll love having meals at one of many alfresco dining spots, especially when you can cook in the fresh air of the outdoor kitchen.

As the cicadas come out by night, head into the main house. Its wooden doors and shutters are green, naturally. Traditional, rustic decor harks back to this home’s days as a farmhouse, but antique furniture and gilded frames create a luxury edge. Someone will be sleeping in the annexe – but its indoor hot tub might sway opinions a bit.

Le Jardin Vert

Fenced Property

The Stone Grove is a house of contrasts; from the outside it is the archetype of a rustic French villa, surrounded by olive groves and rolling hills, but step behind these wooden doors and you’ll discover a brightly coloured, contemporary aesthetic and a pool glittering in the sunlight. The unusual modern art pieces scattered around the property’s three seperate building make for an inspiring stay; if you feel compelled to create a masterpiece of your own, we recommend setting your easel up in the shade beside the pool overlooking the hectares of scenic countryside.

This 18th-century farmhouse turned artist’s residence is a work of art in its own right and comes with everything creative minds might look for. Mosaic floors, intricate sculptures and whimsical paintings adorn the house and garden, while the communal spaces brim with all the modern comforts you could need. Personal flourishes are found in each bedroom; they come uniquely decorated (and fragranced). We’d recommend you pack your paint brushes, too - St-Rémy-de-Provence, an essential place of pilgrimage for any budding artist, is only a short drive away.


Van Gogh’s Choice

Herb Garden

Set on a stunning estate in the heart of Saint-Remy-de-Provence, this gorgeous home features an array of resort-like amenities that guarantee a luxurious experience filled with memories. Wander around the perfectly manicured gardens, where you'll find an abundance of fauna and flora amidst the impressive landscaping. Relax on the surrounding lawns in the sunshine, or find a shaded spot under one of the ancient trees. Better still, take a seat at the alfresco terrace, where you can hear the soothing trickle of the fountain nearby. The private pool features a shallow end, perfect for younger children to splash around in. 

There are plenty of spaces dedicated to relaxation inside the home, too, as, beyond the chic interiors, you'll find an artist’s studio which offers space for yoga, while the relaxation area features an infrared sauna and an Italian shower as well gym equipment. 

Come evening time, gather around the Mediterranean-style kitchen for group cooking sessions. When the weather is warm, open up the arched windows that lead out onto the terrace for barbecues in the sun. End the soirée with a movie night or competitive ping pong/ table ice hockey game, or why not curl up for a movie night in the home cinema room? 

Located around a kilometre away from the centre of Saint-Remy-de-Provence, you'll be within walking distance of an array of bakeries, fruit and vegetable shops, and cafes and restaurants to sample. The town is well-known for its extensive history that proves popular with artists; it was here that inspired the likes of Van Gogh after all. 


Field of Poppies

Tennis Court

The Lemon Garden is a delightful farmhouse conversion with huge gardens, meadows, and olive orchards. You'll be able to smell the lavender as soon as you arrive and we highly recommend a daily walk just to take in the natural beauty that surrounds your holiday residence. The Provençal character in this home is extremely powerful — think rustic furnishings, period features, and plenty of outdoor hangouts with natural shade where you can enjoy a glass of local wine. Since you'll be staying only three kilometres from St-Rémy, we strongly recommend that you drive there at least once, finding clues of what inspired Van Gogh to pain some of his most powerful works here. We expect you'll stumble on a few shops along the way and bring back ingredients for a proper meal, then put them together in the well-equipped kitchen. If you have time in your busy schedule, go for a refreshing swim in the private pool and do a bit of reading before dinner. Watch the sunset together from the comfort of your garden and retreat indoors to watch a movie together. 

The Lemon Garden

Tucked away behind the olive groves and cypress trees, this recently renovated house offers quiet and tranquillity with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Location-wise, you couldn't ask to be in a better spot if you're looking for a taste of Provence. The house is located in the Alpilles Regional Natural Park, just a short drive from the Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, providing you with surrounding natural beauty and a charming commune to explore. Back home, the private lap pool is a real highlight, while the outdoor dining areas and manicured gardens add something special to this private home. 

San Remo

Just two kilometres from this Provençal villa is the town depicted in a Van Gogh’s Starry Night. If that’s not enough to sell you on the scenic beauty of the green Avignon landscape surrounding the home, we’re not sure what is. Spacious enough for a family or group of couples and friends, the home is open-plan to adhere to sociable and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Start the day in the orangery with a traditional French breakfast and lounge in the shade under parasols by the pool. Find a place to hide in the secluded gardens, or get out and about for a hike in the nearby natural park for a rare bird sighting. Say au revoir to the day under the stars on the terrace. 

