Happy New Year, Friends! The new year is a time for self-discovery and for wandering after your wildest dreams. It is a time to be inspired by new places and new faces. It’s a time to take a leap into a new adventure. With the sparkling spirit of 2018 burning with desire, this week we’re sharing a peek into the New Year’s Resolution that re-inspires our daily intentions: creative travel.
Last year, Joy Proctor and I resolved to travel more with intimate bespoke journeys around the world. We created the #heartsafluttertour where we traveled through France with 10 amazing women from around the world. Here’s the dream villa that made our hearts flutter.
Nestled in the heart of Provence, just a hop, skip, and jump from Saint Rémy is the glorious Villa Les Confines. The secluded twenty-acre estate is filled with what our dreams are made of.
Through the gates you are immediately whisked away into the serenity of the countryside and all its charming euro aesthetic. A few heart-fluttering moments further and you are struck with captivating views of the property’s exquisite formal gardens designed by landscape artist Dominique Lafourcade.
Stepping off the terrace, you’ll feel like Alice in Wonderland wandering under garlands of wisteria, through open hedges and passageways, into an array of endless secret gardens filled with floral and topiary works of art. Lavender, rose, olive, and herb: around every corner you are drawn into enchanting pockets of majestic Provencal beauty. And these are just the gardens!
The fairytale Saint Rémy villa has eight bedrooms in the main house and two charming cottages in the gardens; one in the orchard and the other within the Portuguese Garden. On each side of the property is a pool – one an intimate plunge, the other hidden away in the most heart-fluttering African-inspired gardens.
