Maison Des Cypres - Vier Schlafzimmer Villa, Schläft 6

Set just outside one of the prettiest villages in Provence, with beautiful views of Les Alpilles Mountains, Maison des Cypres is a chic and contemporary home full of character and charm. The wonderful gardens and private swimming pool make this a brilliant place to relax in the picturesque surroundings, just a short stroll (along country lanes) from the heart of idyllic Eygalières.

The owners have renovated this charming village house with the perfect fusion of modern design and period pieces. The open-plan living and dining space is impressive with doors opening out to the magnificent terraces whilst the cosy kitchen is full of light. Four pretty double bedrooms over the two floors, each with their own neat bathroom, make this an ideal home for a small group of friends wanting to experience the real Provence.

Outside there is a wonderful al-fresco dining terrace for long leisurely lunches shaded from the summer sun or feasts with good local wine under the starry sky. Chat with friends in the outdoor lounge under the shade of the pergola or head to the dazzling swimming pool to cool off. A magnificent plane tree by the swimming pool provides a cool spot for relaxing or bathing in the sun on the glorious lawn.

You are just a short walk down country lanes from the heart of one of the prettiest spots in Provence, Eygalières, a small hill-top village, with winding lanes and authentic charm in the beautiful Les Alpilles Natural Park. It is no surprise that many A-list celebrities have bought villas here to escape the paparazzi elsewhere.

You are of course in the heart of this formidable area of vineyards, idyllic villages, world-renowned towns and summer landscapes of sunflowers and lavender both in Les Alpilles and beyond. St-Rémy, Les Baux-de-Provence and Avignon are all within easy reach as well as Van Gogh’s beloved Arles and the mesmerising Luberon, which can easily be visited in a day. Whether exploring the local markets, cycling through lavender fields or pony trekking through the magnificent countryside, this region is sure to offer memorable activities for all ages.

Return to your holiday home and relax on the terrace for panoramic views of the village and mountains; this really is the ideal location to discover this idyllic part of Provence.

Location:

This stunning house with village and mountain views is just a short walk from Eygalières, one of the prettiest spots in Provence.

Eygalières (approx. 700m) is a small hill-top village with winding lanes, lovely landscapes and an authentic charm, in beautiful Les Alpilles Natural Park. It is no surprise that many A-list celebrities have bought villas here to escape the paparazzi elsewhere. There is a village church, a bakery, butchers, a handful of restaurants and cafes-bars plus a wonderful Provençal market on a Friday morning.

You are of course in the heart of this formidable area of vineyards, idyllic villages, world-renowned towns, and summer landscapes of sunflowers both in Les Alpilles National Park and beyond. Nearby St-Rémy is well known for being popular with artists, many live in the area and display or sell their works of art in the village’s art galleries. The town is also famous for its many restaurants, from down to earth bistros found on pretty narrow streets to Michelin starred establishments and food lovers shouldn’t miss the market on a Wednesday morning!

Les Baux-de-Provence, one of France’s acclaimed ‘plus beaux villages’ and Van Gogh’s precious Arles are also both within easy reach. Gordes is yet another one of the beautiful villages worth visiting with stunning architecture, set in the outstanding Luberon region, surrounded by lavender fields in the summer months.

Don’t miss the lively city of Avignon during your stay. Explore the winding medieval streets, experience further excellent dining opportunities and visit two UNESCO world heritage sites, the Pope’s Palace and Saint Benezet Bridge. The covered market offers all sorts of delights or head to the weekend farmers, flower and flea markets for wonderful local produce and a bargain or two.

Those looking for activity have so much on their doorstep. There’s tennis nearby and both horse-riding and golf are within a short drive. Both the immediate and wider area are a walkers and cyclists paradise with stunning countryside and landscapes, there are many routes available to follow. Older children will love kayaking in the Sorgue and there are plenty of other family friendly activities throughout the region from model railways, open castles to trekking across the tree tops and visiting a zoo.
