Mas Hautes Garrigues

A truly special place, calm, spacious, with different sitting areas should you wish to break off into smaller groups or have some quiet time to chill. The kitchen is very well equipped & the summer kitchen is a dream to sit in. The garden & pool area are stunning, beautifully maintained, private, with amazing plants & the most magical & captivating very old tree. Every room is comfortable & the thick walls offer a cool retreat from the heat. The area around the house has a ‘Real France’ atmosphere of vineyards & fruit trees but plenty of options for shops & restaurants in easy driving distance.

After a fabulous holiday here 6 years ago, we had always promised ourselves a return trip. Everything was as wonderful as we remembered - if not better! The house was spotlessly clean, from the bathrooms to the glorious & well-equipped kitchen. High quality bed linen & comfortable beds ensured a great night’s sleep for all. We loved lazy days on the terrace by the pool, & it was fun to play table tennis, badminton, & boules. Evenings are magical. The extensive gardens are peaceful and beautifully lit. There are so many places to sit outside and enjoy the quintessentially Provençale atmosphere.

We were family of 10 and had the most wonderful week in this traditional Provencal house. Big and very private garden and the pool is larger than it looks from the photographs which was a real bonus and caused huge excitement for 4 small people on arrival. Excellent Sunday Broccante in Carpentras and Monday market in St Didier. Annexe by the pool was perfect for a dip before breakfast, and before bed. So special - just wish we were still there.

We celebrated our parent's 80th birthday here as a three generation family trip. Worked perfectly for us all. The separate pool house was ideal for one couple whilst parents and children were in the main house. The property and gardens are large so loads of space for badminton, table tennis, eating al fresco and mostly playing and relaxing around the pool. This area was fab, loads of loungers and parasols. The kids, and adults, loved the heated pool. Quite a rural setting but very peaceful and only a short drive to shops, bakeries, great restaurants and markets. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay in Mas Hautes Garrigues. We were two families, with four children between 5 and 8, and it was the perfect to keep them entertained and occupied even in very hot weather. The pool and gardens are beautiful, and the house is lovely. It has a very well equipped kitchen, and lots of great spots to eat in and sit in depending on the time of day.

The house and garden are just fabulous. So French, so Provence, beautifully furnished and well-equipped. We wanted for nothing there. We were blessed with near-perfect weather so explored the local area in the mornings (mostly on foot) and relaxed by the pool in the afternoons. Maintained at a steady 29 degrees, the water was perfect. We enjoyed baguettes and croissants from the local St Didier boulangerie for breakfast, and tried two of Simon & Karen's recommended restaurants for dinner. Both of which were amazing. No firm plans yet but we hope to return next year!

The most magical stay - WOW! Truly the experience of a lifetime. The beauty of the house and garden take your breath away. The interior styling is chic while feeling very homely, with so much space. The perfect place to lounge around and do nothing, play games and activities and host long dinners. St Didier is nearby and great for mooching around, although equally you could never leave this house and be very happy. For any celebration or get together with family or friends, you won’t find a better place.

My partner and I stayed for a wonderful week at Mas Hautes Garrigues in July. The setting is beautiful and secluded in lush gardens, it felt so private and the pool was perfect for sunbathing and pool games. We also loved having so many options for areas to eat and entertain guests on the property our favourite being the summer kitchen for lunches and evening bbqs! There was lots to do in the surrounding area, we particularly enjoyed kayaking and gorge walking as well as the weekend market in Carpentras and drinks overlooking the views from Venasque both within 15minutes of the house.

The house is so beautiful - it was such a treat to be there. The kitchen has everything you could think to need and with 4 different tables - every meal was a new experience. The beds were super comfortable, the showers had brilliant pressure and lovely fluffy towels. The garden is so peaceful - with a brilliant pool and a table tennis table room, where we spent many happy hours. We loved walking into Saint Didier each morning to collect our croissants and the farmers market on Monday was a treat. We loved the water activities in the local area. We would love to come back again.

This was a truly special place. The house and pool house were so nicely decorated and furnished. All the beds were comfortable. The garden and pool area are stunning and we had a great time in the pool and around the pool. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. We ate outside lots and used the barbecue. We also enjoyed playing table tennis in the games room. Such a lovely place in this beautiful part of France that we hadn’t explored before. We will definitely be back!

We had a week at Mas Hautes Garrigues last June. The house and garden are fabulous - very Provence. We really liked the privacy of the place, the layout of the house, and that it was so well-equipped. The pool was very welcome on those hot afternoons. We really loved the place.

We had a fabulous family holiday, the house and gardens are stunning and peaceful. We all enjoyed the pool and couldn't keep the kids out! Will definitely return.

Are you looking for a traditional Provencal farmhouse with thoughtful interior design? Tick. An azure blue swimming pool large enough that you can actually swim in it? Tick. Extensive and mature grounds with copious shady spots amongst beautiful green trees and room for children to run and play? Tick. Total privacy? Tick. A beautiful wine region with mountain views/climbs and picture perfect hilltop villages. Tick. Mas Hautes Garrigues is all of this and more and most appreciably a wonderfully tranquil setting to simply enjoy as a family.

Beautiful house with all you could need and more. Options of where to eat, space for peace and quiet and also big dinners. Favourite thing was the pizza oven! Walking distance to lovely little town. Over hiring e-bikes and cycling in the valley and between vineyards. Great wine and cheese area.

This is a true home from home: beds are incredibly comfortable, linen is the highest quality; the pool is a delight, and the garden and Summer kitchen lovely. There are lots of amazing walks close by - Mont Ventoux is worth the drive. beautiful towns like Pernes a short drive away too, and boulangeries, a butcher, grocers and restaurants in the closet town, St Didier. The beauty of this part of Provence is that it is REAL, and there are barely any tourists here so one gets a true French experience. So much to explore but more importantly, the beautiful house is waiting for your return.

If you want to explore inland Provence from a base of comfort and character then this is an ideal place. The pool is large and the garden vast with many shady corners to recline and relax. Outdoor living at its best. Beyond, markets, restaurants and vineyards beckon as does nearby Mt Ventoux for those who want a cycling challenge. Outdoor summer concerts, opera and dance are plentiful as are Roman ruins and other historic sites. You'll leave wanting more! Ideal for large families or group of friends.

We visited for 5 days in early October, the weather was perfect and the house was gorgeous. Full of character, it was an ideal place to get away from the city, we especially loved the variety of places to sit to eat, breakfast outside, lunch in the summer kitchen and then cosy dinners in the house. The beds were extremely comfortable! The area provided lots of activities; kayak trips with Kayak Vert in Fontaine, Sunday market in Carpentras and dinner at the vineyard Domaine La Camarette. All in all a great trip and will be returning next year, highly recommended!

Loved everything about our holiday in this quintessentially Provençale house. Comfortable mattresses, beautiful framed beds, with white linen and fluffy towels. Light and airy kitchen is very well-equipped with a Nespresso machine. The outside space at this house is even more generous than the website photos suggest. The pool is huge and surrounded by gorgeous pine, olive and almond trees. Would recommend this house as a fantastic base from which to explore the area. We found it hard to tear ourselves away from the relaxing ambience - we definitely want to rent this house again in the future!
