Le Mas de La Baou - Self-catering apartments in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence
Rue du Pont Romain, 04280 Cereste-en-Luberon, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence
Provence - Alps - Riviera,
Francia
Lavender fields are the backdrop to this Provençal mas; cicadas and birdsong the soundtrack. A fortified medieval farm, its high stone walls and rocky bluff now enclose the owners' house and three eco-friendly gîtes that gaze south and west to the village. Bastide and Fenière are the family cottages, with large living areas, geothermal heating and corner kitchens. Bastide has wicker chairs, shelves sunk into chunky stone walls, a vine-shaded terrace; Fenière, up in the hayloft, has sweeping views and a cast-iron table under a chestnut. Simple bedrooms have floaty curtains, Provençal paintings, plain furniture; a touch of luxury in king-size beds and shiny bathrooms (only one in Bastide). For couples there's L'Etable, a rustic studio whose mint-green doors frame views of terrace, gardens and deep (but fenced) natural pool. Also: a solar shower, hammock and electric barbecue for grilling sausages from the village market. Beyond, a sleepy stream with a hump-backed 'Roman' bridge, a new cycle path, farms, fêtes and inspiration for painters and poets in Luberon natural park – gentle Alain and Françoise will advise.

Local points of interest from Alain & Françoise Alter:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Alain & Françoise Alter:
- Think that Provence, especially Luberon, no longer needs to be described? We bet we can make you discover a more authentic and unknown Provence. Beautiful sceneries, quiet old villages (sometimes in ruins), amazing "bories", Roman and Gallic vestiges...
- Do you like walking through the thousand scents of the Mediterranean scrubland? You won't have time, in a week or even two, to enjoy all the trails we will advise you to walk. You'll want to come back!
- Swimming in our natural pool surrounded by flowers, is a rare treat. You will feel the true purity of water without chemicals, and you will see the small animals that live in plants: frogs, tadpoles, dragonflies ... Your kids will love it for sure!
- There are European beavers dams on the creek near our home.
- The discovery of ocher mines and superb trails between orange cliffs will be a highlight of your stay.
