Provence Paradise

 

Nestled in the charming village of Paradou, between Fontvieille and Maussane-les-Alpilles, Provence Paradise is a house steeped in history, dating back to the XVII century. Originally the village’s school and town hall, the house has been transformed into a luxurious retreat, offering a modern take on Provençal living. Spanning 900 sq.m. and set within an 8,000 sq.m. garden, the estate stands out in the region.

A towering 300-year-old plane tree presides over the property, a living testament to the house’s rich past. Today, the quiet serenity of the large park replaces the playful sounds of the village’s bygone school days. The impressive facade, with its grand arches and stone details, speaks to the craftsmanship of an earlier era. Yet, the home is a perfect blend of old and new – its infinity pool and gardens offer a cooling respite under the warm Provençal sun.

 

A Haven of Well-Being

The design, courtesy of renowned architects, showcases this idyllic escape. The 19-meter infinity pool seamlessly connects the home to its expansive gardens, where century-old olive trees provide plenty of shade. As the sun sets, the warm glow transforms the stone exterior and gardens, offering an enchanting backdrop for an evening of relaxation.

Inside, two spacious living rooms, with plush sky-blue sofas and a grand stone fireplace, create a cosy atmosphere for cooler nights. For culinary enthusiasts, Provence Paradise boasts professional-grade kitchens, including a summer kitchen perfect for using fresh produce from the estate’s vegetable garden. Dining here is a communal affair, encouraging guests to gather with friends and family.

The focus on well-being extends to a range of amenities, including a spa, massage services, fitness coaching, and on-site sports activities like tennis and pétanque. Guests can also enjoy customised cultural outings designed by local experts, ensuring a truly personalised experience.

 

 

Bistro du Paradou

And do not forget Bistrot du Paradou, located in the sleepy hamlet of Paradou. It is the sort of place every serious food lover dreams to discover in France. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel like you may have read about in a Marcel Pagnol book or perhaps a vintage Michelin guide mentioning a stately grand-mère cooking unpretentious rustic fare for weary travellers.

Provence Paradise

 

The interior decor of Provence Paradise masterfully combines traditional materials with contemporary comforts, resulting in spaces that feel both luxurious and unique. Exposed beams and antique doors are complemented by Mediterranean-inspired blown glass light fixtures, natural jute rugs, and handmade furniture crafted from resin and walnut.

 

Elegant details abound, from artisanal ceramic lamps to raffia lampshades adorned with golden fringes. The decor evokes a sense of rustic sophistication, with printed and embroidered curtains resembling delicate vines climbing raw silk backgrounds. Every element contributes to a harmonious blend of the old and the new, creating an inspiring and elegant ambience.

 

Luxurious Bedrooms & Bathrooms

Provence Paradise can comfortably accommodate up to 14 guests in its seven air-conditioned bedrooms and suites, each with its own en-suite bathroom, featuring limestone walk-in showers and spacious dressing rooms. King-size beds, dark parquet floors, and soothing natural materials provide a tranquil setting, while thoughtful details like a copper clawfoot bathtub recall the elegance of a bygone era. Every room offers a unique charm, ensuring that guests experience the ultimate in comfort and relaxation.

Staying at Provence Paradise is a rare privilege – an opportunity to indulge in the true French Art of Living in the heart of authentic Provence. Whether with family or friends, this remarkable estate promises an unforgettable stay amidst history, luxury, and the beauty of the Provençal countryside.
