The air-conditioned house has a quirky layout, showing off its feature combinations of stone, wood, white plaster and curved archways. The hall, kitchen-diner, and living room with stone fireplace are all situated on the main floor.
There are four double bedrooms on different levels each side of the living area, one with a dressing room and another with an additional single bed. You may have to draw lots for the en suite fifth double bedroom which is in a popular garden annexe opposite the pool, perfect for a midnight swim beneath the stars.
The tree and flower-filled garden has pretty south-facing al fresco terraces perfect for soaking up the sun and sheltering from the Mistral. The lovely views are sure to tempt you to a walk down the hill towards the olive groves below.
Maison Huguette is ideally situated for visiting the delights of this region of Provence and is only a five minute drive from the centre of the pleasant village of Mausanne-les-Alpilles, nestled at the foot of the spectacular landscapes of Les Alpilles. Immerse yourself in Provençal life as you explore the shops, restaurants, weekly market and taste the excellent olive oil produced at the two mills.
There are so many outdoor activities to enjoy in Les Alpilles as well as visits to some of the idyllic hill villages such as Les-Baux-de-Provence and Eygalières. Don’t miss the famous Wednesday market and artistic ambience of vibrant St-Rémy-de-Provence, where artist Vincent Van Gogh created his masterpiece “Starry Night”.
The historic city of Arles is easily accessible and is a gateway to the iconic wild white horses, black bulls and pink flamingos of the Camargue, an amazing landscape of salt marshes with plenty of opportunity for more outdoor adventure while nearby Saint-Martin de Crau is situated in a vast and protected natural landscape of wild steppes. Plus, the beaches of the Mediterranean are less than an hour's drive away.
- Due to the maison's interesting layout, there are lots of steps and stairs across the various wings of the house – children should take extra care.
- Please note that one of the bedrooms is in a separate annexe in the garden, next to the swimming pool.
