Les Deux Mas

With pretty shuttered windows, an al-fresco terrace under the plane trees and a swimming pool set in gardens dotted with olive trees, Les Deux Mas feels so typical of Provence in every way, just a short drive from the enchanting town of L'Isle-sur-Sorgue.

Set across two traditional farmhouses which have been joined together, Les Deux Mas offers spacious accommodation ideal for both families and friends. There are two living rooms, a wonderful family lounge with toys and games, a convivial kitchen-diner with doors leading out to the gardens and eight inviting bedrooms, all with glorious views of the surrounding gardens and Luberon landscapes beyond. The air-conditioned houses have been renovated beautifully, using carefully selected materials that pay great respect to the region’s heritage and soul.

Outside, enjoy al-fresco feasts in the shade of century-old trees, play tennis on your private court, picnic on the vast lawns and cool off from the summer sun in the swimming pool. This is Provençal living at its best across four hectares of landscaped gardens with towering pines, little stone walls, terracotta pots of summer colour and olive trees.

L'Isle-sur-Sorgue is such a joy to explore with its picturesque branches of the Sorgue river, riverside café terraces, ancient waterwheels and charming antique shops – don’t miss the Sunday morning farmers’ market and huge brocante.

You are perfectly positioned for exploring so much of Provence with timeless hilltop villages set amongst landscapes of vineyards, lavender fields, woodland and orchards – it’s also a paradise for walkers and cyclists across the Vaucluse plains, Luberon landscapes and mighty Mont Ventoux. Canoe or kayak along the river from Fontaine-de-Vaucluse or spend a day fishing for trout on the banks of the Sorgue. 

Soak up the ambience at Luberon farmers’ markets in Gordes, Ménerbes or Apt, dine out in high-end restaurants, visit the wineries of the Rhône valley or admire the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Avignon in this gloriously contrasting part of Provence.
