Lou Mas Di Rabassaire

This lovely old stone property was built in 1820 on the Dominitian Way and stands in beautiful gardens with mature trees and exotic plants. The accommodation is in two separate, self contained units, ideal for two families holidaying together. The rooms have exposed stone walling and oak beams and the farmhouse-style dining room has an 18th-century stone fireplace. The holiday property is a short stroll from the historic and famous town centre of St. Rémy-de-Provence and the Abbaye of St. Paul where Van Gogh spent the last years of his life. Wander through the ancient alleyways, visit the bustling Wednesday market and the impressive Roman remains at Glanum on the way to Les Baux-de-Provence (7km). Nearby, Arles is renowned for its impressive variety of Roman and medieval monuments such as the 2000-year-old arena. The discreet owner lives to the rear of the property in an apartment wing, but has her own private entrance and does not overlook the garden or pool.
