Conjure up a feast in the kitchen, or stroll 5 minutes into town to have dinner in Maussane Les Alpilles. The heart of quintessential Provence, Mas Maussane is a wonderful renovated farmhouse in the land of olive groves, vineyards and lavender.
The house itself is located in this small town which is a charming destination known for its local ingredients, great bistros, cafés and restaurants, all of which are just a 5 minute walk from the house. There are enticing weekly markets and more than one 'boulangerie' to gather your oven fresh croissants and baguettes. Local olive oil producers and vineyards offer 'dégustation' tasting sessions most days!
Once inside the walled grounds, guests will enjoy the Provençal style planting and shaded seating areas around the good sized private saline pool which can be heated at extra cost. There are four bedrooms in total, three of which occupy the main part of the house and a fourth is a self-contained apartment with kitchen and small dining area, adjoining the property and with its own separate entrance if needed via an external staircase. The ground floor is a spacious barn conversion in an open plan layout that lends itself well to sociable meal times with a large dining table and kitchen island.
Rich with history and culture, this is the region that Van Gogh called home for a formative period of his life. Close by is Arles (24km), Saint Rémy de Provence (10km), Avignon (34km), and just a 5km drive is the beautiful village of Les Baux de Provence with its stunning cliff top views, château and historic centre. At the bottom of the town is a renowned Michelin starred restaurant boasting spectacular cuisine, and in a former quarry nearby there is a sound and light show attraction in which famous artworks are projected onto the walls, floors and ceilings. Further afield, Marseille (78km) and the seaside resorts of the Camargue (58km) are worth a day trip. So many beautiful places to explore in one holiday!
