DOMAINE LE CANADEL, an enchanting 18th-century bastide, nestles on 172 hectares comprising woodland, an olive grove, a vineyard, and an ornamental lake. The farmhouse was extensively remodeled in 1993 by Bruno Lafourcade, the most sought-after restoration specialist in the South of France, while maintaining many of its original features. The formal gardens are reputed to be among the most beautiful in Provençe and have been featured in two books. Beyond a garden-sequestered swimming pool lies the tennis court with sitting area, a lavender garden, and a boules pitch. Contact William Montgomery +44 (0)28 4278 8666
