General Description
Nestled in a peaceful corner of Provence, just a short walk from the charming village of Paradou, this property is an idyllic escape in the heart of the Alpilles. This charming old farmhouse, recently renovated, offers the perfect blend of rustic character and modern comfort.
Step inside, and immediately feel at home in the spacious living areas, where contemporary furnishings sit alongside the farmhouse’s original stonework, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The large living room, with its soft velvet sofas and TV, is the ideal spot for a relaxed evening. Adjacent to this is the fully equipped kitchen, which has everything needed for preparing delightful meals, whether a casual breakfast or a leisurely family dinner.
The four comfortable bedrooms each offer a serene retreat, with two master suites that have their own private bathrooms. The decor is simple yet tasteful, and each room is spacious, ensuring everyone has plenty of room to unwind. There are also two other bedrooms, perfect for families or friends, with a shared shower room just down the hall. Every corner of the house speaks to thoughtful restoration and tasteful design, making it a welcoming haven.
Venture outside, and you are greeted by a beautiful garden full of Mediterranean plants – lavender, oleander, and cypress trees line the space, while the pretty courtyard and stone-edged pool offer a tranquil place to relax. The south-facing terrace is a perfect suntrap, sheltered from the Mistral winds, making it ideal for lazy afternoons or evening meals with family and friends. A charming Provençal pergola offers shade during the hot summer months, and the pool is perfect for cooling off on warm days. Whether enjoying a barbecue or lounging by the pool, the outdoor space is as much a highlight as the interiors.
With its idyllic setting, just a short stroll from Paradou and close to the stunning hills for hiking, it truly feels like a holiday home. It's an ideal spot to explore the surrounding vineyards, olive groves, and picturesque villages, making it a perfect base for discovering the beauty of Provence.
