Description Chateau Soleil: Lacoste

Approached from a long cypress-lined drive, this Provence home is full of grandeur. Boasting a double swimming pool, two alfresco dining areas, and 4 acres of gardens, the outdoor space has lots to shout about. And with en-suite bedrooms, and an open-plan living area – complete with piano and library – indoors impresses too. Relaxing days can start with breakfast on the terrace – arranged by your host – and end watching the sunset from the poolside. When you’re ready to explore, you can wander up to the historic hilltop village of Ménerbes. Or jump in the car and head to picturesque Gordes, Roussillon, or Bonnieux – all within a 10-kilometre drive.

Home truths:
*Two of the bedrooms have a bathtub integrated into the bedroom so privacy is limited.
*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.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced.
*There's an electric vehicle charging point here and private parking.
