Maison Bonnieux

Overview

As the workers nurture and cajole their crops in preparation for the harvest, guests may languish in the rose-scented gardens, dipping in and out of the pool, occasionally retreating to a shaded corner with a good book and maybe a glass of the estate's rosé. The 'mas' accommodation has been fully modernised, is comfortable, practical and spaciously arranged, divided between the main house, with five bedrooms and a guest cottage with a further bedroom (on request).

In addition to the formal dining area in the main house, there are several delightful outdoor terraces for dining al fresco.The main terrace is well-positioned off the kitchen, with views over the estate, a second terrace, near the pool, is well-lit for longer evening meals.The swimming pool, which is a salt water pool and can be heated, measures 12 x 6m and is fitted with a security alarm.
