Art of Paradise

This classic Provencal villa was made for outdoor living. It's surrounded by manicured gardens to wander, includes a large swimming pool for cooling off, and boasts an outdoor kitchen and dining table for group barbecues and alfresco feasts. If relaxing is on the cards, you'll find yoga mats in the wellness area. Travelling with little ones? There's a playground, trampoline, darts board, pentanque court, and a dormitory room with space for them to sprawl out – it's perfect for families. The local village of Lambesc, full of authentic eateries and shops, is just a five-minute drive away. Further afield are Aix-en-Provence (twenty-five minutes by car) and Marseille (an hour's drive) when you're in the mood for a day trip.
