Overview:
The villa at Domaine de Cascaret combines period buildings with contemporary style. Spacious living areas interconnect across the generous ground floor. Large windows to both the south and north overlook lush landscaped gardens - creating a luminous and airy ambience within. There are 8-10 double bedrooms on the first floor. The house is very versatile and can easily be separated into an East and West Wing, each with its own entrance, kitchen and dining areas.
Designed by landscape architect Anna Andreyeva, the glorious gardens reflect the history and character of both the house and the region. In front of the East Wing there is a Jardin Sec (dry garden) that takes its cue from the local garrigue landscape and encourages biodiversity and sustainable beauty. Beyond is a seeded wildflower meadow that is a riot of colour in the summer. To the north the garden has a more formal English feel. Meandering paths thread through local flora, fruit trees, and palms, creating a melange of colours and scents.
A large, heated swimming pool (12m x 5m) is the centrepiece of outdoor life. The terrace provides plenty of space for water activities, table tennis, sunbathing and alfresco dining.
Domaine de Cascaret is an impressive property offering an idyllic lifestyle in the heart of the French countryside - while having excellent transport links to the wider world.
