Restored Provençal Farmhouse, Eygalières, France

Nestled between the Alpilles and olive groves, this secluded retreat invites you to reconnect with family and friends as the seasons gently unfold. Thoughtfully restored, the former farmhouse pairs the timeless character of old stone with the quiet sophistication of contemporary comfort.

Flowing fountains, a flourishing vegetable garden, free-roaming animals, and a landscape lovingly shaped by hand create an atmosphere of effortless beauty and authenticity. At the heart of the home, the expansive cathedral-style lounge is filled with natural light, a warm and welcoming space for quiet reading, intimate conversation or evenings spent beside the fire. Just beyond, an open wine cellar awaits, ready to be enjoyed and shared.

The kitchen is the lively heart of the home, centred around a magnificent solid wood table where mornings begin slowly and evenings linger long into the night. With its retro-inspired charm, the space combines characterful furnishings with professional-grade appliances, equally suited to passionate home cooks or private chefs creating memorable meals. A separate scullery allows for seamless breakfasts, coffee breaks and effortless entertaining throughout the day.

Outdoors, the summer kitchen becomes the centre of life in warmer months. Long shaded lunches give way to candlelit dinners beneath the stars, surrounded by fountains, fragrant gardens and the gentle rhythm of Provence.

The gardens unfold as a natural extension of the house, designed in perfect harmony with the surrounding landscape and the changing seasons. Conceived by Dominique Lafourcade and brought to life by Benjamin Moricelly, they blend Mediterranean refinement with a poetic sense of simplicity.

Step outside and you are greeted by the sound of flowing fountains, the scent of aromatic herbs and the quiet presence of donkeys, birds and goats roaming freely through the grounds. Near the house, the flourishing vegetable garden overflows with seasonal produce and flowers. Guests are invited to pick their own ingredients or seek guidance from Pierre, the devoted caretaker of the gardens. Nearby, the henhouse remains a favourite for both children and adults alike.

Further into the grounds, a fire labyrinth winds through rich purple foliage before opening onto a raised platform with sweeping views across the Alpilles, rose-covered trellises and fields of lavender.

The 17-metre swimming pool, framed by loungers and shaded seating areas, offers a peaceful place to bask in the sunlight, enjoy a quiet coffee or drift into an afternoon siesta. Close by, a gym overlooking the Alpilles and a hammam with adjoining shower room create a private wellness retreat.

The tennis court, surrounded by centuries-old olive trees, blends effortlessly into the landscape, while beneath the medlar trees, spontaneous games of boules unfold under the watchful gaze of donkeys and goats.

Each bedroom is generously proportioned, featuring king-size beds, en-suite bathrooms and interiors that balance understated elegance with warmth and charm. One bedroom has been thoughtfully designed for guests with reduced mobility.

Upstairs, a children’s dormitory includes five beds, a cosy sitting area, smart storage and a charming bathroom. Along the walkway, a playful miniature model of the estate and its animal residents is paired with illustrated books. Whether collecting eggs from the henhouse, wandering through the gardens or listening to the fountains, children are encouraged to discover, observe and learn naturally.
