Surrounded by olive groves, La Pierre Claire is a striking 18th-century former oil mill that captures the charm and easy rhythm of life in Les Alpilles. Set within a working olive estate just a 5-minute drive from the village of Mouriès, this wonderful hideaway blends historical character with contemporary comfort, offering an idyllic base for a family, couple or close friends to gather and unwind.
Inside, the home opens up into a breathtaking living and dining space where vaulted ceilings, natural stone and original mill machinery evoke a timeless elegance. The well-equipped kitchen is perfectly set up for preparing everything from local market feasts to simple picnics to enjoy across the Provençal landscapes.
Two beautifully appointed bedrooms offer a sense of calm and privacy, each with a queen-size double bed and high ceilings. A sleek, modern bathroom features a bathtub, shower and double vanity, with a separate WC for convenience. Underfloor cooling is another contemporary feature of this remarkable holiday home.
Outdoors, the garden invites you to slow down and savour the moment. The swimming pool is a standout feature, complete with whirlpool jets and a counter-current swim system. A pool house with a fridge to keep drinks cool, alongside sun loungers and parasols, promise comfort in every corner.
Just a short drive from both Mouriès and Maussane-les-Alpilles, La Pierre Claire offers the best of this storied region – olive groves, limestone peaks, characterful villages, superb restaurants and markets brimming with local colour. Further afield, day trips across Provence include Saint-Rémy, Arles and the Camargue or even the beaches of the Mediterranean.
Whether you’re lingering by the pool or exploring the sun-drenched trails of Les Alpilles, this is a place where Provence unfolds at its most authentic and relaxed.
