Maison Reine is located in the heart of the village of Maussane, beautiful residence, with a enclosed landscaped garden with an elegant heated swimming pool.
Peaceful and serene, this elegant residence also rhymes with serenity and pleasure.
With an air of vacation, it multiplies the assets with refined volumes, whiteness of the plaster covering the walls of the ground floor and most of the bedrooms, large living rooms and spacious bedrooms.
