Discover the charm and authenticity of the mas de Provence
In Provence, in south-east France, just like the white houses in Greece or the "trulli" in Puglia, the mas is considered to be the typical traditional Provencal dwelling. It is also sometimes referred to as a bastide or villa.
Originally, a mas was a large manor house or farm used for farming. It is a building constructed with poor materials, found on site but requiring a lot of labour. The walls are very thick and made of pebbles or local stone salvaged from the surrounding fields.
Farmhouses generally face due south. To protect against the temperatures, which are very hot in summer and very cold in winter, the openings on the north side are rare or narrower.
This traditional dwelling bears witness to the region's exceptional know-how and is now sought-after as a holiday home for its authenticity and traditional materials.
Farmhouses with swimming pool
A holiday in Provence means a holiday by the pool!
A swimming pool is an essential part of any holiday in Provence. Choosing a mas with a swimming pool is an excellent option, especially if you prefer the peace and privacy of the pool to beaches swarming with tourists.
It's also an opportunity to spend your holidays in a traditional home, with its authentic charm and raw materials, while enjoying all the modern comforts you wouldn't want to do without.
If you're staying a little further inland, choosing a mas with a swimming pool is ideal, as having access to a water source in a region where it's very hot in summer is the main criterion.
Renting a mas with swimming pool is also the guarantee of a successful holiday with family or friends, surrounded by vines, cork oaks and olive trees.
Spending your holidays in a mas (traditional farmhouse) with a swimming pool means spending long days by the pool, sharing long lunches or dinners in the shade of the trees, listening to the song of the cicadas, watching the sunset...
