Nestled in the heart of Aureille, a peaceful commune in the Bouches-du-Rhône, Maison D'Ete is a beautiful French villa that immediately transports you to a slower, more relaxed way of life. As you arrive, you are greeted by the soft hum of nature—chirping birds, the gentle rustle of cotton trees, and the distant mountain views of the Alpilles and the charming Château du Village. The expansive grounds are framed by lavender, which lines the paths and gardens, guiding you through this serene oasis. It’s the perfect place to unwind and take in the natural beauty that surrounds you.
Stepping inside, the villa offers a warm, homely atmosphere with a seamless blend of traditional charm and modern comfort. The spacious living room is inviting, with comfy sofas arranged around a fireplace, where you can cosy up with a book or enjoy time with loved ones. The dining area, with its large table, feels like the heart of the home—ideal for family meals or evening gatherings. The architecture of the villa stands out, with original features like stone arches, exposed beams, and terracotta-tiled floors that speak to the building’s rich history. Each room is filled with natural light, thanks to large windows that open out to the terrace, gardens, and beyond, bringing the outside in and framing the stunning views. For those who love to cook, the fully equipped kitchen is a real treat, with a Lacanche range, American fridge, and even a wine cellar for stocking up on local delights.
Upstairs, the bedrooms are simple yet comfortable, each with its own ensuite bathroom and views over the surrounding countryside. You will feel instantly at ease in these peaceful rooms, a perfect retreat after a day of exploration or relaxation.
The outdoor space is equally inviting, with a large terrace perfect for al fresco dining, a private pool for cooling off in the summer, and a pool house for relaxing by the water’s edge. Whether you’re lounging in the shade of a cotton tree, enjoying a leisurely meal on the terrace, or swimming in the pool, Maison D'Ete offers the perfect setting for a memorable holiday with family or friends.
