Mas de Mestre

Overview

This former eighteenth-century Provençal farmhouse has been tastefully and meticulously restored as a warm and modern dwelling with high-end amenities.  The spacious villa can comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests in its six rooms. One of its major assets is the huge 12-meter swimming pool affording breathtaking views of Mont Ventoux.

Flawlessly renovated, this beautiful eighteenth-century Provençal farmhouse has retained its historical character but is now perfectly equipped for your comfort. It lies in a wonderfully quiet spot, just outside the village of Pernes-les-Fontaines, yet is not isolated. You will also be just 10 minutes from Isle sur la Sorgue.

The refined decorative style perfectly embodies the notion of “Mas Provençal”: the interior is charming yet relaxed, brimming with treasures gleaned from antique markets given a new lease of life. There are some beautiful items like the piano in the main living room, the heart of the house.

You will appreciate the coolness of the stone in summer. On the ground floor, the living area around the fireplace is like a little cabinet of curiosities with its frames, silver candle holders and glass bells. With sofas either side of a wooden coffee table, the lounge is the perfect place to chat, leaf through magazines or read books. As is the case in almost every room of the house, you can also admire the magnificent exposed beams.

A door from the living room takes you into the separate modern kitchen with its dining table. In this friendly and well-appointed area, you will find everything you need to prepare and enjoy some delicious meals: a dishwasher, microwave oven, kitchen utensils, refrigerator, grill, hob, Nespresso coffee maker and filter coffee maker, oven, toaster and more!
