Style Notes

Traditional Provencal luxe. This 19th century residence has been carefully restored to preserve its traditional features whilst incorporating elegant modern touches. Striking original windows, shutters, fireplaces and decorative tiling sit perfectly beside stylish contemporary furnishings and floor to ceiling glass doors to present an ultra-stylish and light-filled vacation home. A calming gray and beige palette combines with warm exposed stone walls to offer a serene backdrop throughout, uplifted by beautifully decorative floor tiles, geometric wallpapers and colorful textiles and artworks. Outside, terracotta tiling and the residence’s pretty stone clad, wooden-shuttered exterior is perfectly complimented by smartly decked terraces and a sleek pool and sun deck offering the perfect relaxation spot. We love the fabulous roll top bath in the primary bedroom and the fun alfresco bar with its chic pendant lighting and comfy sofas providing the perfect ingredients for a fun family gathering.

I'm Jennifer. The only thing better than living in London is using it as base to travel far and wide with family and friends! We've owned a home in Provence since 2021 and we've been thoroughly enjoying spending magical holiday time there. It's our pleasure to offer it for holiday lettings so you can share the Provencal magic.....

Cabannes, Provence

Vineyards, markets and village life

This small village in the Alpilles, 15 minutes southeast of Avignon, offers a traditional slice of Provence: men playing boules in the town square, shopkeepers chatting at the weekly farmer’s market and views of cypress trees and vineyards as far as the eye can see. In the west of Provence it is an easy drive from Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, Aix-en-Provence and Saint-Remy-de-Provence, Arles and the Camargue, for a full flavor of the region.
