Perks for the Parents
This exceptional Provencal retreat on its own estate has beautiful large interiors, a heated, private pool, tennis courts and a children’s playground. It sleeps up to 14 + 1. The house is perfect for a large family stay with a full kitchen and family-sized dining area, plus a home cinema room and 7 bedrooms, all of generous proportions and designed for comfort. The estate feels private and tranquil and there are plenty of nooks to hide away in the very large gardens. The charming village of Eygalières is just a short drive away.
Why Kids Love it
The kids’ room is colorful with bright bed linens, colored headboards and star cushions that will appeal to boys and girls. There is a DVD collection of kids’ movies and books for children under 10. All kids will love the big lawns for running around and a boules / petanque court, the pool, the swing and cute kids’ play house. For tennis-keen kids there’s a full-size tennis court in the grounds and a private tennis coach can be arranged. A crib, high chair, baby toys and a baby bath can be provided on request.
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 7 nights during peak season, 5 nights in mid and low season. Tourist tax is not included and should be paid directly to the host on arrival (approximately 4EUR per adult per night, depending on location). The house is secured by an automatic gate. The pool is gated. There is a parking here for up to 5 cars. Car hire is strongly recommended in this area to explore and drive to villages, local restaurants etc.
About the Location
The Mas Paradis Residence is set in enclosed grounds of 2 hectares, just 5 minutes’ drive to the limestone village of Eygalières perched in the Alpilles mountains. The village has everything you might need: a small grocery store, several very good cafes and restaurants (including the Michelin-starred Chez Bru), a hairdresser, bakery, butcher, wine and cheese, and a weekly market. Local sights include the beautiful 7th-century Chapelle de Saint Sixte. Eygalières is just 15 minutes’ drive from Saint Remy de Provence and 40 minutes’ drive south of Avignon, where you’ll find a Eurostar stop. Fly to Marseille airport, approx. 1 hour away.
Accommodation Details

On the 1st floor is the kingsize master suite with ensuite bathroom, and a queensize bedroom with an ensuite shower and doors that open to the garden. All other bedrooms are on the 2nd floor accessible from 2 staircases. These are 1 kingsize with ensuite featuring a clawfoot bathtub, 1 queensize with ensuite and a kids’ room with 2 twin / single beds and a double sofabed. There is a family bathroom with shower and bath for the children. Living space include a chef’s kitchen with a dining table seating 8, a living room with a fireplace and a cinema room / snug. Outside is a private, heated pool, a terrace with outdoor seating, outdoor dining, a tennis court and large gardens.
Style Notes
Understated luxury. This beautiful traditional Provencal house is exquisitely styled with French antiques, flea market finds and vintage pieces. Old wood beams line the kitchen ceiling while the cinema room, dining space and living room are framed with beautiful whitewashed, arched stone. Cooling terracotta tiles and stone tiles run throughout the 1st floor. Designer furniture and contemporary bathrooms bring a modern counterpoint to the ancient building. Décor is carefully considered yet appears effortless. We love the clawfoot soaking tub and vintage metal cupboard in the X bathroom, the downstairs master bedroom with its leather chaise longue and angular designer armchairs, and the to-die-for pool area and gardens filled with fragrant Mediterranean plants.

Eygalières, Provence
Medieval ruins and market stalls
This pretty village in the heart of Provence is perched in the northern Alpilles mountains and has medieval ruins along with shops, restaurants and bakeries. On a Friday, market stalls selling local produce line the stone streets and draw in plenty of local visitors. It’s a charming little village and is in a great location for exploring the area, with Avignon, Arles, Aix, Saint Remy and Les Baux de Provence all under hour’s drive away.
