Overview

The mas consists of four en-suite bedrooms, a living room, dining room, office, fully equipped kitchen and a laundry room. Outside there is a beautiful swimming pool with fountain and  large covered terrace with outdoor dining and barbecue plancha. 

It is tastefully decorated and furnished to give the maximum comfort to all the guests, large patio window opening on to the pergola terrace with views to the Alpilles hills but also in the distance the ruined castle in surrounding Les Baux.

The Mas can accommodate up to eight guests and on request there is possibility for an additional bed.

This area of Provence boasts history and beautiful scenery not only of the Alpilles hills but also of the ruined castle that dominates the landscape surrounding Les Baux de Provence.  The castle can be traced back to the 10th century. The local people finally destroyed it in 1632 to bring an end to the centuries of conflicts, revolts, sieges and wars of religion, which had taken, place there. Today, quaint artisan shops and restaurants line the tiny cobbled streets. A wider range of amenities can be found at Mausanne les Alpilles and at St-Remy-de-Provence, birthplace of Nostradamus, both of which are within easy reach of this villa.  A 25 minute drive north from this Les Baux de Provence villa is the medieval Papal city of Avignon, now a UNESCO World Heritage site and site of the world's biggest gothic palace. The city of Arles is just to the south with an impressive Roman arena, once holding 20,000 spectators. This is the gateway to the wetlands of the Camargue with its diverse wildlife ranging from pink flamingos to white horses and black fighting bulls.
