Home description
Set in 3 hectares of lovely gardens and natural meadowland, Mas de la Bousquette is an ancient Provencal mas which looks out onto rolling countryside to the foothills of Mont Bouquet and the mountains of the Cévennes. With its tranquility and sense of timelessness the mas has been superbly and lovingly restored with every care taken to preserve its unique character. An idyllic place to stay at any time of the year.
Our charming gites are furnished with style and are equipped to the highest standards. Rental is inclusive of absolutely everything including a welcome Provencal dinner with us on your first evening. Le Grenier, the larger of our 2 Gites, is a spacious 2 bedroom apartment that can accommodate 4 - 6 people.
This is a place to relax and just 'be' in the wonderful warm clear Provencal climate. With just 2 gites we are never crowded and relaxation is guaranteed. Equally, the children will be happy with the heated pool and our numerous animals. Very special ancient place clustered around a magical internal courtyard garden.
