Mas du SoleilFrance, Provence

Located on the outskirts and within walking distance of St Remy-de-Provence and yet sufficiently far away from the town centre to be almost in the country. Mas du Soleil was once part of a large farm, the buildings of which have recently been lovingly converted into a very stylish mas with over 600m2 of living space. Decorated and furnished to a quality standard throughout in an understated, chic contemporary Provencal style, the rooms are spacious and courtesy of the fair-sized windows, benefit from having a light and airy feel.

The property looks onto a very well-maintained garden, the centrepiece of which is a heated pool of 15.5 x 4.5m which is alarmed, there is also a boules court. Beyond the property boundary, one has distant views of Les Alpilles.

Other impressive features to note include the immense summer lounge with 6m high ceiling, which features a fully equipped kitchen, including American fridge/freezer, range, gas BBQ, plancha and dishwasher, a magnificent dining table; that can seat up to 24 people, a large Provencal fireplace, a TV, DVD, Home Cinema area and large French windows that overlook the pool, garden and pretty central fountain. Outside there is a large shaded terrace with dining table. Next door to the summer lounge is a small gym, with exercise machines, sauna, walk-in shower and separate WC and a small reading room.

In the main house, there is a fully equipped modern kitchen with a range and dining area. Secondary kitchen with cave au vin, dishwasher and American fridge/freezer. Laundry room with washing machine and dryer. Pretty ‘’winter’’ living room with fireplace. The property can sleep up to 14 guests, comprising 12 adults in the 6 main bedrooms and two children in the 7th, which is located on a mezzanine floor of one of the bedrooms.
