A Jewel Near St. Rémy-de-Provence

In a delightful countryside setting close to spectacular Les Baux and just a few minutes from fashionable St. Rémy-de-Provence, this superb, recently renovated mas is a haven of privacy, peace and quiet. The lavender-lined drive is just the first of the Provencal delights in store -  local traditions are upheld in the spacious rooms, tiled floors and monumental fireplaces, while country antiques and colorful fabrics add a personal touch.

The living rooms and kitchen are bright, modern and well laid-out, while outside a charming retreat awaits, replete with shady trees, striking stonework and the refreshing sounds of trickling water from the fountain. The pool and pool-house have been cleverly inserted into this rustic setting and a choice of sheltered spots are available to relax in sun or shade.

The bedrooms have their own touches of color and rich fabrics, while one bathroom has a totally unique bath carved from the solid trunk of a once-mighty tree! In addition to the three bedrooms on the top floor there is a separate apartment on ground level with a living room and fully equipped kitchen -- perfect for those who do not want to cope with stairs.

When you want a change of pace, there are plenty of treats to discover in the nearby towns of St. Rémy and Avignon as well as the cafés, shops and markets of the local villages. Whether you want to explore the neighboring hills and vineyards on foot or bike, take longer trips to historic towns and hilltop villages, or even drive south to the Mediterranean, an unforgettable Provencal vacation surely awaits.
