Overview
Within striking distance of one of Provence's most idyllic villages, Mas de Roussan is an elegant 18th century farmhouse just outside St-Rémy. With four stunning bedrooms, a beautiful private pool and glorious gardens, this stylish home is ideal for friends or families looking to stay in this captivating part of southern France.
This has been a labour of love for the owners who have restored this home with great respect and have created an absolute gem. Throughout the house you will appreciate the calm ambience and minimalist style whilst so many original features have been retained such as exposed stone, tiled floors or wood beams. Contemporary features complement antique pieces as the owners combine new and old Provence so seamlessly. The four pretty bedrooms include romantic touches such as sumptuous canopies, French windows leading to Juliet balconies or luxurious bath or shower rooms.
Outside you can head to the pristine 13m long swimming pool surrounded by the stunning stone terrace or relax in a deckchair by the olive tree as you enjoy long summery afternoons in the vast and glorious gardens. Prepare feasts in the summer kitchen with its pizza oven and barbecue and enjoy al-fresco meals with friends and family as the sun sets on warm evenings and the starry sky appears.
It's a short drive or leisurely walk via country lanes to charming St-Rémy, well-known for being popular with artists including Vincent Van Gogh. In the summer months, on selected Sundays, the 'Route des Artistes' fills with local artists showing off their work creating a wonderful and bustling atmosphere. The village is also famous for its many restaurants, from down to earth bistros found on pretty narrow streets to Michelin starred establishments. Food lovers, don't miss the market on a Wednesday morning!
You are of course in the heart of this formidable area of vineyards, idyllic villages, world-renowned towns and summer landscapes of sunflowers and lavender both in Les Alpilles national park and beyond. Eygalières, Les Baux-de-Provence and Avignon are all within easy reach as well as Van Gogh's beloved Arles, mesmerising Luberon and the wonderful Camargue, which can easily be visited in a day.
Whether exploring the local markets, cycling through lavender fields or hiking through the magnificent countryside, this region is sure to offer memorable activities for all ages. At Mas de Roussan you will feel you are in the heart of the real Provence; character, charm and serenity in exquisite surroundings.

About the surrounding area of Mas De RoussanMas de Roussan is located a short drive or leisurely 20-minute walk along the country lanes to the centre of St-Rémy (1.5km), an idyllic Provençal village in the heart of Les Alpilles National Park. The village is well known for being popular with artists, many live in the area and display or sell their works of art in the village’s art galleries. The most famous artist of all has to be Vincent Van Gogh who checked himself into the asylum St Paul de Mausole, which can be visited today, and created 150 paintings including ‘Starry Night’.

Spectacular Stay at Mas de Roussan in March 2023
We rented Mas de Roussan in March 2023 based on Oliver's Travels pictures and expert advice. We wanted a charming Provencal house, close to a village, and safe as we had never traveled in the south of France. Once we made the booking, we were impressed with the level of communication and "countdown" helpful emails before the trip. There is even an Oliver's Travel App that consolidates all the information you need for your stay- including the local weather! Upon arrival, we were overwhelmed with our Mas' perfection! Pictures can not do it justice; it is someone's labor of love with very excellent taste. We were greeted by Sabrina, the property manager, who went through the house with us. She also left us with some lovely cheeses, wine, and local cookies. She gave us the directions to a large Intermarche 5 minutes away and off we went to stock our Mas with wonderful produce and goodies from the region. Mas de Roussan was a glorious experience and it will be extremely difficult to match this experience again!
