Beautifully Restored 16th Century Bastide in Provence
This beautifully restored 16th century bastide is located in the Provencal town of Saumane De Vaucluse and offers stunning views over the Luberon National Park and the French Alps.
The stunning property has an interesting history: in the 17th century, the property was a tile making factory on the estate belonging to the de Sade family; by the 18th century, was used as a Benedictine Priory, and in the 19th century, the estate was converted into agricultural use as a working silkworm farm.
Today, the charming bastide property is a luxury retreat in the heart of Provence. The turnkey property is a popular luxury vacation rental that sleeps up to 18, starting at €19.5K a week.
Nestled in a 40 acre park, the Provencal estate features ornamental gardens with fountains, ancient trees and olive groves, and a stunning cypress-lined drive that is especially Instagram worthy.
Savour la vie Provencal from the property’s dreamy outdoor spaces, featuring an 82 foot infinity pool with pool house, a tennis court, and summer lounge.
The luxury living spaces are divided between the main bastide and a 2-bedroom guest house, offering a total of 9 bedrooms across the property.
Authentic Provencal details add significant charm, seen in the ornate doors, exposed beams, and old terracotta and stone-cut floors.
Restored to a high standard with modern luxuries, this French country home is truly exceptional.