Van Gogh's Orangery

Thirty minutes by car from the vibrant city of Avignon, the Provence countryside offers a slower lifestyle. Following the Rhône south, towards the hilly region of the Parc Naturel Régional des Alpilles (perfect for hiking) you’ll hit the town of Saint-Rémy. Famously the place where Van Gogh painted The Starry Night, you can try your own hand at painting the town, from this home just a twenty-minute walk away.

Exuding everything you’d expect from a house ‘à la provençal’, old-world elegance is the first theme of this magnificent home. Built in the late 20th century, its pale yellow exterior and pastel blue shutters stand out in the verdant surrounding landscapes – as does the blue of your private pool. Olive trees, lawns, and mountains create a calming environment where you'll love settling down for a picnic with a fresh baguette and camembert.

Luxury rustic continues indoors. You’ll love gliding across the flagstone flooring and vintage, Persian-style rugs. Wicker and leather are sumptuous seating arrangements for the evening, with a stone fireplace to gather around and share a bottle of pinot noir before bed.

Cypress Tree

Lift Access

Packed with French countryside charm, the romantic setting of this gorgeous home invites guests into a whimsical paradise amid the mountains and hills of Les Alpilles. Think olive trees, luscious green lawns and Mediterranean aromatics of the garden – relaxing by the large heated pool couldn't be more blissful. Tuck into tasty French-inspired meals from the romantic vine-covered dining area overlooking the lawns after fun-filled days in the sunshine and making the most of the swimming pool. Adjacent to the pool, you'll also find a petanque court – perfect for balmy evening games with a glass of local wine in hand. Meanwhile, inside a combination of rustic and vintage designs create a stylishly authentic space to call home in Provence. 

Just over a kilometre away from the local village and easy driving distance to many well-known historic towns in the area and an endless array of walking routes. The region is known for its fine olive oil production, which visitors can sample alongside other tantalising treats such as honey and cheese. Don't miss the historic city of Arles, a breathtaking gateway into La Camargue with its wild countryside, beaches, iconic white horses and pink flamingos. From the local areas' vineyards to the picturesque villages, and summer scents of lavender – with this stunning home as your base, you'll get to experience the best of Provence. 



Honey Love 

Ideally located in rural Provence, this country farmhouse will provide the perfect base for those looking to experience the delights of the region. You'll have complete peace and tranquillity here, surrounded by flower-filled meadows and cypress trees. With 10 hectares of gardens at your disposal, you’ll want to spend most of your time enjoying the pool, playing tennis, taking long walks and gathering for supper in the outdoor dining area. Inside, you’ll find two rustic living areas and dining rooms for your entire group to sprawl out and relax. And when you want to explore, the charming commune of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is just a short drive away.

Bruyère & Coast

You'll find this charming and traditional farmhouse on the outskirts of St-Rémy-de-Provence, one of the area's most picturesque towns and also the inspiration for Van Gogh's Starry Night. Your home is enclosed by impressive trees that offer plenty of privacy, but more importantly, we fell in love with the home's charming shutters, private pool, and the ease of multiple en-suite bathrooms. Whether you're visiting as a group or a large family, there's something here for everyone. All we ask is that you make the most of the picturesque setting, whether that's in the form of a picnic, a walk through the village, or long, lazy days spent by the pool.

Starry Nights

Striking the balance between old and new isn’t always easy when restoring a home, but if you ask us, the hosts of Rambling Laurels have got it just right. Antique architectural features combine with soft colours and modern textures to create a home that’s both contemporary and respectful of the original structure of this period building. Outside, the gardens are filled with the scent of climbing roses and blossoming fruit trees, perfect for children’s explorations and outdoor picnics. When you leave the home, you’ll find yourself in the quiet countryside just outside Saint Rémy de Provence, known for being the home of Van Gogh. Take a trip around the villages and fields and see if you can spot the settings of some of his masterpieces. 

Rambling Laurels

In keeping with its surroundings, this villa oozes the Provençal appeal – as the blend of classic French designs with modern furnishings creates a beautiful space to relax and unwind. With many different seating areas dotted around both the inside spaces and the garden, you needn't worry about packing a holiday read as the bookshelf is brimming with literature for you to discover. Head outside into the garden to soak up the south of France's sunny weather. Here you'll find table tennis on the lawn and a refreshing swimming pool to enjoy when the weather is particularly warm. 

Just a short stroll away from the centre of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, a town that inspired many of Van Gogh’s paintings, this charming home invites guests to immerse themselves in the local culture, history and culinary delights. With an abundance of quaint shops, charming cafes and admirable studios and galleries to explore, why not make your way around with the use of the bicycles provided by the host? We suggest heading to Saint-Rémy-de-Provence's old town on a Wednesday morning in particular as the farmer's market selling fresh and local fare presents an atmospheric and oh so French scene to leave inspired by.

