Holiday Home Rental Description
Just a short drive from one of Provence’s prettiest hilltop villages, Le Mas des Lauries is a charming home in the countryside near Eygalières.
This enchanting Provençal farmhouse is warm and welcoming with an elegant yet eclectic style and a rustic and characterful atmosphere throughout.

There are six pretty bedrooms and bathrooms across the main house and a separate Maisonette, making it a perfect base for friends or family wanting to enjoy the authenticity of a lovely home.
Dip into the inviting swimming pool to cool off on long summer afternoons, then drink good local wine with friends as you dine al-fresco, surrounded by white laurel as well as olive trees so typical of this glorious region full of green valleys, olive groves and vineyards.
