The DNA: This innovative eco-friendly hybrid guest house/hotel La Ferme HI bride, is tucked away in the sleepy Provençal countryside, is unlike anywhere else in the tourist-clogged Lubéron. A restored ancient farm surrounded by olive groves, vineyards, and a nine-acre forest, the real draw is experiencing the whimsical world of French interior and industrial designer Matali Crasset, who masterminded every detail of the spare but deeply comfortable rooms and small houses, aglow with eye-popping colors, hand-drawn wall murals, and signature furniture. Add to that a dressed-down convivial vibe, superb homegrown wine, a pretty pool (a reservoir, actually), plus masterclass cooking classes and musical events, and you have yourself the ideal (read: bling-free and unspoiled) avant-garde boutique creation.
