Located in rural southern France, this home has a large terrace and garden area for those perfectly tranquil holiday moments. Leave the coolness of the air-conditioned interior and lounge beside the heated pool, admiring the red blaze of the oleanders before taking a dip in the pool’s waters. Stay home for the day and play a spirited game of Boules, or relax with a good book in the comfort of a hammock. Or, simply take in the beauty of the gardens surrounding you. Only a five-minute drive away from this home, you will find a picturesque village in the heart of the Provence des Alpilles with ancient stone houses built from local fifteenth-century quarries, a small museum and church, restaurants to dine in, and plenty of great walks in the surrounding hills where you may catch the scent of rosemary and thyme in the air. Further away, reachable in twenty-seven minutes by car, are the wild plains of La Camargue with its beaches, lagoons, galloping white horses, and amazing pink flamingos. Here you can also enjoy a range of activities, from trekking and quad biking to jeep tours across this incredible countryside. Other activities including horse riding which can be reached...Read more within seventeen minutes, and wine tasting which is only a nine-minute drive away are also great ideas to add to your holiday itineraries. In the evening, sip on an aperitif under the shade of the olive trees and scented Jasmine-covered bower. Then prepare a meal in the outside kitchen complete with a Plancha barbecue, fridge freezer, fryer, ice-maker, and even a Nespresso machine for those early morning starts. Or, even hand the reins over to a private chef and butler and enjoy what they serve up as you dine alfresco on the terrace. Read less
