Beautiful domaine with 8 gites for sale in Les Alpilles

Perched on a hill-side in the Alpilles,  the  property is  surrounded by  10 hectares  of estate dominated by a wooded peak ( aiguille ).

The rambling old Provençal farmhouse has been transformed by its owners into 8 self-contained apartments, each thoughtfully designed and furnished with stylish simplicity (each offering between 1 and 2 ½  bedroom accommodation), each with its own entry and shady terrace.  Balconies and terraces, fitted kitchens and bathrooms and full central heating ensure all-year-round privacy and comfort. Housekeeper's accommodation.

Plentiful herbs have been planted in the surrounding garden, and an inviting pool awaits you in the heat of summer.

The swimming-pool, 15 X 5 metres, is fenced for security, and has a large stone terrace with sun loungers.

It is not necessary to venture off the estate to enjoy a quiet ramble along the old Via Aurelia - which once stretched from Rome to Arles - or a climb to the top of the  Aiguille  to explore  the remains  of a Roman lookout post hidden among the trees.

As the seasons change in the Alpilles, February's glorious  almond blossom is soon followed  by carpets  of wild  flowers.  Then, as the heat  turns up, the blue iris and wisteria of May and June give way to the brightly coloured flowers of high  summer.  In the soft warmth of autumn the vineyards and olive groves are alive with activity as attention turns to the harvest.  All through the year the cool breezes of the Alpilles (and the occasional fierce mistral ! ) temper the heat while, away from it all, you can relax and enjoy the famous pink sunsets of Provence in peace.
 
All this, and much more, is what the Domaine offers the discerning
seeking the leisurely  pleasures of Provence.
