Le beau Mas de Rourabeau

I had a fantastic week staying at the Mas de Rourabeau. Not far from the amenities of La Tour d'Aigues (3kms), the mas offers tranquility, charm and luxury. It has been well renovated and to a very high standard. All rooms and en-suites are impeccable and decorated in the Provencal style. The kitchen is amazing with its old cellar ceiling, it has all the modern commodities. Cooking there was really enjoyable with plenty of space to turn a few meals into feasts. Outside there is a magnificent bread oven and a barbecue with a superb terrace to enjoy a glass of wine (or two for some) and a meal with views on the surrounding vineyards. I ventured making a pizza which I think turned out to be very tasty. Rourabeau is really a good spot for walking (2kms to St Martin) or cycling and exploring villages - not to forget all the local markets for local and fresh food - in the nearby vicinity (Cucuron, Ansouis, Lourmarin etc) and of course lazing around the swimming pool with a good book. At the time of my stay in May the countryside was full of red poppies, all very beautiful. The house garden is also very beautiful with large amount of pretty and colourful flowers, bushes and trees as well as olive trees. The Mas is surrounded with vineyards and has amazing views over the countryside. Unfortunately, I only stayed at the Mas de Rourabeau for a week but I could have stayed there forever! It is a fantastic retreat.
