Inside Mas Lavande Paradou Maussane

Step through the main entrance and into 125 square metres of thoughtfully designed living space that balances contemporary comfort with the warm, rustic character of Provence. The open-plan living area is bathed in natural light, with large glass doors that open directly onto an upper terrace, blurring the boundary between indoors and out. Soft furnishings in muted, earthy tones complement exposed stone and wood detailing, creating an atmosphere that feels both sophisticated and welcoming.

Adjacent to the living room, the dining area flows seamlessly into a well-equipped side kitchen, where quality appliances and ample counter space make meal preparation a pleasure rather than a chore. Whether you are assembling a simple lunch with fresh produce from the village market or preparing a multi-course dinner with local wines, the kitchen has everything you need. The dining table comfortably seats six, and the open layout means the cook is never separated from the conversation.

Three elegantly appointed bedrooms provide restful sanctuary after long days of exploration. The principal bedroom features a generous double bed, quality linens, and direct access to the terrace views. The remaining bedrooms are equally inviting, each decorated with a keen eye for colour and texture that reflects the surrounding Provençal countryside. Two well-maintained bathrooms serve the property, finished with modern fixtures and stocked with essential amenities to ensure a comfortable stay from the moment you arrive.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The outdoor areas at Mas Lavande Paradou Maussane are designed for slow, sun-soaked days. The heated swimming pool sits at the heart of the garden, surrounded by a generous terrace with loungers positioned to catch the Provençal sun from morning to evening. Because the pool is heated, you can enjoy a refreshing swim well beyond the peak summer months, extending your season of outdoor pleasure into spring and autumn.

An upper terrace, accessible from the living room, provides a sheltered spot for al fresco dining with views over rooftops and the gentle green hills of the Alpilles. Morning coffee here, with the sound of cicadas and the scent of lavender drifting through the air, sets the tone for a day of relaxation. The garden itself is planted with Mediterranean species that thrive in the warm climate, adding colour and fragrance to every corner. For those who enjoy dining outdoors, a shaded area near the pool is ideal for long lunches under the Provence sky.
