Description:

This lovely accommodation is set in beautiful countryside with pretty views. Yet is is very close to two very characteristic villages. Paradou is the location for the well known Bistro de Paradou with its superb regional cuisine. Maussane is valued for its olive oil, still produced by hand in the traditional manner. Maussane has an excellent selection of food stores and restaurants and even an outdoor market. Yet both villages are small and feel very local. From here you are very well situated to tour the region with Les Baux, Arles and St. Rémy all a short drive away. In fact, the list of things to see and do within a 15 minutes drive is impressive. In summer, French-style bullfights and the accompanying local activities take place in many surrounding villages. This is a wonderful location.


This apartment is quite lovely having been recently renovated by the owners with great attention to detail and comfort. It is one of 2 on the grounds. It is very well suited for two couples as it has two bedrooms, each with ensuite bath. The kitchen is bright with a window and door to the patio and a bar that separates it from the living room. The living/dining room has exposed beams, a large stone fireplace and comfortable seating. There is a door to the patio on the other side. There is a bedroom with a king bed and a single bed. It has an ensuite bathroom with shower, sink and separate toilet. The other bedroom has 2 twin beds and an ensuite bathroom with bathtub, shower, sink and toilet. There are two pleasant terraces with views: one sunny, one shaded. This is a truly lovely apartment that is an ideal location for a perfect provencal experience.

The owners live in a separate accomodation and can be helpful if needed.

"We loved the physical beauty, the privacy, comfort with all amenities and--like most people, I imagine, the wonderful warmth, intelligence and joie de vivre of the owners."

"Excellent stay. The location was private, but only 2km from stores. The garden surrounding the house was very pleasant and well-kept. The apartment was large, very comfortable and efficient. The kitchen was well equipped; nice bathroom;, pleasant seating in the salon."
-Hugeutte M., Long Beach, CA
"We had a great time. We liked the central location, the quiet, the architecture, the poultry, but most of all the owners. She had our daughters helping her turn the goose eggs in the incubator twice a day!"
