With landscapes that would have inspired the great artist, Paul Cézanne, Mas Du Château is surrounded by vineyards, forests and remarkable views of the incredible Mount Sainte-Victoire.

This traditional Provençal mas has been beautifully restored in recent years and turned into a calming and tranquil holiday home in the most glorious setting. Seven pretty bedrooms are scattered across the main house and annexe, each with their own character, personal touches and en suite bathrooms. The lovely living area and inviting dining room, with their exposed beams and rustic ambience, are delightful places to relax whilst the traditional French kitchen has its own little breakfast terrace for a morning coffee in the shade of the mulberry tree.

The outside space is superb with its spectacular views across the vast estate and towards Mount Sainte-Victoire – swimming in your infinity pool with such magnificent vistas is a wonderful experience! There are also various terraces on different levels such as the al-fresco dining area with its summer kitchen and a huge panoramic patio leading from one of the annexe bedrooms.

Mas Du Château is part of a vast hillside estate, covering 500 hectares of woodland, vines and olive trees – follow 40km worth of trails and tracks to discover the great diversity of nature all around you. The château’s vineyards produce red, white and rosé wines, all bottled on site in the estate’s impressive winery – be sure to try the traditionally Provençal ‘Vin Cuit’, the perfect aperitif to accompany the stunning scenery.

Visit the local town, just 5km away, and enjoy a lunch on the main square surrounded by plane trees after wandering around its medieval historic centre – it’s especially lovely on market day. Other idyllic villages close by include Le Tholonet and Puyloubier, both great inspirations to Cézanne with the mighty Mount Sainte-Victoire so near.

Follow further footsteps of Cézanne in charming Aix-en-Provence, only 30km by car, and visit some of the city’s cafes, museums and gardens. Heading south, the Mediterranean coast is also waiting to be explored with enchanting seaside towns such as Cassis and La Ciotat around an hour away, and experience yet more natural beauty with the Calanques National Park coastline.

The vibrant city of Marseille can also be reached in an hour – there really is so much to discover across this enthralling part of southern France. That’s if you can bear to leave the truly beautiful surroundings of this rural idyll.
