Vacation rentals in Les Baux-de-Provence, France with a pool

A simply stunning and unique place in one of Provence’s most incredible regions, Les Rochers will astound guests with its natural beauty and history. Set a stone’s throw from the heart of one of France’s Plus Beaux Villages, Les Baux de Provence, you are surrounded by olive groves and vineyards so typical of the enchanting Les Alpilles National Park. Built into the rocks of Les Baux, this partially caved home dates back to the Roman times and has been beautifully restored to give it a modern yet characteristic ambience. Contemporary art and designer furniture perfectly complement exposed stone walls, wood beamed ceilings and open fireplaces. The impressive master bedroom, with its own terrace and fireplace, features a Roman inspired bathroom whilst there are two pretty en-suite doubles downstairs by the pool. Here you’ll also find a separate and simpler two-bedroom guest-house which is included in the 10-person rate (a maximum of 8 adults can stay at Les Rochers plus two further children). The open-plan living space and beautiful kitchen lead out to a grand upper terrace where you can dine or lounge together, enjoying Provençal wine and gazing out at the panoramic views surrounding you. Wander down the stone steps to reach the dazzling swimming pool where long afternoons can be spent by the summer kitchen preparing local food on the plancha and dining in the shade around a table carved from local stone. Afterwards take a dip in the curved infinity pool staring out to the spectacular scenery. Keen walkers can wander up the hill to Les Baux or it’s just a three-minute drive; here you can explore the pretty squares and discover the fortified-château before finding a lovely restaurant for lunch or follow one of the many walking trails around the village and beyond. Drive to nearby Mausanne to pick up some delights from the local bakeries, deli, butchers and fish-mongers (also an oyster wine bar!) and sample some of the amazing olive oil produced in the village. You’ll also find some brilliant restaurants here from charming bistros and pizzerias to Michelin starred establishments. You are of course in the heart of the formidable Alpilles National Park with idyllic villages such as St-Rémy and Eygalières plus Van Gogh’s precious Arles so near.

Charming and stylish Maison Muscadet has an enviable location in the heart of a pretty village in Les Alpilles. This authentic village house has been completely renovated but has cleverly retained its character with its wooden beams, exposed stone walls and colourful shutters. It now benefits from an elegantly furnished interior, air-conditioning, a modern well equipped open plan kitchen and dining area, two comfortable en suite double bedrooms and a third bedroom with a private bathroom. There is office space in the entrance hall and a large bright living room which has access to the courtyard. Not many of the local village houses have outside space so it’s very special to have this area for relaxing with a cup of coffee, al-fresco dining and most importantly taking a cooling dip in the delightful pool. It is a short walk from Maison Muscadet to the heart of the village where you will find a good selection of shops, cafés and restaurants as well as the weekly market. Surrounded by swathes of olive groves, this is the perfect place to try out some excellent local olive oil on a piece of fresh baguette or a slice of goat’s cheese. Les Alpilles is the home of small mountains, olive groves, vineyards and forests, a great place for family activities such as rock climbing, horse riding, hiking and mountain biking. The special quality of light, the sunflowers and iconic cypress trees were an inspiration to artist Vincent Van Gogh who lived in nearby Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, a vibrant market town well worth a visit and still an inspiration for its resident artists. Not far from Saint-Rémy is medieval Les Baux-de-Provence, one of France’s several Plus Beaux Villages in this area, perched on a plateau with fantastic views from the top. Indeed, Maison Muscadet is an excellent location for a variety of great day trips, maybe starting with the historic cities of Avignon and Arles, both on the magnificent River Rhone. Further afield are the wonders and wilderness of the Camargue with its pink flamingos, white horses, black bulls, lagoons and sandy beaches.

Don’t go home without sampling some of the region’s fine olive oil on a piece of fresh baguette.

It is the home of small scrub covered mountains, olive groves, pine and oak forests and is a great place for family activities such as rock climbing, horse riding, hiking and mountain biking. The special quality of light, sunflowers and famous cypress trees were an inspiration to artist Vincent Van Gogh who lived in nearby Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (10km), a vibrant market town well worth a visit and still an inspiration for its resident artists. Not far from Saint-Rémy is medieval Les Baux-de-Provence, one of France’s several plus beaux villages in this area, perched on a hilltop with views towards Arles, the Camargue and the small mountain range of Les Alpilles. Don’t miss the tiny and delightful village of Paradou (2km) which lies at the foot of the mountains, representing Provence in miniature and home to an excellent bistro. Head northwards to the lively city of Avignon (38km) with its nursery rhyme bridge and Pope’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is a shorter drive westwards towards Arles (18km), renowned for its fine Roman remains – it’s magic to dine at a restaurant terrace beneath the plane trees in Place du Forum where Van Gogh once painted “Café Terrace at Night”.   Arles is a stepping stone to the magnificent Camargue at the Rhône delta with wild white horses, black bulls, pink flamingos, lagoons and red salt-pans reaching out towards the Mediterranean.  There are so many exciting opportunities here including jeep tours, horse-riding, walking, quad biking and even a visit to one of its sandy beaches.
