A Mediterranean Village
Rather than following the contemporary high-rise designs common along Florida's Gulf Coast, the developers chose to create an intimate Mediterranean village emphasizing architectural character, craftsmanship, and beautifully landscaped gardens. The original brochure described the community as "a beloved retreat" with fitness facilities, a private resident lounge, and concierge services intended to make daily conveniences easier for residents.
The site plan reflects that philosophy. Three residential buildings are positioned around landscaped courtyards, fountains, walkways, a pool area, and direct beach access, creating a community that feels connected rather than dominated by architecture.
Today
Two Decades of Renovation
The original residences featured private elevator foyers, gourmet kitchens, custom cabinetry, premium appliances, expansive terraces, and enclosed garages. More than two decades later, many homes have been beautifully renovated, blending contemporary interiors with the Mediterranean character that continues to distinguish En Provence from virtually every other beachfront condominium on Longboat Key.
