With enchanting views over the roof tops towards the mountains and landscapes of Provence, Les Alpilles enjoys an enviable setting in the idyllic village of Eygalières.

This is a rare find, a house with immense character set above the village amongst old stone houses. It is in fact two houses side by side which are joined together by a charming Provençal patio, plus a third cottage just by the garden.

Inside the rambling interiors you’ll discover vaulted kitchens, six pretty bedrooms, five quirky bathrooms and comfortable living spaces amongst traditional features such as exposed rock, wood beamed ceilings and steep steps and passages. The home is full of light yet thick stone walls keep the interiors cool in the heat of the summer sun. The furnishings are the perfect blend of old-style vintage and modern pieces whilst contemporary art adds to the bohemian vibe. 

Dine al-fresco with friends and enjoy good local wine in authentic surroundings on the stone patio overlooking the fountain or follow the steps down to the garden with a dazzling swimming pool and glorious mountain views. With towering Cypress trees and mesmerising vistas around, this is an idyllic setting and it’s no wonder A-list celebrities have bought houses in the village, including just next door.

You can wander into the heart of Eygalières in a couple of minutes where you’ll find a bakery, butchers, restaurants and a lovely Farmer’s market on a Friday morning. This is an archetypal Provençal village with winding lanes, an old church, beautiful gardens and amazing views of olive groves, vineyards and Les Alpilles mountains afar.

Cyclists and keen walkers can follow stunning trails in the surrounding valleys, winding through landscapes of lavender, pine forests and olive trees. Delightful St-Rémy is just fifteen minutes by car whilst other magnificent villages of Les Alpilles Natural Park include Mausanne and Les Baux-de-Provence, one of France’s Plus Beaux Villages.

Whether discovering the beauty of the nearby Luberon National Park with villages such as Van Gogh’s beloved Gordes or visiting the fascinating cities of Arles, Avignon and Nimes, this is quintessential Provence and an absolutely wonderful place to be.
