Description

Some holidays are more than a break from the everyday; they’re like stepping into another world. L’Étoile des Baux is one of those luxury holiday villas. Built directly into the rock, with stone protruding beautifully into several of the rooms, this Provençal mas (traditional farmhouse) has a dream-like quality that is utterly relaxing and so magical you’ll occasionally wonder if you dreamt it all…

Set in the Alpilles, in the middle of the stunning village of Les Baux-de-Provence, you’d be forgiven for never wanting to leave the four walls of the villa. That said, the villa’s location makes it the perfect base for exploring this beautiful part of the world, wandering through fragrant, colourful markets, walking alongside verdant fields and exploring some of the most beautiful villages in the world.

But the villa itself is what brings people back again and again. It’s impossible not to relax here, with the stunning views and nature wherever you look, even in the very walls of this property. The juxtaposition of thousands-of-years-old stone and bright, modern furniture gives L’Étoile des Baux a unique character. Each of the eight bedrooms is individually designed to give the occupant a light and airy bolthole to call their own. The rest of the indoor spaces are pared back, shady and offer acres of space in which to gather, relax alone, party and rest. As well as the living and dining areas and two kitchens, the property also has a bar, library, gym, TV room and epicerie, as well as two wine cellars.

The outdoor space where the real magic happens. An alfresco living and dining area in the property’s gardens allow you to live a true outdoor lifestyle here. The swimming pool, adjacent, is spectacular, backed by craggy rocks and surrounded by lush greenery and the sound of cicadas singing; the perfect spot in which to spend a hot afternoon. There’s also an outdoor games space with table football and table tennis, and, the jewel in this property’s crown: the open air theatre and cinema – because watching any film or play is so much more magical under the stars.

Whatever you want from your stay at this luxury villa, your dedicated villa manager is on hand to make it a reality.
