Alpilles Grand Retreat

This sprawling estate is made for big-group getaways. Inside, the spaces are bright and elegant, with multiple living and dining areas, a dedicated pastry kitchen – perfect for bringing in a private chef – plus a wine cellar and bar for pre-dinner drinks. Work up an appetite in the gym or on the private tennis court, followed by a session in the sauna and cold plunge pool. Days drift by with alfresco meals in the landscaped gardens and easy afternoons spent by the pool. When you're ready for a change of scenery, hiking and cycling trails lead straight from the door, while Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is just 16 kilometres away.

Home truths:
*For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here.
*While the home can sleep up to twenty people, the maximum occupancy is eighteen guests.
*For teenagers or staff, there is a tenth bedroom located on the mezzanine level above the playroom. This room is semi-open to the space below, so privacy is limited.
*Two large baskets of wood for burning in the fireplace are included with your stay.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
*A daily self-serve continental breakfast is included with your stay.
*Daily cleaning is also included with your stay, with a mid-week linen change every Wednesday.
*There's a small stream on the estate. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
