La Bastide de la LoubeFrance, Provence

Set high up on the hillside and tucked away at the end of a private road, La Bastide de la Loube is a magnificent French residence which sleeps up to 20 people. Located in the Château de l’Escarelle wine estate, this 10,000 square foot property is surrounded by vineyards, historical sites and peaceful walks through lush greenery and rolling hills. A five-minute stroll from the villa takes you to L'Hostellerie de l'Abbaye de la Celle – a 13th century Benedictine convent steeped in history. The 17th century converted prioress's house and the old quarters of Brignoles town are also well worth a visit.

This impressive villa is ideal for large family escapes, catering perfectly to children with a dormitory that sleeps up to six in three bunk beds. Seven double bedrooms accommodate the additional guests with an exceptionally capacious master suite measuring 60 square metres. The expansive grounds dotted with mature trees act as fantastic hiding places and climbing frames for younger visitors, while a private hammam is available for the grown-ups to relax in. A well-equipped gym, games room, billiards table and 17-metre swimming pool are also found at the villa. The living and dining areas are spacious, comfortable and well designed for family gatherings.

Sit back and let your worries drift away as you admire the fantastic surroundings and views that La Bastide de la Loube offers. Enjoy countryside ambles and discover nearby villages peppered with ancient buildings. After a day exploring the local area, unwind in the warming hammam before settling down to sample local cuisine with your loved ones on the outdoor dining terrace to the soothing sound of the wind rustling through the trees. Retire to the comfort of your bedroom for a good night's rest before the dawn sunlight wakes you early for a whole new day spent discovering the beauty of Provence.