This elegant 18th-century chateau effortlessly blends traditional features with contemporary touches. The original fireplaces and domed ceilings exude French charm, while the fully-equipped kitchen and chic bathrooms are right on trend. You’ll have plenty of room here for the whole group to spread out, with ten bedrooms, three living rooms, and a large garden featuring sun terraces and a heated swimming pool at your disposal. But it’s the thoughtful details that really make us swoon, from gym equipment and a grand piano to the custom-built library. Location-wise, it’s nestled in the quaint town of Mouriès. Popular spots like Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Avignon, and Arles are in driving distance and make fantastic options for day trips.

Grace & Mouries

Wheelchair Access

Breathing in the wafting fragrance of the vineyards and olive groves of the Alpilles Natural Park, there's a certain romance about this farmhouse, that once served as an artist studio. It's both a regal and enchanting experience to settle for a meal in the lofty dining room or cook in the palatial well-equipped kitchen. When you're through swimming in the shade of cypress trees or gazing at the Alpilles mountains, you'll be thrilled at the expanse of French countryside all around. We're talking dreamy hilltop villages with cushy yet rustic celebrity homes. Ride past fields of lavender, medieval towns enlivened with local cafes and musicians and streets lined with bistros and fine-dining too. And for those with a taste for sport, horse-riding, trekking and golf are just a few activities at easy reach.

Olives & Lavender

A sprawling and chic home just a five-minute drive from the pretty town of Saint-Rémy, La Piscine is a true Provençal home with terracotta tiles, patterned outdoor brickwork and exposed wooden beams in the master bedroom that create a relaxed and rustic vibe. The pool is the stuff of dreams, as is the bedroom in the pool-facing annexe, and there are plenty more activities to keep you busy, including boules, table football and ping pong. We loved the covered terrace – pretty and practical, it promises al fresco dining all year round. 

La Piscine

Wine Cellar

You may well feel like a lord in the halls of this eighteenth-century manor house, with its antique furniture and original fireplaces. But it's outside that you'll spend more of your time, eating fresh produce from the local market, dining on the terrace under the shade of the fig trees, playing a game of boules or lounging by the inviting pool. When you do manage to tear yourself away, the house is ideally located for visiting Les Alpilles National Park, Avignon and historic French villages, with vineyards and fields of sunflowers just waiting to be explored.

Under the Cypress Shade

This home offers the best of quintessential Provence. Located in Eygalières, a village favourited by A-listers, this stone-retreat blends old-world charm with modern luxury. It’s spacious and perfect for large family gatherings, having initially been two separate houses. A patio joins them both, offering an ideal setting for dining alfresco. Relax in the shade of an awning and towering cypress tree. Here you can enjoy a BBQ or challenge a friend to a game of table football. The large pool and various terraces offer unbeatable vistas of the surrounding valley and mountains, while the garden is full of secret corners, blossoming roses and a boules pitch. The interior is equally charming, with its antique furniture, wooden beams and exposed rock walls. We’d personally never want to venture beyond these walls, but if you’re yearning for adventure, there are nearby forest trails or a farmer’s market on Friday.

A-List

Set on a stunning country estate in the heart of Barbentane, this 18th-century house features an array of charming original features and modern amenities that guarantee a luxurious stay filled with memories. Wander around the hectare of grounds, where you'll find an abundance of fauna and flora amidst the rosemary and thyme gardens. Unwind on the surrounding lawns surrounded by Provençal plants, or better still, take a seat on the terrace shaded by the ancient trees.

The interior of the house has been sensitively restored. Classic features, including wooden beams, an open hearth and ornate tiles are maintained whilst modern finishes complement its original charm. There are plenty of spaces dedicated to relaxation inside the home - a serene living room with plush sofas or a calm master suite opening out to a Juliette balcony. We highly doubt a rainy day here, however, the pianist of the group can soundtrack evenings in front of the crackling fire if a shower does show.

Leisurely afternoons are best spent in the pool or lounging on the south-facing terrace. Come evening time, gather around the Mediterranean-style dining room for a chef-cooked dinner with the region’s best ingredients. End the evening with a few games of boules as the sunset unfolds.

Located around fifteen minutes from the centre of Avignon, you'll be within a short drive of an array of national parks and picturesque streets lined with boulangeries and local restaurants.

Provence Montagnette

The Provence region isn't exactly short of beautiful outside spaces, but the 20 acres of grounds surrounding this home are up there with the most impressive – and best of all, you get these all to yourself.

