Bed Breakfast Provence : Located in Jonquières 6 miles from Orange antique theater, and 20 minutes from Avignon in the heart of Popes's Provence and Northern sunny Vaucluse.
The Mas du Clos de l'Escarrat ( "Mas" means "farm" in Provence ) is a lovely old stone farm house, of typical Provençal style, which incorporates buildings dating back to the 17th Century. This bed and breakfast has been carefully renovated to preserve its authentic, rustic character and charm, without compromising the need for modern comfort in all the accommodations.
The Mas is surrounded entirely by farmland and is remarkably peaceful and secluded. The owners, Charles and Andrée Barail, both speak excellent English. They occupy the main house, and there are two self-contained studio apartments and two separate, larger two bedroom apartments available for guests. All four guest apartments have private watercloset, shower, color TV and kitchen facilities.
Breathtaking view over Ventoux Mount. Comfortable self-catering accommodations. Lots of tourism and visits in Provence. Beautiful landscapes and lavender fields. These accommodations are located near Avignon, Chateauneuf du Pape. Tour the wine route with us and enjoy unforgettable wine tasting of Cotes du Rhone wines.
The very fast TGV train reaches Avignon from Paris in only 2 hours 40 minutes and from CDG airport in 3 hours. Read TripAdvisor reviews about Mas du Clos de l'Escarrat as well as Concierge (Conde Nast) : QUOTE : "If Charles and Andrée Barail's B&B in a 17th-century stone mas surrounded by unruly flowerbeds, lawns, and gravel terraces shaded by mature trees isn't your Provençal rural fantasy come to life, then you've got the wrong picture. The farmhouse itself has breathtaking views over acres of Rhône vineyards to Mount Ventoux in the distance. Four self-contained apartments (two studios and a pair of two-bed cottages) are decorated in that French Country style of pickled pine and dressers and rag-rolled walls so frequently and desperately imitated stateside, and have kitchens, efficient showers, comfortable beds, TVs, and Wi-fi. Air conditioning was installed in the studios in 2007; the cottages get enough breeze that you won't need it. Breakfast is continental, but superior, with products such as homemade wild fig conserve. There's also a bromide-purified pool with a wave machine for serious cross-current swimming. Being some 20 minutes from Avignon, this makes a good touring base, especially for wine buffs. Given notice, Charles Barail himself will take guests on Châteauneuf-du-Pape tours, visiting his vintner friends you'd never find alone."UNQUOTE |
