Carolyn Grote visits each of the 200 villas in her collection; all are characteristic of their region (such as farmhouses in Provence). The staff is bilingual and offers local suggestions, from good cycling paths to off-the-radar restaurants.
Description
Set on 650 wooded acres in Provence's Luberon region, this 17th-century hunting lodge epitomizes rustic charm. The main house has five antique-decorated bedrooms, and living and dining areas with high ceilings, exposed beams, ornate stone fireplaces and original tommettes (tile floors). The ground floor kitchen—recently updated with a La Cornue stove and a modern dishwasher—has a wooden country table that's tailor-made for casual family meals. Big groups will appreciate the property's additional three-bedroom guest cottage; even cool-weather guests may have trouble leaving the heated outdoor pool. From $9,240/week.
