Villa Pierre Blanche is a refined countryside retreat where timeless character meets contemporary design. Cradled by the gentle landscapes of Fontvieille and framed by views towards the iconic Montmajour Abbey, this holiday villa in Provence is an invitation to unwind, recharge and savour the rhythms of southern France.
Inside, Villa Pierre Blanche is thoughtfully arranged for up to ten guests across five beautifully appointed bedrooms. Daylight spills through tall French windows into a high-ceilinged living room, flowing seamlessly into a stylish dining space and fully equipped kitchen. Every corner exudes the charm of a traditional Provençal mas with stone walls and exposed beams balanced with modern conveniences such as air-conditioning that ensure effortless living. Double bedrooms exude an air of simplicity alongside understated elegance whilst there are four gorgeous bathrooms (three of them en suite or private).
Step outside, and the scene is quintessential Provence: a characterful terrace for long lunches and a beautiful pool where time slips by in the rustle of shady trees. Al-fresco dining comes naturally here - grilled market fare accompanied by local rosé.
Perfectly placed, this semi-detached villa is just minutes from the charming village of Fontvieille and the historic town of Arles. Wander cobbled streets, visit bustling markets, or follow Van Gogh’s footsteps through sunlit fields. Meanwhile, the nearby landscapes of Les Alpilles offer endless trails for walkers and cyclists, while Les Baux-de-Provence promises spectacular views and cultural treasures.
Whether you're gathering with loved ones or simply seeking space to breathe, Villa Pierre Blanche offers a slice of Provençal life that feels both grounded and extraordinary.
Villa Pierre Blanche is a semi-detached dwelling in a rural setting in Provence, close to both Fontvieille and Arles. Pass farmland, waterways and typical scenery of the region as you explore close to the iconic Abbaye de Montmajour, then uncover the beauty of Le Parc Naturel Régional des Alpilles a little further afield.
Fontvieille (5km) is a charming Provençal village that enchants with its timeless appeal and authenticity. This delightful haven is renowned for its stone-built homes, sun-dappled squares, and the legacy of Alphonse Daudet, whose historic windmill still stands watch over the countryside. From Fontvieille’s tranquil heart, the riches of Provence unfold in every direction, promising unforgettable days of exploration and indulgence.
Just beyond the village lies the majestic natural park of Les Alpilles, a striking landscape of rugged limestone peaks, pine forests and silvery olive groves. This protected area offers glorious hiking trails, hidden chapels, and panoramic views that seem plucked from a painting. Gems such as Paradou (11km), Maussane-les-Alpilles (13km) and Les Baux-de-Provence (13.5km) are all within a short drive.
A little further afield is Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (20km), a town steeped in Roman history and artistic legacy, famously inspiring Van Gogh during his stay at the Monastery of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole. Browse its chic boutiques, savour seasonal cuisine at open-air bistros, or meander through its vibrant weekly market on a Wednesday morning.
To the south, Arles (7.5km) beckons with its Roman amphitheatre, UNESCO-listed monuments, and artistic flair. This atmospheric town blends ancient heritage with a thriving contemporary arts scene, making it a must-visit for culture lovers. Continue further and you’ll encounter the untamed beauty of the Camargue, a unique region of marshes and salt flats dotted with wild white horses, pink flamingos, and traditional manades where black bulls are still herded.
For those drawn to history and architectural marvels, a visit to the Pont du Gard (35km) is simply unmissable. This awe-inspiring Roman aqueduct stands as a testament to ancient ingenuity, spanning the Gardon River with dramatic grace. Close by, the elegant town of Uzès (51km) invites with its medieval lanes, gastronomic restaurant and artisan shops, while Nîmes (42km), known as the “French Rome,” offers remarkably preserved Roman sites including the Arena and the Maison Carrée.
