What we like

Location: situated half way between the Luberon and Aix-en-Provence, this property is the perfect base from which to explore the region. Just 5km away from a charming village with a pretty Wednesday morning market, at Bastide des Costes you can enjoy a peaceful countryside retreat whilst remaining close to all the best attractions.
Independence: with two independent annexes, this holiday rental is ideal for a large family or group of friends who would prefer moments of privacy during their luxury holiday.
Games Room: on the lower ground floor, you will find a games room with table tennis, an exercise bike, table football, an elliptical bike and a rowing machine.

Things to note

Pool Security: the swimming pool is secured by an alarm, but children should be supervised when nearby.
Air Conditioning: although only five of the six bedrooms
 have air conditioning, this bastide is very cool in summer thanks to its thick walls.



Exterior

Located at the foot of pretty hills where you can walk or mountain-bike for hours surrounded by the calming scents of rosemary and thyme, this authentic bastide is also within an hour's drive of the pretty seaside town of Cassis, famous for its creeks, or the Camargue with its pink flamingos! The typically Provencal garden boasts a vast orchard, an olive grove, roughly 600 lavender plants.

Pool

This beautiful 12m x 6m swimming pool is perfectly situated 20m from the house, surrounded by its vast lawns. Enjoy a refreshing swim on a warm summer's day or recline in the shade of an olive tree whilst admiring the sweeping countryside views.

Perfect family location with plenty personal space

We had a perfect family holiday here for two weeks. The owners were very welcoming and keen that all would be right for us. Cleaning provided midway. The grounds are large and we had full access. The pool a delight and used constantly. Highly recommend this villa. Would love to be able to revisit.

Lovely Villa with a beautiful garden and great pool. Aircon in the bedrooms worked very well during the Canicule! Furnished to a high level with a very well equipped kitchen. All went very smoothly and interaction with the hosts was great!
