Rusticity, Reimagined

Provence, France

Our view

"La Mas Vermentino has a raw tactility that allows it to stand out from the crowded villa market in Provence. An old farmhouse, feel the weight of the house’s heritage within thick chunky walls, exposed stone, terracotta flooring and deep-set windows that frame idyllic Luberon views. Outside, rural bliss is captured through ancient oak and olive trees, an inviting pool and reimagined outbuildings that serve as dining spaces and outdoor kitchens."

Provençal Day Trips

Depending on the season you’ll likely want to spend a couple of days exploring and your on-hand concierge can tailor the day’s outing depending on your wishes. A classic stop may be to take in Provence’s famous lavender fields – stop for a photo and be immersed in its scents and sights. The towns of Gordes and Roussillon are worth spending time in. Gordes is known for its hilltop splendour, magnificent markets and intriguing castle; while Roussillon is characterised by its distinctive red cliffs and the famous ‘Ochre’ walk through rust-tinted pathways.
