Its stately facade, marked by grand arches and intricate stonework, reflects the craftsmanship of a bygone era.
The estate’s transformation is a testament to the vision of renowned architects who have crafted a sanctuary where ‘old-world’ charm meets contemporary luxury.

Les Alpilles: Provence’s Enchanting Landscape
Beyond the gates of Provence Paradise, a magical world unfolds. Tucked in the heart of Provence lies Les Alpilles, a rugged chain of limestone mountains that exude timeless allure. The jagged peaks rise dramatically from a landscape dotted with olive groves and vineyards, creating a scene straight out of a storybook. Here, life unfolds at a gentler pace, inviting visitors to slow down and savour each moment.
This is Van Gogh country - a place that captivated the famous artist, inspiring some of his most iconic works. Strolling through the ancient streets of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where Van Gogh once lived, it’s easy to understand the region’s pull on his creativity. The villages nestled within Les Alpilles are equally captivating. Les Baux-de-Provence, perched high on a rocky outcrop, offers breathtaking vistas of the surrounding countryside. Its cobbled streets wind past art galleries, cozy bistros, and the ruins of a medieval castle that still whispers tales of knights and troubadours. Meanwhile, the quieter village of Eygalières offers a more tranquil experience. Time seems to slow down here, measured by the soft chime of church bells and the hum of local markets offering fresh figs, tapenades, and creamy goat cheeses.
For those who seek adventure, Les Alpilles delivers in abundance. Miles of hiking trails snake through the region, offering stunning panoramic views of vineyards, almond trees, and olive orchards. After a day of exploration, the region’s wines- particularly the crisp whites and bold reds of the Vallée des Baux-are the perfect reward. Yet perhaps the true magic of Les Alpilles lies in its ability to help visitors pause and appreciate life’s simple pleasures. Whether it’s basking in the dappled sunlight filtering through centuries-old olive trees or savouring the rich flavours of a Provençal dish, this is a place where history, art, and nature converge harmoniously.
