The villa
Manoir et Pavillon rises like a Provençal dream - a master - crafted country retreat where tradition meets uncompromising quality. At its heart, a grand manor house, lovingly finished by its master carpenter owner, radiates understated elegance, while just across the courtyard, the stunning poolside pavilion offers a contemporary space designed for relaxed living and long afternoons beside the swimming pool.
The main house is both welcoming and refined, with generous interiors, air - conditioned bedrooms and hand - crafted woodwork throughout. Each of the six en - suite bedrooms offers cool comfort even at the height of summer, while the stylish living and dining area opens to a leafy front courtyard with flowers.
Across the garden, the separate Pavillon impresses with soaring beamed ceilings and seamless flow from the kitchen to the lounge to the shaded dining terrace. Here, days unfold easily - imagine poolside lunches sizzling from the plancha, games of billiards or table football in the games room or simply lounging by the 10 - metre pool, pausing only to cool off or sip something chilled from the bar. A traditional court invites boules matches at golden hour, and when the sun dips, the atmosphere turns mellow beneath the stars.
