MAS SAINT-GENIÈS

Holiday Apartments in a traditional Provençal Farmhouse

    ABOUT

    ABOUT

    Mas Saint-Geniès in the Vaucluse has a rich and varied history – once the home of French novelist Robert Sabatier, it was also once a priory, silk mill and working farm dating back centuries.

     

    Now lovingly restored with traditional French olive and elm, terracotta and stone interiors, we offer two spacious well-appointed apartments each accommodating two adults - with fully-equipped kitchens and bathrooms, access to the private inner courtyard and fountain, an Orangery-style drawing room, large landscaped secluded garden, swimming pool and pool-house.

     

    Surrounded by glorious vineyards and cherry-orchards, Mas Saint Geniès is situated a stone’s throw from the magnificent hilltop village of Venasque with its 5th century Babtistry in Mont Ventoux Nature Park, and only 20 minutes from Gordes and the 12th century Abbaye de Sénanque.
