Mas des Alpilles has been designed and created for your comfort both interior and exterior at all times during your visit.
The exterior lighting allows you to continue to enjoy the wonderful garden and pool areas late into the night.

As well as being extremely comfortable, the sitting-room also houses Sky TV, a DVD player and CD, along with a wide assortment of books in the English language and games for all the family. For those wishing to work or to keep in touch with friends back home, there is also Wifi and a Fax machine.

For dining indoors, there is a large table seating 10-12. The house is beautifully and comprehensively furnished and every last detail has been carefully planned. The owner has thought of everything, even providing visitors with samples of his home-made jam and olive oil. Guests will really feel as though they've found a home away from home.

The fabulous sitting-room has a magnificent chimney and an extremely high ceiling with a galleried corridor at first-floor level. Windows to both sides give a wonderful light, showing the various original works of art to their best advantage. The property is full of interesting pictures and artefacts which the owners have collected on their travels and in the many markets and brocante stalls of Provence, all of which combine to give the house a totally lived-in and welcoming feel.

Anyone interested in cooking is bound to be enraptured by this kitchen! The enormous dresser contains crockery and cutlery for up to 50 people, and every kind of appliance has been provided, along with a choice of table linens and many pretty decorative items. And when the food is ready, pop outside to the herb garden for those final finishing touches.

A recent introduction to the home cinema room is a fully renovated Gaveaux upright piano dating from 1870,
which professional and ameteur pianists will appreciate. A second digital receiver has also been installed so that, as well as Sky TV reception in the sitting room, the home cinema received Canal Sat.

All the bedrooms are air-conditioned and all also have telephones from which to call other rooms. The master bedroom has a 180 cm bed and en-suite bathroom. Wake in the morning to the glorious view of the pool and the Parc des Alpilles.

There are dressing-gowns in all the bathrooms and sweet-smelling soaps for both baths and showers.

For film lovers, there is a fantastic air-conditioned cinema room in the basement, complete with bar and an extensive DVD collection. And if film-viewing isn't your thing, then turn on the disco lighting and party the night away!

Each bedroom has been individually designed and decorated with hand-crafted Provencal furniture and fabrics for an authentically French look. Many of the pieces have been bought locally in St Remy de Provence and L'Isle sur la Sorgue, the latter famed for its enormous Sunday market and numerous antique shops.

There is a safe in each of the bedrooms so guests can feel at ease about their valuables when going out for the day. Textured walls feature throughout the house and were created using soil and tiny stones from the garden. No colouring was added to the mixture and the result is a delicate pale sand colour which gives warmth and character to the house.

There are three bedrooms in the main house - two upstairs and one downstairs and all with en-suite bath or shower rooms which will remain spick and span as the maid comes in for six hours each day.

There are two pretty bungalows in the garden, both capable of sleeping a couple and 2 children. This makes the property ideal for people seeking togetherness yet privacy and is perfect for those with smaller children or teenagers as they can be confident of not disturbing other guests. Toss a coin in the attractive stone fountain and make a wish!

Each of the bungalows has a double bed downstairs and single beds upstairs which can also be pushed together to form another double bed.

All the bedrooms have plenty of hanging space for clothes as well as chests of drawers. The second bungalow has been decorated with family portraits from around the world and the tasteful use of old materials serves to create a wonderfully characterful ambiance.

Small children will be particularly entranced by sleeping under the eaves in this gorgeous room complete with a variety of toys and carefully chosen pretty bed linen.

Dream under the eaves - and then wake to realise that you are, in fact, living the dream in this beautiful house.

All the bathrooms are supplied with hairdryers and an abundant supply of towels.
