A contemporary gem with glorious outdoor space, it is perfectly placed to experience the very best of Provence, so close to L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, Avignon and the mesmerising landscapes of the Luberon.

The villa’s stylish owners escaped the bustle of Paris to renovate this traditional home and transform it into a stunning modern abode, adding an impressive contemporary wing. They certainly have an eye for detail - just admire the sophisticated décor, beautiful works of art and rich furnishings juxtaposed with a minimalist vibe and a great sense of space. Sit back in the vast, elegant living room or make the most of the video projector in the second lounge. The light-filled kitchen-diner has sliding windows leading out to a terrace beneath the grand plane, the perfect spot for an evening aperitif as the sun sets.

21st-century touches can be found throughout – look at the five bedrooms, for example, most of which feature TVs, Sonos speakers and outlets for digital devices. As well as four high-end bathrooms (three of them en suite with Italian showers), there is air-conditioning throughout and other fine details such as high-end beds, good-quality linen and a choice of pillows depending on your preference.

Step outside and you know you are in Provence – a vast garden with lawns, olive and cypress trees and a wonderful swimming pool. There is ample space to relax, run around, play boules and dine al-fresco by the barbecue with the background hum of cicadas.

In a rural setting surrounded by typically Provençal farmland and fields, it’s only 2km to a small village with a restaurant-bar and grocery store. The market town of Cavaillon is just over a 5-minute drive away, famed for its diverse heritage and sweet summer melons, or soak up the enchanting ambience of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue with its antique stores, waterwheels and much-loved weekly brocante.

Hire canoes and kayaks in Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, spend the day in historic Avignon, hire bikes and follow trails between villages or drive into the Luberon with picture-perfect places such as Gordes, Ménerbes and Oppède le Vieux so close. Then there’s Bédoin, Saint-Rémy, Baux de Provence and even Arles – this really is a crossroads of Provence and such a beguiling part of southern France.
