It was truly like a dream that we never wanted to wake up from.
We had very high expectations for our stay in Provence, and somehow our stay at Mas Lambesc exceeded those expectations.
Grande maison confortable et remarquablement décorée
Cette grande maison confortable et remarquablement décorée m'a rappelé des souvenirs de maisons de vacances familiales de mon enfance
Well Provence certainly lived up to our expectations...
This house and surroundings are a little piece of heaven. Thank you! We shall be back soon.
Firstly, we had a totally splendid holiday at Mas du Valent and would very much like to return.
The location is excellent, totally private, quiet and a lovely large plot and yet only a 15 minute walk into the centre of St Remy. The provision of a private parking space in town is most useful for when returning with all the goodies purchased at the Wednesday market. The host, Jean Yves, and his delightful wife Isabelle, were most obliging and when the odd niggle did occur (the power went out briefly) he responded very quickly. On two occasions he turned up with breakfast croissants for us. This is a five bedroom property which sleeps ten in five double beds. Three are in the main house, one master bedroom upstairs with en-suite and two downstairs, opening onto the gardens with a shared bathroom and separate loo. In the 'dependence' or annex there is a bedroom with bathroom and loo and a sofa bed in the sitting room. These rooms are not quite so nice but ideal for kids as they can get some privacy or for guests passing through. The living room is comfortable, air-conditioned and has a large flat screen smart TV. We spent very little time inside. The kitchen has been designed by someone who doesn't cook! It is well equipped (although oddly missing one or two expected items like a pair of scissors and a water jug). The fridge, hob and dishwasher are all within a couple of feet of each other and only one can be accessed at a time. If, like us, you are mainly preparing salads, cold food or BBQ-ing outside then it is fine. Coffee making facilities are excellent with a Nespresso machine and a larger bean-to-cup job. The device I missed the most was an ice making machine. If, like us, you are drinking industrial quantities of Provencal Rose, you need a lot of ice for the ice buckets. Making ice in little trays in the (quite small) freezer was a bit of a bore. The garden and pool area is first class, with lots of shade when it gets too hot. The Jacuzzi and sauna didn't appear to be working when we were there but I don't think we really wanted them. Nice for the cooler months though and I think that is Jean Yves' intention. There is a second dining area outside a small building with a pizza oven but it looked like it hadn't been used in ages (maybe a future project for Jean Yves). I recommend spending a day with Jean Yves and Isabelle on their boat, a lovely 54ft Janneau yacht. His rates are reasonable and you will have great fun (I am not a sailor!). In summary, Mas du Valent is a lovely place to stay and the negatives did not detract from our enjoyment (except for the odd glass of warm Rose due to lack of ice!). Jean Yves has an impish sense of humour but be in no doubt he wants you to have fun and will assist with any problems or queries.
Séjour de rêve
Une situation idéale en plein cœur des Alpilles, une maison pleine de charme et très fonctionnelle, une piscine à 28 degrés, le Paradis! Merci pour ce séjour.
Great location and perfect space for large group or family
The home has all the amenities one needs for a large group. Very cozy spaces to chill and yet large enough to getaway.
Voyage en groupe
C’était tout simplement extra. Je ne peux que recommander ce lieu. Idéal pour 8 personnes et propriétaires super sympas et arrangeants !
A beautiful property
A friendly welcome by the owners made us feel like home immediately. The house, all spaces, are warmly furnished and decorated in style. All clean and regularly looked after very well by the cleaning staff. During our stay all of our family members spent most of their time in the centrally located kitchen with lots of space and the beautifull cour. Goult is a nice village just a 10 minutes walk away and we enjoy the luberon anyway as one of the nicest places in france. We will be back !
Maison de rêve
Une maison de rêve, vraiment. Nous sommes tombés sous le charme. Très belle rénovation, magnifique jardin, et quelle paix. Hôtes en or, merci merci merci
Excellent, personalised, professional and caring service
Can't praise Provence holidays highly enough. Booking was speedy, staff honest and informative and we got the villa we wanted with the minimum of fuss. Unfortunately the new Government travel warnings re. Covid meant we had to cancel and we were absolutely stunned by the way Provence holidays, in particular Simon, dealt with the problem. They were fast, professional and very considerate. The money was refunded with no fuss and I would hundred percent travel with them next year, in fact we're looking into booking the Villa we had to cancel now. Outstanding.
Sadly had to cancel
Due to government guidelines we had to cancel our trip. I sent an email on the Friday advising this and had my money returned on the Monday. I am still fighting with other companies to get money back from holidays cancelled in April. I would recommend anyone to book with confidence with Provence holidays and am just v sad that we could not go. House looked so beautiful.
Great customer experience
Sadly we were forced to cancel our Provence holiday this year due to Foreign Office guidelines and covid restrictions but Simon at Provence Villas kindly offered us many options including a full refund and rebooking our holiday. He personally called to take me through the options available to us. We decided to rebook the villa for summer 2021 and would highly recommend Simon and his team at Provence Villas. Excellent service + an unbeatable choice of villas in the Provence region.
Excellent séjour
Excellent séjour. Paysage superbe et localisation très tranquille. Villa très agréable avec une décoration recherchée. Très bien équipée. Pas facile de trouver le chemin d'accès la première fois. Demander le chauffage de la piscine. En conclusion : très bonne référence, sans surprise.
Service impeccable
Nous avons eu une expérience parfaite avec Provence Holidays.

Maison de rêve
Maison de rêve et hôtes très agréables et disponibles!
Villa magnifique
Fabuleux séjour dans une villa magnifique.
Super séjour
Les + Localisation. Aménagement du jardin - arbres, plantations. Maison très agréable et très pratique - Bien pensée pour des séjours à plusieurs : nombreux frigos, machine à glaçons, etc. Endroits pour les repas et l'apéro superbes. De nombreux transats confortables. Au calme (pas de voisins) mais on entend les passages sur la route proche. L'accueil de Carole. Les - Deux des chambres très petites avec toilettes dans la chambre même (sans porte). Très petit jardin et petite piscine (6x3)
Beau Mas Provençal magnifique jardin

Le mas de la crau
Très belle propriété avec un superbe jardin arboré, une très belle piscine, un potager avec des légumes de Provence, et un poulailler offrant des œufs quotidiennement. Des propriétaires sympathiques et à l ecoute de nos besoins. J ai passé un magnifique moment en famille dans cette maison a la campagne.