The landscaped gardens are blissful to wander through on warm afternoons and the ponds filled with water lilies will have any budding Monets reaching for their easel. It's not just easy on the eye, however – the pair of swimming pools, tennis court and children's play equipment will keep guests of all ages entertained, while the barbecue and alfresco dining table will ensure you can have open-air feasts that stretch on long after sunset.

Although you're sure to be spending countless hours in the gardens, the recently renovated living quarters are also quite mesmerising. For a start, lunches in the garden dining room filled with plants and huge windows will be unforgettable. The bright and contemporary lounge has bundles of charm, as do the super-sleek bathrooms with freestanding tubs begging for a soak.

When treated to gardens such as these, you might not see much point in exploring beyond the home's boundaries. However, the village of Noves is one kilometre away if you change your mind and the city of Avignon is only a 15-kilometre car journey, too.

Horticultural Heaven

With a loft apartment vibe – this home in Avignon is full of charm. We love the exposed stone walls and wooden beams, while the modernity of the stainless-steel kitchen and contemporary staircase blends well with the old. There's a Zen atmosphere here, too, thanks to the buddha artwork in the living space. Relax with a good book on the silver velvet sofa, then cook up a Provençal style lunch with ingredients from Avignon Halles, a mere three-minute walk away. However, there are plenty of eateries on your doorstep if you prefer to eat out. Later explore Palais des Papes – one of the most significant medieval Gothic buildings in Europe or watch a production at the Opéra Grand Avignon, both around ten minutes on foot. If nature is more your thing, go for a stroll around Barthelasse Island – there are 700 hectares of countryside to discover, and it's just ten minutes via the ferry. The iconic Pont d'Avignon, on the other hand, is a fifteen-minute saunter, while it’s the same walking distance to Rocher des Doms, a leafy hilltop park with a café.

Bonobo

Rustic French features combine with 70s-inspired living spaces to create a unique blend in the south of France. We love the outdoors here – under the gorgeous sun, you can enjoy cocktails by the pool or play lawn games with the kids. When mealtimes roll around, you can get as much or as little sun as you like with one alfresco area in the sun and the other shaded. Indoors, the super-king beds in each room mean everyone gets a great night's sleep, while the bathrooms on each of the three floors are an excellent convenience. 

Chez André

Stair Gates

Set amidst the French countryside, this gorgeous retreat offers the French countryside experience with an added touch of Mediterranean charm. You'll be blown away by the quaint, idyllic scenes found both inside and outside of this home. We particularly love the enormous, curved Orangerie style backdoor which paves the way to the magical garden setting featuring a shaded alfresco dining area, day beds and a crystal clear pool – divine for a refreshing dip during the height of summer in the south of France. Back inside, the stunning open-plan kitchen-living area ensures a sociable stay for the whole group to enjoy together. The kitchen in particular will excite guests who are fond of cooking as the large central island makes it perfect for group cooking sessions. Why not book for a private chef to come and give you French cooking lessons? You'll also find that the local area allows guests to experience French culture at its finest. Mornings are for market visits here, so head on down into the local village, just a three-minute walk away where you'll find a lady named Patricia who sells fresh fruit and vegetables every Monday and Wednesday morning in the central square, Place de la Fontaine. Better still, visit on a Saturday as this is the main market day for the villagers to stock up on fresh meat, fish, cheese, truffles, wine and flowers. It's safe to say that such a warm and friendly atmosphere is hard to come by in France, if you're not in a rural village like this one.

Maison Orangerie

Single-Level Home

At foot of the Mont Ventoux, in the heart of Vaucluse, nestled between centuries-old oaks and flowers, this charming home is perfect for a couple looking to get away from it all. First and foremost, with a pretty south-east facing garden, furnished terrace and private swimming pool, there's plenty of outdoor space to while away sun-soaked afternoons in the French countryside, with nothing but the sound of the chirping birds to interrupt your rest and relaxation. 

Inside the cottage, appealing artwork adorns the walls and a ruby-red colour palette runs throughout the open-plan kitchen, living and dining space to make for warm and welcoming interiors that will quickly have you feeling right at home. There's a different look in the bedroom with muted grey tones and palm-themed wallpaper to lull you into your restful slumbers with ease, ready for a day of exploring in the morning. 

Location-wise, you've struck gold. While the quaint commune of Carpentras, with its mini-markets, cosy bakeries, cafés, shops and restaurants, is right on your doorstep, you can also reach a number of interesting cities and tourist attractions within minutes. You're a thirty-two-minute drive from Avignon, forty minutes from Gordes, and only twenty-five minutes by car from the Grotte de Thouzon caves, just to name a few.
