This is the heart of Provence, a region of olive groves, vineyards, lavender and sunflowers landscapes. Those very sunflowers offered inspiration to Van Gogh, who called this region home for some of his creatively productive life. With good proximity to Arles, Saint Rémy de Provence, Aix en Provence, Avignon, Les Baux de Provence, Marseille and the seaside of the Camargue, this is one of France’s most important agricultural regions supporting a rich food scene of quintessential restaurants, farmers markets, and wine makers, all found on the doorstep of this characterful Provencal farm house.
Four en-suite bedrooms provide flexible accommodation. Three king-sized bedrooms (offering the flexibility to convert to twin) occupy the main part of the house and a fourth, king-size/twin with en suite can be found in a self-contained apartment with kitchen and small dining area, adjoining the property. The communal space is open plan and gloriously Provencal in style, while outside an ancient olive tree provides shade over a gravelled seating area and lavender framed pool. Choose to gather fabulous local produce from the Wednesday market or the rather splendid “Jardin Les Alpilles” grocery store both in Mausanne, or wander into town for dinner without having to worry about driving late at night. Staying here, you will have the chance to experience the leisurely pace of real Maussane living, all within a short walk.
