Close GalleryWords are hardly required to describe this scene. -
Close GalleryThe fabulous pool and gardens to the rear of the bastide, with mouth-watering views to the south over the Alpilles range and onwards towards the Luberon National Park. -
Close GalleryLe Jardin d'Aurélia enjoys two swimming pools, this infinity pool is the smaller of the two but enjoys fabulous views. Both pools are heated. -
-
Close GalleryThe sight, sound and refreshing energy of water dominates the formal gardens. -
Close GalleryIn this picture we can see the water channel emanating from the fountain, dissecting the path and emptying into the infinity pool over-flow. This presence of running water is inspired by ancient methods of natural cooling. Like their Roman ancestors in this region, the owners have plentiful water features all over the site. -
Close GalleryThe bastide comprises all the property that can be seen in this photograph save for the part of the building that can be seen to the extreme left of the picture to the left of the tree trunks, which is the back of the grange. On the right you can see the covered terrace with table for 10, comfortable chairs and sofa, a pizza oven and plancha. -
Close GalleryThe front garden of the bastide with its lush lawn and refreshing fountain. -
Close GalleryThe conservatory is filled with daylight and enjoys wonderful views over the formal gardens. -
Close GalleryTo the front of the grange there's a veranda type passage which separates some of the bedrooms from the main living areas. Towards the end of this property description you will find a photograph of the veranda (or conservatory) taken from the interior. -
Close GalleryThe manicured lower garden is a delight, enjoying mottled light for most of the day. An ideal place to lose yourself in self-contemplation. -
Close GalleryThe views, the views ... -
Close GalleryUnder the covered terrace, right outside the kitchen, there's ample sitting room for 10 or more and a pizza oven for those who love to cook. You cannot see the plancha which is on the far right. Right next to the main kitchen, this is the perfect place for al fresco dining. -
Close GalleryThe kitchen is small but very well designed. There's an annex room where goods are stored leaving the kitchen free for preparation. The range cooker is of the highest calibre. Local Provencal chefs often cook in the kitchens here. Why not talk to our concierge about finding one for you? -
Close GalleryThe dining room has French windows opening out into the wonderful garden, but this room doesn't tend to get much use in the summer season such is the choice of al fresco dining areas. -
Close GalleryThe sitting area has an outstanding ceiling giving the room a very special atmosphere.
There's no TV in this room as the cinema room is annexed, as pictured below. -
Close GalleryThe play area with cinema projector annexing the lounge. -
Close GalleryOn the ground floor of the bastide there is a double bedroom that has been redone and is no longer a child's bedroom. We have not been able to photograph the new bedroom yet. The walls are now a soft off-white, the decor very soothing. This bedroom shares a bathroom with another double bedroom. -
Close GalleryThis bathroom is shared by two bedrooms. -
Close GalleryThis en-suite double bedroom (180 cm bed) is the only bedroom on the first floor of the mas.
It enjoys expansive views over the lower gardens and the Alpilles mountain range beyond.
All bedrooms are air-conditioned. -
Close GalleryThe en-suite bathroom with Italian shower to the King-size bedroom on the first floor, shown previously. The windows frame superlative views all around. -
Close GalleryThe only bedroom on the first floor, this spacious room has a 180 cm bed, its own dressing room and a shower room next door. -
Close GalleryThe en-suite shower room to the double bedroom pictured above. -
Close GalleryThe third bedroom in the bastide, slightly more isolated from the communal rooms and opening out, through large cast iron French windows, into the conservatory which can act as an internal passage between the two properties. -
Close GalleryThe smaller of the two properties, the grange is the surrounded by formal gardens with the wonderful water features. -
Close GalleryLeading out from the grange's sitting area, this is one of the ideal places to relax in mottled shade. -
Close GalleryLooking back over the infinity pool to the Grange and the formal garden. -
Close GalleryThe sitting area of the grange. Equipped with a flat screen TV and a surround sound movie system, this is an ideal place for the younger members of the group to hang out and enjoy themselves, leaving the parents to enjoy a more 'sophisticated' evening! -
Close GalleryThe grange has dining and living areas as well as a kitchen; chefs often use both kitchens when they are working at the villa. Depending on which pool you decide to use and which terrace you choose to relax on, this kitchen is an excellent addition to the main kitchen in the bastide. -
