Le Mas Colorado

Brimming with Provençal charm and with stylish interiors worthy of a magazine, Le Mas Colorado is an exceptional holiday retreat just 350m from the village centre with restaurant and café. Thoughtfully renovated, this country house combines traditional character with contemporary comfort. Stone walls, sage green shutters and lawned gardens create an idyllic first impression, while modern touches ensure a truly relaxing stay.

Inside, the interiors have been sympathetically decorated in a soothing palette of soft creams and greys, perfectly complementing the exposed beams and traditional windows. The ground floor has been opened up to create a light-filled living space, where the kitchen, dining area and lounge blend seamlessly. The fully equipped kitchen has everything needed for leisurely breakfasts or long Provençal suppers, while the comfortable lounge, with its striking circular feature window and views out to the garden, is the perfect place to unwind after a day exploring this beautiful corner of Provence. Upstairs, the elegant styling continues with three attractive bedrooms and two beautifully finished bathrooms, all designed for comfort and calm. French doors open onto the pretty tiered gardens with views across the countryside towards neighbouring hills. On the main terrace, just a few steps from the house, is a dining area, ideal for taking in the vista as you linger with a chilled drink. An inviting swimming pool offers the ideal spot to cool off on warm summer days. Ancient olive and fig trees create a peaceful atmosphere and shade from the sun, while pots of lavender add to the home’s authentic Provençal appeal.

Set within the charming village of Rustrel, the house is just a short stroll from the bakery, café and restaurants and a beautiful 17th century chateau, which is now the town hall. The surrounding area is excellent for sightseeing, hiking and cycling, with several trails close to the house. The spectacular Colorado Provençal, famed for its dramatic ochre landscapes and extraordinary colours, is not to be missed. The Luberon’s stunning mountain villages and lavender fields are also within easy reach. The picturesque villages of Bonnieux (25km), Gordes (28km) and Roussillon (20km) are a short drive away, while wine lovers can enjoy discovering the excellent local Luberon wines produced throughout this lovely part of Provence.
