Açıklama İngilizceThis 18th century shepherd’s dwelling has been transformed into a home steeped in beauty, luxury and comfort which makes the most of is truly extraordinary views. Smaller windows once designed to keep out winter cold have been replaced with vast expanses of glass doors and windows through which the rugged Alpilles are showcased.

Immediately around the villa and heated pool are beautifully designed terraces, precisely planted beds and clipped lawns behind which a gentle, fragrant lavender field leads the eye towards the remainder of the spacious grounds. The wild, stark buttresses of the mountains contrast superbly with the more managed verdure of the foreground.

Open the huge view-framing doors and lie back in the indoor heated pool after a quick ride on the fitness bike or sit just anywhere in the living area to be overwhelmed by the location. Furnishings are simple and tasteful to avoid distracting the gaze, with the occasional quirky piece of statement art or furniture to please the eye.
