About the area

L’Etoile des Baux is in an unspoilt valley near the stone quarries of the Alpilles mountain range of Provence. The cliffs and natural surroundings provide privacy, yet the villa also has easy access to top-tier facilities in the nearby area.

Just a few minutes’ walk away is the Michelin-starred L’Oustau de Baumanière, a gastronomic restaurant serving French haute cuisine. In addition, the 18-hole Domaine de Manville golf course is just 10 minutes’ drive from the property.

Guests can visit a host of beautiful Provencal villages and towns in the surrounding area. Must-visit locations include Eygalières, with its winding streets and medieval ruins, picturesque Saint Remy – famously the subject of Van Gogh’s “Starry Night”, and Arles, renowned for its ancient history and annual photography exhibition.

Nature lovers can explore the Alpilles Regional Nature Park by hiking, cycling, mountain biking or horse riding.
