A small grouping of cottages housing some wonderful suites and double bedrooms surround a garden with olive trees.

The reason to stay at Le Hameau des Baux is all about a slower, more relaxed kind of holiday. Of course you could take one of the bicycles and pedal round the lanes but equally, the swimming pool bordered with lavender, those beautifully decorated rooms, the gardens with ample space to read a book – there’s really no need to push things. Let time stop and soak up a little of the slower, southern magic.

Nestled underneath the Alpilles – the final petering out of the Luberon mountains – the landscape here is a charming, quirky blend of limestone crags and hollows leading down to the plain surrounding Le Hameau des Baux. Here the groves of Mediterranean olive and almond trees recall the heat-hazed shimmers of a van Gogh painting. Protected by the government, this quieter, more sensual corner or France is not just wonderful for the beauty of the landscape but also for its wonderful villages and towns such as Saint Rémy and Les Baux.

Even as we enter into the rooms, the peace continues with beautifully done interiors – there is a rustic grace here with creams, pale blues and deeper reds set off by the wooden beams and giving a natural atmosphere that is just right – comfort, style and charm in the right proportions. A tennis court, swimming pool, gardens that are made to relax in, Le Hameau des Baux mixes beauty with everything you need to get away from it all and forget, surrounded by some of the most sensual and charming scenery.
