Flutter Magazine - Provence Villa Rental Clos Saint Esteve

Each morning you awake to the serene sounds of birds chirping and the softness of the wind sweeping through the trees. Popping open the shutters, the sun splashes the warmth of its golden rays into your room. You take a deep breath. You smile. It’s invigorating. Perhaps you do a happy dance and think to yourself: It really is as good as it gets.

Welcome to Provence! During the May #heartsafluttertour in France, we wandered off to the countryside for an authentic Provencal experience at Domaine Clos Saint Estève.

The private five-and-a-half bedroom provencal farmhouse sits pretty on 17-acres surrounded by fragrant rose and lavender gardens, wildflowers, olive trees, pathways lined with colorful irises and neighboring poppy fields. Located just outside of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue — a charming town famous for its Sunday antique markets — and a short ride from Gordes and the Luberon, this gem was our home for five days.

The hospitality of Clos Saint Estève is phenomenal. From the pre-planning of events to the ease of arrival, the daily assistance and lovely breakfasts, the proprietor Anna and her team made our stay all the more relaxed and memorable. #takeusback!

Each year the property produces a limited batch of estate grown olive oil. They are also in the midst of restoring the 18th century vineyard and cellar that once served the property. Yes please!

Merci beaucoup for the incredible hospitality, Domaine Clos Saint Esteve! Until next time!

Here’s to celebrating our glorious Mother Earth today and every day! 🥂🌎🌷

This gathering was a celebration of food, nature and likeminded friends at @thewunderkammer_urbanfarm in the spring of 2019. 

Surrounded by an abundance of blooming potted flowers + plants, animals, various gardens, a wild meadow and beautiful life-sized topiaries that flanked each end of the table we sat at...it was one of those magical evenings thats exceptional beauty and spirit was made possible by Mother Earth...and the thoughtful aesthetic of @thewunderkammer_amsterdam, of course!

Two springs ago @juliepaisley and I traveled to the Netherlands to experience the rainbow of flowers that bloom across the country. The sun barely made an appearance during our entire trip but that didn’t stop the glorious spectrum of color that captured our hearts day in and day out. 🌷 🌈 

During our trip we had the “pinch myself” opportunity to meet with @thewunderkammer_amsterdam for an evening of floral fun. ⬆️ That glorious photo above was designed by the artful design duo for our gathering! #myheartsaflutter 

While I haven’t been able to share the story of our time in Amsterdam as I’d hoped in the magazine, I will be sharing it here over the course of the next few weeks. I hope you enjoy this colorful dose of spring in Holland!

PS - I’m currently sharing an opportunity to flower alongside The Wunderkammer over at @the_floral_pantry!! Be sure to check it out to flower the day away with us!
