Rent Mas Des Anges France
Holiday Home Rental Description
Close to the charm of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, be enchanted by this Provençal mas set in a huge garden with fruit trees, wild flowers, a heated swimming pool and glorious pool house with a sauna and jacuzzi.
Air-conditioned Mas Des Anges and its annexes sleep up to 12 guests looking for character in Provence. The ground floor of the main stone house is spacious with ample room to kick back, watch TV and dine together whilst the impressive kitchen is sleek and contemporary. There are four queen-size double bedrooms and three bathrooms (two en suite) across this three-storey house. We find the ground floor double with its own rolltop bath on the conservatory-style veranda especially charming. There are two further doubles set in an annexe and maison with their own independent entrances.
The large grounds are a delight, not just because of the heated swimming pool and its poolside terrace. We also adore the pond with its bridge, waterfall and garden, the towering pine trees proudly standing on the lawns, elegant cypresses, terracotta pots, statues, lanterns and olive trees. The summer kitchen is an idyllic spot for preparing al-fresco lunches whilst the pool house’s hot tub and sauna add a touch of decadence.
L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is only 4km away, a traditional Provençal town loved for its pretty canals, antique stores, atmospheric cafes and one of the region’s best markets on a Sunday morning which showcases wonderful produce from across Provence alongside one of southern France’s most popular brocantes.
Even closer is a characterful village with an excellent auberge whilst the perched villages of the Luberon are within easy reach – hilltop Gordes, Ménerbes and Oppède le Vieux are all within a 20-minute drive. Meanwhile, head to Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, just over 5km away, for hiking in incredible surroundings alongside canoeing, kayaking, golf and tree-top adventures nearby.
Other amazing days out across Provence include artistic Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, historic Avignon, the foothills of Mont Ventoux as well as the beauty and charm of Cézanne’s beloved Aix-en-Provence, just over an hour away from Mas Des Anges.

Mas Des Anges is only 4km from Provence’s charming town of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, famed for its Sunday morning market and antique stores.
Reached via country lanes, the house and its vast garden enjoys a rural setting with a handful of neighbours and otherwise surrounded by farmland and countryside typical of this part of Provence. Within a 5-minute drive (or a leisurely cycle ride) you will reach a small yet characterful Provençal village with a grocery store, boulangerie and a couple of restaurants including a highly regarded auberge with a gorgeous terrace for summer evenings.
In the other direction is much-loved L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (4km) with its grand cathedral, atmospheric cafes, canalside restaurants and little antique shops. Visit on a Sunday morning to embrace the wonderful ambience of the bustling market where you can pick up all sorts of delicious regional produce from stalls set up by the canals alongside a fantastic brocante (flea market).
This is also a fine location for venturing into the Luberon region of France – Gordes and Ménerbes, both classified as two of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’, are reached within a 20-minute drive. Alongside the Luberon’s many iconic perched villages, discover gastronomic restaurants, pretty markets, glorious cycling opportunities, wine-tasting and idyllic walks passing orchards, vineyards, lavender fields and forests.
For a change of scene, drive through the gentle landscapes of Les Alpilles passing endless olive groves and stop off for lunch in artistic Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (34km) or the picture-perfect hilltop village of Eygalières (24km). A little further afield is the famous village of Les Baux-de-Provence (43km) with its medieval château and hilltop setting surrounded by swathes of olive trees below.
Avignon (30km) is another fine day out, home to the UNESCO World Heritage sites, Palais des Papes and Le Pont d’Avignon, whilst history lovers will also adore towns such as Orange (52km) and Arles (57km). Venturing a little further south, embrace the romance of Aix-en-Provence (67km) with its exquisite architecture, atmospheric pavement cafes and surrounding scenery that has inspired so many artists and writers over the years.
