Welcome to Mas Michel, a beautifully-restored Provencal farmhouse in the sought-after area of Eygalières.
The farmhouse
This beautiful, 18th century Provencal farmhouse is a rare find.
Lovingly-restored and artistically-decorated, it is both the perfect place to while away hot summer days, as well as a cosy home to warm up during winter days in front of the fire.
The farmhouse sleeps 12, with 6 beautifully-designed double bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
Interiors
The whole of the ground floor is dedicated to generous and well thought-out communal spaces for guests to hang out in.
The kitchen is fully-equipped and a dream to cook in – it has lots of generous work space, cupboard space and latest electrical appliances.
There is an elegant dining area that seats 12, a generous living area around a fireplace, and a cosy TV room, with Netflix and Apple TV.
For those looking to work peacefully, there is also a wonderfully quiet study area to work, replete with a full-sized snooker table.
There is an on-site gardian, and a maid who comes on a daily basis, who are there to support during any stay.
Sleeping areas
There are 6 generous double bedrooms, and 5 bathrooms.
Each bedroom has a king size bed (180cm), with the possibility of twin beds in three of the 6 bedrooms.
The bathrooms all have generous walk-in showers, and there are also two baths.
Surroundings
10 acres of land surround the mas, comprising of beautiful gardens for kids to run around in, olive and almond trees, and rows of purple lavender fields.
There is also a 13m salt-water swimming pool, a beautifully-landscaped private tennis court and a boules pitch.
By the swimming pool, there is also a ping-pong table and a table football.
The views onto the Alpilles mountains are unparalleled and make for an exceptional sunset from various beautifully conceived seating areas scattered throughout the property.
And then there is the bright green 2CV that comes with the farmhouse, and can be used for an amusing (and much photographed!) drive into the village.
Whereabouts
The mas is just outside the charming village of Eygalieres, one of the most sought-after villages in the area. Morning coffees or evening are a must in this beautiful village.
There are exceptional walks to be had in the neighbouring Alpilles, or a wander around any of the Provencal markets in the region makes for a wonderful day out (St Remy de Provence, Avignon, Aix en Provence).
Other artistic outings also include: les Baux, photography in Arles, Marseilles and the incredible Chateau La Coste.
