Villa Annabelle, Luberon, Provence. Step out of time entirely when you book a holiday at the truly enchanting Villa Annabelle. Looking out at the Luberon area of Provence, the four-bedroom property is a masterwork of garden and landscaping, architecture and design. Tucked into six private hectares of land, it is surrounded by stunning Mediterranean gardens, olive groves, vineyards and charming paths that lead to nearby villages, including the historic Oppede-le-vieux preserved from the Middle Ages.

Designed as an updated take on a farmhouse, it is a sprawling and beautiful property that emphasizes comfort and scenery. There are views from almost everywhere and a generous array of indoor and outdoor living spaces. Rooftop terraces, the stone walls that surround the pool area and the various porticos and patios add up to one wonderful destination after another.

The interiors are equally appealing and decorated in a manner that is both rustic and contemporary. Visitors love the high ceilings with their ancient, hand hewn beams and the creamy palette that works so well with all of the wood and the stone. There is a large and nicely proportioned living room with fireplace, and this opens to one of the terraces. There is a smaller media room and separate office lounge. The lovely dining room also has a fireplace and the modern kitchen is a delight for novice cooks to chefs. It opens to the terraces and has a casual dining spot.

The bedrooms are spread out for optimal privacy and scenery and include three king suites with private baths and a double suite that is independent of the rest and has its own access and terrace.

With its wonderful setting close to villages and markets, its privacy and scenery and its excellent amenities, the Villa Annabelle is the ideal way to experience the joys of Provence.
