MAS DES CERISIERS

The days are quieter, cicadas hum in the background as lingering meals are enjoyed pool-side and the afternoons lazing by the pool. Locals close their shutters for the sacrosanct afternoon siesta, a time of respite from the piercing Provençal sun and a chance to rest before the evening's festivities. The villa is located on a hill benefiting from dramatic views of Mont Ventoux and the countryside. Set in 3.5 hectares of its own vineyards, and surrounded by cherry orchards, vineyards, lavender fields and woods in an area famous for picturesque off-road bike trails and walks. Mas des Cerisiers has been fully restored with great respect for the traditional materials - exposed beams, open fires, a vaulted stone kitchen, and tiled floors which create a harmonious space of comfort and charm. Country antiques and comfortable, elegant fabrics have been used to create a feeling of tasteful luxury in a tranquil setting. An arched wrought-iron gate opens on to the terraces, the impressive gardens and the large infinity swimming pool. An interior courtyard with views on the pool offers two shaded areas, one dining area with a Weber gas barbecue and the second a day bed, an ideal spot for an afternoon siesta.
