Traditional farmhouse in Provence - Haven of peace and greenery

We loved staying in this home-from-home with it's stylish furniture and castle-like features. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. It was a short 15-20 mins walk to Boulbon with it's boulongerie and small shop, and the property is located between so many great places, like Arles, the Camargue, Avignon, etc, etc. François was the perfect host, sending helpful ideas for things to do, and communication for arrival and departure was very smooth.

We enjoyed our stay at Boulbon. This is an attractive, old farmhouse built in 1875 with later adaptations and extensions. We particularly enjoyed its peaceful, secluded location in the middle of fields, shaded/cooled by surrounding trees - especially as it's also only a 15-20 minute walk into the centre of Boulbon which has a useful general shop, boucherie, boulangerie and several restaurants (we ate twice at the excellent Cafe du Commerce). Boulbon itself is a very attractive village, with a picturesesque castle, and the house is very well located for the exploring the wider region.The property is well equiped and spacious and has the character of a lived-in home, rather than a holiday-let. It is an older property which hasn't been fully modernised in terms of decor or fittings. Francois was exceptionally attentive as a host and provided lots of useful information about the surrounding area.

The mas was bigger than expected and we enjoyed our stay here. Beds were comfortable and the host was very attentive and helpful. The village of Boulbon is beautiful and we would recommend a hike to the windmill. The maze of medieval alleyways below the castle are worth exploring. There is a well stocked grocery store and a boulangerie adjacent to the mairie.

Three of us stayed here for one week, ending today. The house is located out in the countryside away from any noise (exception was an owl one or two nights). The home has plenty of room, a well furnished kitchen with plenty of pots and pans if you wish to cook (but a tiny coffeemaker), large family room, and very adequate sized bedrooms. There is fantastic shower and small sink upstairs and separate toilet downstairs. The house has a washing machine and outside clothesline. The house is in a beautiful setting, with many large trees and shrubs. We had one incident of an overnight storm that knocked out electricity to the house, but the owner, once notified, had a man there within 15 minutes to fix it, and that fellow was superb! He entertained us with stories, some of which, not speaking French, we understood, (and some singing) after the issue was corrected. Our host could not have been any nicer or more considerate to us. The location is central to many tourist sites: within 15 minutes to Avignon, 25 minutes to Arles, 40 minutes to Nimes, maybe 25 to Pont-du-Gard. So, if you want a good base from which to drive to those places, this is good. If you want to just sit and vegetate in the quiet of the countryside, this is perfect. One suggestion to the owner: perhaps leave instructions on the use of the washer. We got it to work but instructions would have made it easier. The washing machines in France are different than the ones in the U.S. We enjoyed our stay in Boulbon and can recommend this house without hesitation.

The house is lovely ,rustic with mod cons that are essential these days , we felt it would benefit from air conditioning in the bedrooms though,hence the four stars . Nature lovers will appreciate all the cicadas,butterflies , tiny lizards and Camrgue horses which are beautiful as is the food !

The mas was full of charm and character. Everything necessary for a comfortable stay was supplied and the owners were extremely helpful. The garden was delightful with plenty of places to sit and enjoy the sunshine. The mas is surrounded by cherry and peach trees, olives, grapes, artichokes and much more. Boulbon, the local village, is pretty and only a short walk away. We had dinner at the Cafe du Commerce which was friendly with good food and a lovely atmosphere. There is lots to see in the local area, excellent markets, beautiful villages and lots of good walks if you enjoy hiking. The local produce is second to none, whether it's cherries, melons, olive oil or wine. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

Moments magiques passés dans ce mas provençal idéalement situé et entouré de lauriers roses, de cyprès et d'oliviers! Je recommande ...

Nous avons passé 1 semaine dans ce mas qui offre à la fois un excellent emplacement entre Provence et Carmargue, un lieu au calme et au milieu de la nature. Le propriétaire nous a aidés à compléter notre séjour avec quelques adresses et conseils bien utile. A recommander
