A WEEK-END IN ENCHANTING PROVENCE, WHERE NATURE AND TRADITION ELEVATE BEAUTY TO ITS TOP ESSENCE

When you are invited to an otherworldly "Mas" in Provence, you just want to move in and be part of this enchanting experience for ever.
Claudia Ravnbo and Catherine Bedel are the Deus ex Machina behind the most exquisite villas I visited worldwide, and this time it is St Rémy de Provence.
Secret gardens, sumptuous pool houses, delightful sofas cleverly embellished with incredible cushions, are all put together with a playful balance of glass transparencies , satined pastel shutters , balconies and stone elements with the most exquisite "french touch".
Provencal pots mixed with ultramodern mirrors and furry lampshade create an addiction to cozy atmospheres and nostalgic settings. Old books are impeccably set into high ceilings traditional libraries and we get constantly reminded life is beautiful, we need to love and be cool through cute little objects here and there quoting sweet words.
My ever favorite bedroom: the Torero of course,decorated with a gilded oval antique mirror and a couple of sanguigna prints, on a base of taupe linens and taffetas soft furnishings perfectly melting all together in this luscious corner...the house's best kept secret. 
StudioCC talent is not only about interiors though, the external renovation gone through important stages has revealed a perfect knowledge of outdoor space lay-out adjustments to maximize perspective, view and proportions between old and new.
