The Harmonious Melody

The Harmonious Melody: Provence-Alps-French Riviera

Renovated with a luxurious touch, this traditional Provence home with an office, gym, tennis court and private swimming pool combines rustic homeliness with more high-spec elements. Despite the interior beauty, it struggles to rival the beautiful views on show from the terrace seating or the two-hectare garden that's perfectly maintained – and will undoubtedly be a joy for the kids to explore. There's also an annexed suite here that offers two guests extra privacy. Throw in housekeeping, pre-stocked fridges, daily bakery deliveries and a location that's only a stone's throw from Saint-Rémy, and you can see why we cherry-picked this home for our French collection.

Home truths:
*Speak to your host about fridge fills, housekeeping and daily bakery and newspaper deliveries – it's included in your stay. You'll also find toiletries and a welcome hamper here to get you started.
*We suggest hiring a car for ease – there's parking space for up to four cars here.
*This home is spread over two floors, with no internal lift, but there’s a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom here for those with reduced mobility. Another bedroom can be found in the annexe separate from the main villa.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised.
*There's a dedicated office space here. If you need to catch up on work during your stay, your host can provide a printer, PC, and more.
