Inside Mas Citronnier Alpilles Maillane

Step through the front door and you are greeted by original stone walls, hand-hewn ceiling beams and antique floor tiles that have been carefully preserved during a meticulous renovation. On the ground floor, a spacious kitchen-diner anchors everyday life: it comes fully equipped with a fridge-freezer, oven, hob, dishwasher, coffee machine, kettle and microwave, while a generous dining table sits beside large French doors that flood the room with Provençal light and open directly onto the garden. Adjacent to the kitchen, an 18.5-square-metre living room offers deep, comfortable sofas and a Smart TV, creating a relaxed space for evening films or quiet afternoons with a book. A guest WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the sleeping quarters continue the home’s elegant rustic aesthetic. The principal bedroom features a king-size bed, air conditioning and an en-suite shower room, offering a private sanctuary at the end of each sun-soaked day. A second double bedroom and a twin bedroom share a well-appointed family bathroom, making the layout ideal for families or small groups travelling together. A fourth bedroom on the upper level provides additional flexibility, and every room benefits from air conditioning to ensure cool, restful nights during the warmer months. Throughout, the interplay of exposed stone, warm timber and soft neutral textiles creates a refined yet welcoming atmosphere that feels distinctly rooted in its Provençal surroundings.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The walled garden at Mas Citronnier Alpilles Maillane is a private haven where the scent of lavender and citrus drifts through the air. A heated swimming pool takes centre stage, its turquoise water framed by sun loungers and Mediterranean planting, while a dedicated spa and sauna area allows you to unwind completely after a day exploring the countryside. A built-in barbecue and shaded outdoor dining area make al fresco meals effortless: picture long lunches beneath the dappled shade of a lemon tree, glasses of local rosé catching the light. Private parking within the property grounds ensures convenience and security. Beyond the garden walls, the gentle terrain of the Alpilles beckons cyclists and walkers, and a tennis court is available on site for those who want to stay active.
