About this house rental

Set in fifteen acres, Baubesse nestles in the beautiful Alpilles hills close to Les Baux-de-Provence, an ancient village perched high on a crag, a short drive from St-Rémy-de-Provence. The area is a mecca for ramblers, joggers and cyclists.

Rentals are from Saturday to Saturday, in the French tradition.

Stay in a 400-year old stone house converted to artist's residence, rustic, full of character & charm. Relax by the swimming pool surrounded by cypress trees & an orchard of olive trees with amazing views stretching to the Mediterranean. Quiet, private, secluded. A garden full of flowers with a barbecue grill & tables for long happy meals with friends & family. Come share the magic & serenity, explore the region's architectural and cultural marvels.

Retreat from the everyday stress and surrender your senses to the sounds and smells of Provence: birdsong, cicadas, rosemary, thyme and lavender. Treat yourself to gourmet meals from local markets and restaurants, walk in the olive grove and the many trails in nearby hills and forest preserves.

The house is surrounded by pine and mulberry trees, cypresses and oaks with wonderful views on all sides. Behind is a fine olive grove and in front, the view stretches over unspoiled countryside to where the Mediterranean can be glimpsed on the horizon. Barely a mile away lies the brand new Domaine de Manville golf course. The garden around the secluded swimming pool is surrounded by a wild mountain landscape. The infinity pool is heated for swimming from April to October. In your deck chair you can see the cliffs of Les Baux.

Five minutes away by car you can pick up fresh croissants, and local fruits and vegetables in the village of Maussane. The vibrant village has a prize-winning greengrocer, fishmonger, butchers and bakers, as well as a bank, a post office, hairdressers and convenience stores. The main square is lined with shady plane trees and packed with restaurants, and café terraces to sip a pastis or eat a pizza. A local winery (Mas de la Dame) and an olive oil producer (Castelas) are just moments away. Almost every day of the week there is a farmers market in one of the nearby villages where you will find local produce, honey and handicrafts.

Les Baux is right in the heart of Provence, ideally positioned for short excursions and day trips. It is a short distance away and well worth a visit to see the magnificent ruins of the medieval château and the world-famous Carriere des Lumieres sound and light show. The beautiful winding walk through the ancient village to the promontory passes by many tempting boutiques.
Behind Les Baux in the Val d’Enfer is the five-star hotel and restaurant L’Oustau de Baumanière where you can go for an aperitif before heading back to cook your barbecue at Baubesse.

The nearby town of Arles hosts a world-class international photography festival every Summer, with hundreds of galleries, performance spaces and pop-up restaurants, medieval ruins and a Roman coliseum. Avignon has an important theater festival and the fabulous Palais des Papes. The Mediterranean and the Camargue are less than an hour's drive, Marseille just over an hour. You can also visit the Pont du Gard, Aigues-Mortes and other historic and architectural marvels.
Airports: Marseille (MRS) & Nîmes. Trains: Avignon TGV & Nîmes Pont du Gard TGV, Arles.

Рай в Провансе? Почему бы и нет. Место исключительно уединенное и живописное. За спиной горные уступы заповедника les Alpilles, а прямо перед глазами виноградники и оливковые рощи Прованса до самого горизонта. В ясную погоду можно даже разглядеть побережье. До Les Baux de Provence можно при желании дойти пешком, до ближайшей деревни Maussane 3-4 километра, с машиной это считанные минуты пути. Дом солидный, основательный, просторный и, будь у меня больше опыта наверное, можно было бы сказать, что это типичный mas provencale. Впрочем, интерьеры таких домов я видел только на картинках, поэтому то, что мы увидели, иначе чем дом-музей XVIII-XIX века и не назовешь. Колоссальных размеров библиотека, огромный камин во всю стену, фортепьяно, картины, подсвечники и вместе с этим вся необходимая современная техника - холодильник с льдогенератором, посудомоечная, стиральная, кофе-машина. На участке вместительный чистый бассейн с подогревом и подсветкой. Хозяин Ниссим - гостеприимный и доброжелательный, дал много полезных советов и даже сварил борщ!

This property has soul, and Nissim is the perfect guardian. We have just left and our children (ages 6 and 11) are already asking when we will return. We all immediately felt right at home. Nissim went above and beyond to make sure that we were well taken care of, but also left with enough space and privacy to discover our own Provence. For our first night, he made us a dinner reservation at a wonderful small restaurant in town (Fleur de Thym) and took my husband into town for a quick overview of his favorite shops and restaurants. And on the last day, he came by the house with fresh croissants, a baguette for the road, and a New York Times. That was such a thoughtful gesture, and so welcomed. The kitchen and linen closets were fully stocked and there was not one thing that we wanted that the house didn't have. In fact, there were many family friendly surprises that the home came with that we didn't expect, including a ping pong table, pool toys, boules, and a piano. The beds were all very comfortable, especially those pillows! Note that while you can walk to town (a hearty walk) you will need a car to access anything beyond that. Also, while the weather in the summer is generally hot and dry, the Mistral wind can kick in and really cool things off. We were happy to make a fire and settle in with books. Highlights of our time here included: - Castle at Les Baux - Les Carrieres de Lumieres - Evenings on the square in Maussane - Hike in Les Alpilles - Boat ride to Les Calanques in Cassis - La Course Camarguaise in Arles - Pool time and the VIEWS from the house! The only thing that we regret is that we only stayed one week. We look forward to returning. Thank you, thank you Nissim!

We booked the beautiful villa Baubesse near les Baux de Provence for a week's relaxing getaway and the pictures didn't do it justice. The setting is stunning, nestled in the foothills of the Alpilles with a view stretching to the Camargue. The owner Nissim couldn't have been more hospitable! So we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Every day we would walk in the Alpilles on tracks from the villa and relax by the pool in the afternoons. Nearby St Remy is worth a visit and can be reached on foot or by bus. There are lots of good restaurants nearby too but eating while enjoying the view was too good to pass up. All in all it was the highlight of our holiday and one of the nicest villas we have stayed in for some time. We would happily return.
