Location Description

*** Arles is a fine example of a Roman city. There are several impressive Roman monuments, of which the earliest – the arena, Roman Theatre and the cryptoporticus (subterranean galleries) – date back to the 1st Century BC. During the 4th Century, Arles experienced a second golden age, as attested by the baths of Constantine and the necropolis of Alyscamps. In the 11th and 12th Centuries, the cathedral of Saint-Trophime, with its cloister, is one of the Provence’s major Romanesque works. The museum of Antique Arles exhibits major archeological collections, amongst which César'bust recently discovered in the Rhône.The Roman and Romanesque monuments of Arles have been classified World Heritage by the UNESCO in 1986.  
Arles also hosts the International Photo Festival all through the summer months.  
Historical cities offer a wealth of monuments such as Roman aqueducts, Roman thermos, theatres and arenas in Arles and Nîmes, and the Papal Palace in Avignon, as well as other cultural activities.  
The famous aqueduct, the Pont du Gard, is located close by and offers ideal picnic locations complete with swimming and canoeing facilities.  
Dramatic and contrasting landscapes and seascapes can be found in the Alpilles Hills, in the Camargue and along the Mediterranean coast.  
There are a wide range of activities that can be undertaken close to the Mas. These include beaching, hiking, horse riding, a golf course at Les Baux, bird watching and exploring.  
Provence is famous for its gastronomic pleasures, its colourful markets with their fresh products and local crafts, all awaiting discovery. Several local farms of olive oil, wine and perfumes offer daily session of sampling and tasting.  
Aix en Provence is less than fifty kilometres away. This ‘City of Fountains’ has a sophisticated ‘old town’ centre and every summer hosts an international classical music and opera festival.  
Avignon hosts the world renowned Theatre Festival each year.

Additional Information


The Mas, or farmhouse, is divided into several independent units dating between the 18th and 19th centuries. The building is south facing and overlooks a garden, shaded by century old Plane trees. Each apartment has its own private terrace with teak furniture, ideal for cool private evening dinners, and are separated from the other terraces by planters. 
The large garden is a quiet retreat, often frequented by egrets, crows, falcons and magpies with the cicadas and frogs making up the evening orchestra. There is a large swimming pool of 15m x 7m with a depth ranging from 1.4 to 2,8m, as well as small paddling pool under a light cascade for the recreation of toddlers. The swimming pool is chlorine free, and is available from May until end September. The pool is surrounded by teak tanning beds and recliners. The pool house, with its terrace and barbecue, provides a pleasant location for socialising, sundowners and playing petanque (French bowls).  
All three rental apartments,ALPILLES, CAMARGUE and PROVENCE have been renovated to a high standard using authentic materials. Each apartment is independent and has its own private entrance and terrace. They are double storey with the bedrooms and bathrooms above, the kitchens, and open plan lounges downstairs. The bedrooms are all double volume spaces of 4 – 5 metres in height. They all have the original round wooden roof beams exposed and restored. The ceilings downstairs all feature the original wooden slats, typical of the area. The stone walls, when found to be sound have been exposed by removing centuries of boarding, paints and wallpaper. Where the stone was found damaged, it has been plastered using an enduit technique, a traditional technique of the area.  
The upstairs rooms and bathrooms have breath-taking views of the landscape: grass lands, rows of Cyprus and Plane trees and in the distance, the Alpilles. The kitchens are all newly renovated to a high standard. All surfaces are tiled for easy hygienic cleaning. There are ample cupboards for food storage and rental includes all crockery, cutlery, pots, pans and utensils required to cook a normal family meal. Extra or specialised equipment can be requested – if available. The kitchens are each equipped with a stove, a ceramic hob, extractor fan, microwave oven, dishwasher, kettle and Italian expresso machines.  
All bathrooms have been fully renovated and stone has been searched out that matches those of the original construction. ‘Fontvieille’ stone and Travertine tiles have been used extensively in combination with modern fittings, basins and large open showers (each shower includes an overhead and hand-held shower heads).  
There is internet access via W-ifi throughout the Mas.
