Arriving here is like stepping into a living, breathing landscape painting. Deep in the Luberon, France, lavender fields line the country roads and colour them violet.
The green of an immense nature reserve and its hillsides teeming with pines and olive trees meets the red of the cherries which mark the start of summer in the orchards.
These luscious fruits are harvested by the basket-load, and turned into delicious pies and rich preserves. The towering oak trees create playful shadows wherever you look, and birdsong emerges in between the rustling leaves.
Vineyards are stretching to one side and orchards in the other. In the distance, we catch a glimpse of the roofs of Gordes, perched high up in the hills, inviting us to visit its narrow, cobbled streets, its mythical bories and some of the best restaurants Luberon has to offer.
The smell of goats' cheese mingles with the scent of wisteria into an unmistakeable, breathtaking Provence aroma. Dappled with sunlight, the dry stone is adorned with ivy and vines, providing shelter for the playful local lizards.
In the afternoon, explore the unique landscape of the Luberon mountains, then cool off on a Luberon kayak ride in the transparent water of the Sorgue river or discover the gorges of Luberon.
Upon returning to your luxury villa rental in Luberon, settle down to lounge on the terrace with a glass of fine Luberon wine from the best bottle of the Cave de Luberon.
The next day, unwind in a top spa in Luberon, or stay in and relax in your steamy sauna, before going for a refreshing swim in the crystal clear pool.
And later, when the family gathers together at the big dinner table, toast to new memories and dig into the delicious food freshly prepared by our private chef, all with the purest, local ingredients.
