Mas de Margoye

The main house sleeps 10 (with two bedrooms on the ground floor) and there’s an adjacent apartment for two, a wine cave with bedroom above, a separate building with a Moroccan-style bedroom and the wooden gypsy caravan. You’ll also find a pool house with summer kitchen, a leisure area with a jacuzzi, shower and day bed, then a garden room with a mini nightclub and dance floor – sound and lighting system included! So it will really suit mixed age groups and gatherings of friends.

The air-conditioned house and other spaces are supremely comfortable, but life here is about sitting around the pool on a shaded outdoor sofa, cooking in the summer kitchen, sprawling across large lawns. You can tackle boules, children have a play area and there’s a calming pond with a waterfall.

The kitchen is in the mas and has all the gear you need, the dining room seats 10 and the welcome hamper is generously stocked with wine and Provençal food.
