Mas Garrigue is the kind of Provencal property that guests spend years searching for and count themselves fortunate to have found. Situated in the rolling countryside between the Alpilles and the Luberon, in the heart of the landscape that defines southern France for much of the world, this beautifully restored traditional farmhouse provides a private and deeply comfortable base for exploring one of the most rewarding regions in all of Europe. This home is located in Eygalières and offered by The Luxury Rental.

The name garrigue refers to the wild, aromatic scrubland that covers much of the limestone hillsides of this part of France. Rosemary, thyme, cistus, and lavender grow without cultivation on every slope, filling the air with a fragrance that is essentially Provencal. Staying at Mas Garrigue means living within this landscape, waking to its scents and sounds each morning, and returning each evening through its light to a property that feels entirely at home in its surroundings.

The mas accommodates six bedrooms and up to eighteen guests, making it equally suited to a large extended family gathering and a group of friends seeking shared space without sacrificing privacy. Each bedroom has been individually appointed with the care and attention to detail that a property of this caliber demands: stone floors, whitewashed walls, fine linens, and the quiet that only true countryside can deliver. The bathrooms, all six of them, have been finished to an excellent standard with quality fittings and the kind of clean, simple elegance that complements rather than competes with the character of the mas.

The outdoor spaces are exceptional. The terrace and gardens have been landscaped with mature plantings and a sensitivity to the natural surroundings that gives the property an organic, settled feeling. A generous swimming pool provides the perfect counterpoint to long days spent exploring, its cool water inviting after morning hikes or afternoon visits to local markets. Shaded seating areas, alfresco dining spaces, and the constant background song of cicadas complete an outdoor setting that is genuinely difficult to leave.

Provencal cooking at the mas draws on the outstanding local larder: market vegetables from nearby towns, the olive oil and wines of the region, fresh herbs gathered from the garden, and the remarkable cheeses and charcuterie produced throughout this corner of France. Days in the surrounding area offer inexhaustible pleasure: the ochre villages of the Luberon, the hilltop perched villages of Les Baux and Gordes, the Roman cities of Arles and Nimes, and the lavender fields of the Valensole plateau in high summer.

The weekly antique and flea markets at Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, sometimes described as the antique capital of France, are within easy reach and provide a morning’s entertainment that is entirely unique to this part of Provence. The weekly farmers markets of Saint-Remy and Apt offer the best the region produces, making a visit to either a genuine pleasure rather than a chore. Mas Garrigue belongs to a tradition of Provencal hospitality that values authenticity above spectacle and comfort above show. The Luxury Rental is honored to present it to guests seeking a stay of genuine quality in one of the most beautiful landscapes in France.
