Home description
At the heart of a ten hectare property with Les Alpilles as its backdrop, this late 17th century property is quite exceptional. The location is particularly quiet and tranquil, with only the owners’ horses in the neighbouring fields, yet it is just a short drive from the village of Maussane and the dramatic hilltop village of Les Baux de Provence.
Within the grounds, just a few metres from the house, is a large swimming pool (17 x 5m, step access). The rooms at the front of the house open to a spacious pergola-covered terrace, furnished for dining outdoors.
Everything about this property is of the highest of standards, from its lovely vaulted dining room to its six bedrooms, all with air conditioning and beautifully decorated in soft Provençal colours. All the bedrooms benefit from views over the garden, the swimming pool or the surrounding countryside. It is the sort of property where a large family or group of friends can relax, and explore this fascinating area which epitomizes the light and fragrance of the real Provence.

The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Bouches-du-Rhone region
Welcome to the heart of Provence, where you will be able to admire our most beautiful properties from our office. Provence has a magic all of its own, and with its fascinating history, charming villages, its light and countryside of olive groves, fields of lavender and vineyards, the same spell prevails which has captivated artists and writers over the centuries. From the ‘Vaucluse’ department to ‘Les Bouches du Rhône’ one, crossing the ‘Lubéron’ area, we will propose you a range of choices through our magnificent region.
The Vaucluse, bordered by the rivers, Rhône in the west and Durance in the east, is a region of vineyards, lavender, honey, truffles and spectacular mountain scenery. It includes the Luberon Hills, with its picturesque hill villages, such as Ménerbes, Bonnieux and Lourmarin, made famous more recently by Peter Mayles books. We feature some lovely villas in the area, in the countryside, and on the outskirts of the pretty village of Gordes, with spectacular views across the valley. Within an easy drive are the wonderful historic towns of Avignon and Orange with their fascinating Roman and Medieval remains, and famous summer music festivals. A little further to the north are the Dentelles of Montmirail and the impressive Mont Ventoux, visible miles around. The Vaucluse is known also for its fine Côtes du Rhône wines, including Châteauneuf du Pape, Gigondas and Beaumes de Venise.
The south western corner of Provence, the Bouches du Rhône, is what many people consider to be the true and authentic Provence. Still very traditional, this is the land of Van Gogh, Marcel Pagnol and Daudet. To savour the atmosphere of Provence, visit the small towns and villages, such as St Rémy de Provence, Fontvieille, Paradou and Maussane Les Alpilles, with their weekly markets in central squares shaded by plane trees where old men while away the afternoon playing boules. Close by is the spectacularly situated Les Baux de Provence, the remains of a hilltop feudal stronghold, perched on the rocks. We are particularly pleased to welcome you and to offer you an enlarged selection of properties in this beautiful and unspoilt area, both in the central village locations and in the surrounding area.
From our office of Maussane, we are able to offer help and advice on local activities, restaurants and places to visit, to our guests. We are also usually able to arrange for the services of a cook or a babysitter at your property with advance notice.
Should you need further details or have any question, do not hesitate to contact us ; we are at your entire disposal.
