Le Mas Des Arts Fontvieille Alpilles 8 Bedrooms 16 People

A STORY TO CALL HOME…

In the heart of the Alpilles, in Fontvieille, Mas des Arts embodies the very essence of Provençal elegance. This exceptional estate brings together an 18th-century country house (bastide) of 420 sqm and a separate Provençal farmhouse (mas), creating a rare property where heritage and the art of living blend in perfect harmony.

Discovering this estate is like turning the pages of local history. As early as the late 18th century, these lands were already devoted to olive groves, with the residence standing at the heart of the agricultural estate. Its distinctive silhouette is defined by a tower dating back to the late 15th century, once an old coaching inn and now an architectural emblem of the property.

Today, across 13 hectares of sun-drenched land, nearly 2,800 olive trees and 60 truffle oaks flourish in all their splendour, lending the landscape a sense of serene, timeless beauty.

Meticulously restored throughout, the property combines the authenticity of historic stonework with a contemporary, design-led aesthetic. The bastide opens generously onto the terraces and swimming pool, offering numerous spaces designed for sharing and entertaining: long family lunches, dinners with friends, golden-hour aperitifs and festive evenings beneath the Provençal sky.

The estate offers eight air-conditioned bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, accommodating up to sixteen guests in an intimate yet refined setting. The independent mas, fully self-contained, allows everyone to enjoy their stay at their own pace while preserving the convivial spirit of shared moments.

In the magnificent private courtyard, a well-fountain rests beneath the shade of a majestic 300-year-old hackberry tree, a protected landmark and silent guardian of the estate. A spectacular palm tree seems to embrace the façade, in harmony with vibrant bougainvillea – a reflection of the mild local climate, sheltered from the Mistral wind.

Here, time stands still. Mas des Arts is a light-filled sanctuary, designed to host precious moments and transform every stay into an exceptional memory.
