A luxurious Provencal hideaway carved into the Alpilles cliffs, blending ancient stone architecture with minimalist design

Tucked beneath the impressive cliffs of Les Baux-de-Provence, La Bergerie de Calabrun is a stunning luxury villa rental. Carved directly into the rocks, this converted shepherd’s shelter is a seamless blend of ancient stone architecture, wild Mediterranean nature, and contemporary luxury.

The property is set within a 3,000-square-metre garden, surrounded by olive and cypress trees, which provide an authentic Mediterranean atmosphere. Guests can unwind in the heated pool, savour al fresco meals on the terrace, which includes a Japanese-style Kamado barbecue, or gather around the wood-burning fire pit as evening falls.

Inside, the monumental rock formations shape the living spaces, creating a sophisticated “cave” atmosphere that remains naturally cool during the heat of summer. The design features raw materials with a minimalist-chic aesthetic, including whitewashed walls in gentle mineral tones, reclaimed wood ceilings, and carefully selected design pieces. This combination results in a perfect blend of authenticity and luxury.

Spanning 350 square metres across three floors, the villa provides plenty of space for relaxation. A large lounge room with soaring ceilings opens directly onto the garden, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. A stone archway opens into an elegant dining room featuring a stunning wood-carved dining table, set beneath custom statement lighting. The adjoining modern kitchen, fully equipped with professional Lacanche appliances, is a dream for culinary enthusiasts.

The villa accommodates up to 10 guests in five en-suite bedrooms, including two spacious master suites. Each room serves as a private sanctuary, with some opening directly onto the garden and others offering views of the jagged peaks.

After a day of exploring, guests can head to the villa’s private spa, which is carved directly into the limestone bedrock. It features a heated indoor pool that mirrors the jagged cave walls, a rejuvenating sauna, and a serene wellness space, offering a cool, mineral-rich refuge where guests can reconnect with the earth in total privacy.

With its unique design and luxury amenities, La Bergerie de Calabrun is the ultimate sanctuary for those who wish to immerse themselves in the landscape of Provence.
