Orchard Bastide

Rolling views, four acres of manicured gardens and a pool framed by fountains – this is classic Provence at its most atmospheric. Set in the hills near Rognes, just 20 minutes from Aix-en-Provence and 15 from Lourmarin, the location makes exploring effortless. Inside, the style is timeless bastide – elegant furnishings, cool tiled floors and five air-conditioned en-suite bedrooms (with a sixth available on request). Outside, trellised walkways, orchards and formal gardens create endless corners for long lunches or quiet reading. The pool sits 25 metres from the house, with wide countryside views and optional heating in cooler months. Hiking trails begin at the gate, local markets are close by, and evenings are best spent under Provençal skies with a glass of something chilled.

Home truths:
*The pool is alarmed but not fenced, so young children will need close supervision.

*The property is less suited to multiple children under 10 due to the layout and garden features.

*The pool is located 25 metres from the house.

*Caretakers live discreetly in a separate building on the grounds.

*Two twin beds can be arranged as a king upon request.
