What is a luxury country house in Provence?

The Provençal bastide is a distinctive rural residence—generally isolated on its grounds, built of blond limestone, with large, generously proportioned rooms and an intimate connection to the Mediterranean landscape. Unlike the mas, which is often more modest and agricultural, the bastide is a stately home—with terraces, terraced gardens, olive groves, orchards, and sometimes vineyards.

The most prestigious country houses are located primarily in the Luberon, the Alpilles, the Aix region, the Var hinterland, and the highlands of the Alpes-Maritimes. These are the most sought-after character properties in the South of France for international clients—British, American, and Northern European—who are looking for an authentic Provençal lifestyle away from the tourist crowds.
