Country-house Mas Antolia for 12 persons

The house is located down the mountain range called ‘Alpilles’in a priviledged natural and classified area, and less than 5 minutes drive from the historical old village called Eygalières, perched on the rocks. Eygalières is at 10mn from the famous St Remy de Provence and 30 minutes south of the city of Avignon. St Remy has its own air of quiet chic, elegant shops and a number of restaurants, little squares with old fountains, shady cafes terraces. In the surroundings, the Alpilles chain of mountains forms both a striking and a harmonious picture. It is also the landscape favoured by famous painters such as Van Gogh, Cézanne and Matisse who came here to capture the extraordinary light and colour of the region. It is also a rich agricultural area with rolling plains of fruit orchards, olives groves and all variety of Mediterranean vegetables. It is alive with the sound of chirping crickets and the intoxicating aromas of a multitude of wild herbs...

This area is the ‘Provence of the Rhone’ and has a strong Roman heritage. The famous ruins of Glanum -an archeological site from the first century BC- are nearby. From there it is only a short drive through the hills to Les Baux de Provence, an ancient village perched high on the rocks, once one of the most celebrated and brilliant of the troubadour courts of love in the Middle Ages, now romantically ghostly.

The villa is also at the centre of the Baux de Provence and Côteaux d'Aix vineyards and not far from Châteauneuf du Pape. The closest highway is the A7 (exit Cavaillon) 15 minutes drive away, which goes from Lyon to Marseille with connections for all major cities of the south-east of France.The closest train station is at Avignon and is served by the TGV (Train Grande Vitesse, i.e. high speed train) that goes to Paris in 2 hours and 40 minutes! The closest airport is Avignon as well with daily flights to Paris. But most international connections are made through the international airports of Marseille-Marignane or Paris-Charles de Gaulle.
