This exquisite 18th century stone mas epitomizes provençal life at its most idyllic. Accessed by a long private road, it is very quiet and private, surrounded by olive groves, fields and woodlands and with wonderful views over the countryside. Situated close to Arles, it is an ideal base for two couples or a small family to enjoy a relaxing holiday, while exploring Les Alpilles and the Carmargue. The house has been meticulously renovated by the owners and featured in several interior design magazines for its provençal charm. The gardens are a delight, planted with olive trees, lavender, roses, as well as cypress trees and pines, and with a swimming pool. In the neighbouring fields the owners’ horses and donkeys graze. The very spacious ground floor rooms, exquisitely decorated and furnished with antiques, intercommunicate through archways on slightly different levels. French windows open on one side to a lovely shaded terrace, ideal for breakfast and lunch outdoors. The dining area off the kitchen comprises a splendid orangerie, perfect for dining or relaxing and admiring the pool and gardens. The three bedrooms on the first floor all have views over the countryside, and the master bedroom also has air conditioning. Further amenities include satellite television, video recorder and stereo.
