If a picture is worth a thousand words, then what must a Van Gogh be worth? In this case, it's worth a visit. Immortalized in some of the artists most celebrated pieces, the Alpilles region of Provence is breath-taking. Lush greenery, starry nights, and rugged mountains will be your muse as you enjoy your French countryside vacation. With an abundance of space, this five-bedroom house is perfect for a special outdoor event. Although updated to the highest standards of modern luxury, Baux manages to keep its authentic old-world charm completely intact, creating a truly unique setting for your next Luxury Retreats vacation.

You'll love strolling through the lush gardens and furnished outdoor living areas that surround this ancient stone home. There's always a new place to enjoy your morning espresso and watch the sun come up. Upon arrival, shuttered windows, stone walls, and clay-tiled roofs immediately convey the key trademarks of Provencal architecture. Inside, exposed-wood beams, wood-burning fireplaces, and elegant designer furniture continue the luxurious French style. Thoughtful decoration and attention to detail are perhaps Baux's most important features, as a perfect blend of warmth, sophistication, and class is achieved throughout its picturesque estate.

Inside, there's formal dining for ten. Outside, there's an alfresco dining set on the terrace, sheltered by gorgeous tree-top foliage, as well as a refreshing swimming pool just beyond. Sleeping arrangements are split between the main house, with three en-suite bedrooms, and the guest cottage, with two more en-suite bedrooms.

Les Baux de Provence is a small commune set amongst the rocky Alpilles Mountains. At its peak, a ruined castle looks over the ancient village below. Although less than five-hundred people live in the commune, it's quite popular among tourists, and has been named one of the "Most Beautiful Villages in France." It's just two-kilometers from home. Travel a few minutes further, and you can visit St. Remy de Provence, rich with historical sites, museums, art galleries, cafes, and fine French cuisine.
