This beautifully renovated 19th century bastide is situated just off a quiet leafy lane in the small provençal village of Maillane, just 7 kilometres from St. Rémy de Provence. Within the village there are a couple of boulangeries, a small supermarket, a chemist, a very good restaurant and several café/bars. There are also tennis courts within the village and golf is available at nearby Les Baux de Provence. The historic cities of Avignon, Arles and Nîmes, the Pont du Gard, as well as the Luberon and the Camargue, are all within an easy drive.
Entrance to the property is via a pretty courtyard garden with a swimming pool (7 x 4m) and a shady pergola covered outdoor dining area. There are teak loungers for sunbathing by the pool, a stone fountain and a pool house with small barbecue. The whole area is surrounded by trees giving a tranquil, relaxing ambience. Subtle garden lanterns and concealed lighting create a magical atmosphere for evening meals.
The interiors have been designed exquisitely, preserving the period style and original features, such as the beamed ceilings and fireplaces, while adding original touches and modern conveniences. The spacious rooms are painted in tasteful muted colours, and are beautifully furnished and equipped throughout, including quality glassware and crockery, fine Percale bed linen and quality white towels, power showers and hairdryers in all the bathrooms. There is also satellite TV/DVD player (and DVDs), CD/Radio (and CDs), a selection of board games and a baby cot and highchair. There are prices at this property for 6 - 8 guests and for 10 - 12 guests.
