Mas de Baubesse: Paradise in Provence

Рай в Провансе? Почему бы и нет. Место исключительно уединенное и живописное. За спиной горные уступы заповедника les Alpilles, а прямо перед глазами виноградники и оливковые рощи Прованса до самого горизонта. В ясную погоду можно даже разглядеть побережье. До Les Baux de Provence можно при желании дойти пешком, до ближайшей деревни Maussane 3-4 километра, с машиной это считанные минуты пути. Дом солидный, основательный, просторный и, будь у меня больше опыта наверное, можно было бы сказать, что это типичный mas provencale. Впрочем, интерьеры таких домов я видел только на картинках, поэтому то, что мы увидели, иначе чем дом-музей XVIII-XIX века и не назовешь. Колоссальных размеров библиотека, огромный камин во всю стену, фортепьяно, картины, подсвечники и вместе с этим вся необходимая современная техника - холодильник с льдогенератором, посудомоечная, стиральная, кофе-машина. На участке вместительный чистый бассейн с подогревом и подсветкой. Хозяин Ниссим - гостеприимный и доброжелательный, дал много полезных советов и даже сварил борщ!

We booked the beautiful villa Baubesse near les Baux de Provence for a week's relaxing getaway and the pictures didn't do it justice. The setting is stunning, nestled in the foothills of the Alpilles with a view stretching to the Camargue. The owner Nissim couldn't have been more hospitable! So we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Every day we would walk in the Alpilles on tracks from the villa and relax by the pool in the afternoons. Nearby St Remy is worth a visit and can be reached on foot or by bus. There are lots of good restaurants nearby too but eating while enjoying the view was too good to pass up. All in all it was the highlight of our holiday and one of the nicest villas we have stayed in for some time. We would happily return.

We love this place the views and the countryside make this a very special area of outstanding beauty Beautiful swimming pool and solitude means this place is very special We have had the best of times here and hope to have many more

Our time at this wonderful house in Les Baux was fantastic. The bedrooms, the fireplace, the morning view from the patio as we ate croissants, the heated pool as the sun dropped over the hill side… all were just beyond belief. It made our time in the South of France the very best of a vacation. Another great part of this house was the genuine ..”right at home” feeling we got as we walked through the door We spent a week here and having a fully stocked kitchen at our disposal was a huge plus. Nissim, the wonderful gentlemen who owns the house, was friendly, helpful, and gave us fantastic service on several occasions. He helped with directions… gave suggestions on places to dine… and even calling in a restaurant reservation for us. I work in a hotel as a food and beverage manager… and the customer service we received here was beyond perfect !!!

We returned to Baubesse in September, 2014, and loved every minute, as we did two years prior. The location of the villa is awesome: a beautiful stone house with tall cliffs on two sides, looking down on a magnificent valley in the distance. There are well placed patios for dining and viewing the scenery, a great pool, and endless trails that lead to splendid vistas for the adventurous. The villa is extremely comfortable with a number of recent improvements such as new beds. The kitchen is well stocked in modern appliances and cooking tools. as well as popular coffeemakers. We easily fell into a pattern of making short day trips to amazing sites, while relishing days of total relaxation at Baubesse. Les Baux, St. Remy, Arles, Avignon and many more historic places are nearby. Restaurants in the area, particularly in Maussane, have gotten better and better, we loved Le Clos Saint Roch. Nearby wineries, olive oil mills, and markets make fresh Provencial foods within a few minutes drive. Nissim, the villa's owner, continues to be the perfect host. He has wide knowledge about local happenings, art galleries and museums, eateries and markets. He is a pleasant and wonderful resource, taking great care of his guests, and generously offering a reduced rate to returning guests. And who doesn't want to return to Paradise?!
