Just over a mile from Mas des Sorgues is the exquisite town of L'Isle Sur La Sorgue. Colloquially known as the Venice of Provence, it’s a delightful town filled with canals, waterfront cafés, meandering streets and photogenic squares complete with a fountain or two. This is a place where time slows down, and lunch can take all afternoon. This is the place for antique lovers, especially on a Sunday when the regionally-famous antiques market brings in dealers from across the area. Get there early for the best bargains.

Everywhere you go at Mas des Sorgues, you’ll be surprised. 350-year-old features, arched doorways and massive oak beams sit easily alongside more modern touches. The living area is filled with typically French accents, such as the large decorative mirror and the ornately carved side cases. The neutral tones complement the natural beauty of the stone. By contrast, the kitchen may have the villa's unique stone walls on display, but sleek, professional-standard appliances bring the space right up to date. A wine cellar with a stone pedestal and basin is the ideal spot to discover the wide variety of local vintages on offer.

The bedrooms are spread across three wings. In the West Wing are two queen-size bedrooms with ensuites, while the Central Wing is home to two king-size and queen-size bedrooms. The décor is sublime and restful, with each room having a real boutique feel. In the East Wing are four more bedrooms, all of which have king-size beds. The master suite has a private dressing room and serene interiors that allow you to relax at the end of a busy day.

The outside wraps itself around the Mas, encouraging you to wander through the fragrant beds of the manicured French gardens. The secret courtyard is the gem that sets this Mas apart. Step through grand iron gates and you're into a magical world that cocoons you from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Even the swimming pool in this extraordinary villa is exceptional, made from a 200-year-old ornamental basin complete with a fountain. There is no doubt about it, Mas des Sorgues is a glorious villa that will utterly charm you from the moment you arrive.
