Overview
There’s a zen-like ambience at the incredible Mas Du Brahma, set in the most serene and splendid Provençal landscapes, close to Les Baux-de-Provence in the heart of the Alpilles Regional Nature Park.
This architect designed mas, which originally dates back to the 18th century, has been recently restored to a spectacular standard. It’s all about understated luxury here, alongside vast space and so much light. The 70m2 living and dining room is magnificent with grand doors and large windows creating a luminous atmosphere whilst original features are perfectly showcased such as the handsome fireplace and wood-beamed ceilings.
The five en suite bedrooms are both rustic and beautiful with some wonderful surprises such as the exquisite bed in one of the ground floor doubles, the incredible stone shower room or the indulgent bath tub upstairs, en suite to one of the two master bedrooms.
Throughout this home traditional materials have been used and only the finest furnishings featured. Furthermore, as well as striking sculptures and impressive artwork, guests should also expect air-conditioning throughout, Apple TVs as well as home-cinema and a Sonos sound system.
Outside, it’s all about the sights and sounds of Provence as water trickles down towards the heated infinity pool, with towering pines and century-old olive trees looking on. Dine al-fresco under the rose-covered arch or by candlelight in the covered pool terrace. Sit quietly on the perfectly positioned bench and marvel at the uninterrupted scenery of olive groves and Les Alpilles.
Set in a rural hamlet, drive through the glorious landscapes as far as the local village just ten minutes away, Maussane-les-Alpilles, known for producing some of France’s best quality olive oil. Visit one of the original mills, potter around its little shops, then enjoy an excellent meal in a bistro or restaurant.
Les Baux-de-Provence, one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’ is only 10km away, and be sure to visit Saint-Rémy-de-Provence for its vibrant Wednesday morning market. Van Gogh’s beloved Arles is another superb day out, as is the historic city of Avignon, or head east to the mesmerising Luberon and archetypal hilltop villages such as Bonnieux, Ménerbes and Gordes, all around an hour away.
No matter whether you travel far or stay closer to your holiday home, the wild and natural Provençal surroundings of Mas Du Brahma are sure to captivate you in every way.

Location
About the surrounding area of Mas Du BrahmaIn a small rural hamlet, Mas Du Brahma is in a beautiful part of Alpilles Regional Nature Park, just 35km south of the historic city of Avignon.
Drive down the country road passing typical Provençal scenery such as olive groves and rocky landscapes, then reach the charming village of Maussane-les-Alpilles in just under 6km. Have a coffee in the shade of one of the plane trees by the fountain in the main square or peruse its pretty shops before enjoying lunch in one of the excellent bistros and restaurants. Unsurprisingly, the village is known for its olive oil production; there are many opportunities to taste olive oil, wine, honey and other regional products at local farms, mills and wineries.
Les Baux-de-Provence, one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’ is 10km away – get there early to avoid the summer crowds as it is such a beautiful village with an impressive castle in an idyllic setting. Further north, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (15km) will enchant art lovers and gourmands alike - the Wednesday morning market is a particular delight.
This is also a wonderful area for hiking through the Baux valley and beyond, passing breathtaking natural scenery, as well as cycling, mountain biking and horse-riding across Les Alpilles countryside. Rock-climbing is also popular around Les Baux and golf-lovers have a choice of two spectacular golf courses in the vicinity.
Heading east, some of the iconic villages of the Luberon region can be reached within an hour such as Lacoste, Roussillon and Ménerbes or visit the interesting and historic town of Cavaillon (25km), especially when melons are in season. L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is an enchanting place with its waterways, antique shops and superb Sunday morning market whilst Fontaine-de-Vaucluse is the perfect spot to hire canoes along La Sorgue river. Gordes and its nearby lavender fields are also idyllic places to visit, just an hour by car.
Follow Van Gogh’s footsteps in Arles (24km) with its galleries and historic sights or admire the beauty of Avignon (35km) with its vibrant markets, wine-bars, restaurants and UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Region
The Provençal way of life is one that’s deeply tempting for anyone who’s been feeling the need to get away from it all. This is a place where the Mediterranean weather turns fields of corn and lavender into picture-perfect backdrops, where you can sip your locally bought wine and enjoy the landscapes before heading out and tackling them head-on with a range of great activities for families, groups of friends and adventurous foodies. Better yet, our range of villas in Provence and chateaux and holiday homes in the Côte d’Azur make the perfect base to explore this enchanting region!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesLes Alpilles offers a wealth of activities for outdoor enthusiasts from family walks and hiking to rock-climbing across Les Baux valley. Pony-trekking, horse-riding and cycling are also superb ways to appreciate the stunning Provençal scenery.
Art-lovers can follow the Van Gogh trails in both Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and Arles, as well as visit wonderful galleries. Young historians should also visit the archaeological site of Glanum just south of Saint-Rémy as well as the impressive Château des Baux in nearby Les-Baux-de-Provence.
Look out for light-shows accompanied by music in the former quarry at Carrières de Lumières, about 10km away, an activity which will appeal to a variety of ages.
A little further way, hire canoes in Fontaine-de-Vaucluse and sail along La Sorgue river as far as L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, an incredibly picturesque place with antique shops, waterside cafes and a brilliant Sunday morning market.
The UNESCO World Heritage site of Pont du Gard is another idyllic spot for canoeing, kayaking or simply enjoying a picnic in spectacular surroundings.
