Mas Roche 2 minutes walk from the heart of the village, this Provençal farmhouse will seduce you with its charm, its large interior volumes, and its neat and poetic exterior.
With a holiday feel, this family house with exposed stones, located in the South of France, has many advantages: the choice of authentic materials and respect for the original building gives this farmhouse a particular authenticity... Former post office, the renovation of this atypical place offers large rooms exposed at different levels, with huge vaults in the ceiling, giving the place a special intimacy. Lovers of works of art, the owners were keen to share their passion for certain artists exhibited in several places in the building: a real initiation course to discover.
Here one can imagine an art of living where simple pleasure, combined with comfort, dominates.
The Mas consist of 5 air-conditioned double bedrooms & bathrooms accommodating 10 guests, what a better place to visit Provence!
The outdoor of 600m² garden with several terraces facing south will offer you moments of calm and conviviality, in the shade of the pergola to sip an aperitif or to share a lively dinner.
