From a separate outside staircase you reach the second floor with a small sitting room with TV and fire place.There are also the 2 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms in suite .
All tensions dissolves as you gaze into the infinite sky and breath the fresh air of this pristine natural setting.

Provence and especialy our lettle village of Buoux is such an pleasant place to live that we were wondering why not sharing this place with others.
Every thing is there...

If you like culture there are so many museums, monuments to see: Pope castle in Avignon, Roman ruins in Arles , Saint Remy de provence, typical provençal villages, the town of Aix en Provence with its lettle streets, bars and old houses etc...
And all that in a secure area, with a nice and sunny weather, not any dangerous animals...and interesting people to meet!!

Owner's Map of Buoux
After 15 years spent in Paris for business, Mathilde and I were so happy to start a new life in 1990 in Provence country side.
We can now enjoy nature far away from the rushing life of Paris....
On our estate (120 acres) we grow Lavender and truffles oak trees and of course we manage our two stony houses restored a few years ago.

Wonderful place to relax

This property looks exactly the same as the pictures. We only stayed for a week but had such a wonderful time we could have stayed for a month. It is very peaceful and quiet yet not far from several interesting places to visit. The house is very clean and the property is immaculately maintained. The owner speaks excellent English and was very helpful. I would highly recommend this property.
Owner response:Thank you Kristi and George!! Yes, Mathilde and I are happy to speak English. By experience we understand that it allow us to help our guest as well as possible. It must be Mathilde' s Belgium blood but she is very "touchy" to offer to our guests a nice and clean house!!!

Sehr ruhige Lage, wunderschön, manchmal schlenderte ein Wildschwein über den Rasen. Der Pool ist sehr gut, schön gemacht. Der Vermieter ist professionel, kümmert sich sofort, wenn etwas sein sollte.

MAS CÔTÉ SUD dépasse les attentes qui sont générées par la vue des photos. Tout est parfait, parsemé de délicates attentions pour le confort des locataires. Rien ne manque dans la cuisine ou ailleurs, nous avons tout ce qu’il faut pour cuisiner ou se sécher les cheveux. La propreté et l'entretien des lieux sont impeccables. L’environnement extérieur est d’une rare sérénité et d’une extraordinaire beauté. Il ne faut surtout pas oublier nos chaussures de marche car même les novices comme nous se laissent emporter par le plaisir de la randonnée sur les sentiers du domaine. Notre séjour de 3 semaines fut un réel bonheur. Merci à Mathilde et Bernard qui sont des gens très accueillants et attentifs à nos besoins.
Owner response:Un grand Merci Lison. Rien ne nous fais plus plaisir que de bonnes vacances pour nos "guests". Nous souhaitons avoir encore beaucoup de vacanciers aussi chaleureux et sympathiques. Bien à vous. Bernard&Mathilde.

We stayed at Cote Sud for 2 weeks in October with 2 other couples. We had a wonderful stay and loved our rural retreat. The villa has plenty of room with 3 bedrooms and it was great to each have our own bathroom. The weather was beautiful and it was so nice to come home from a day of sightseeing and relax on our terrace with a nice glass of French wine and admire the stunning views across the valley. Bernard and Mathilde were wonderful hosts and always friendly and helpful, with lots of good suggestions for touring, walks or delicious restaurants to sample. Some nights we cooked in the well equiped kitchen from produce gathered at local markets. We ate at all the restaurants in Buoux and highly recommend them all. The area has lovely walks from the villa and the valley is so peaceful and beautiful, we have such lovely photos and memories of our stay. Thank you for your kind hospitality
Owner response:Thank you very much Rosemary.We hope also to have many others guests as friendly as you and your friends were . Very best regards.Bernard & Mathilde

We went 2 weeks in September, much better period than I thought it would be: nice weather and no crowd! The farmhouse was very clean, fully furnished (incl bed for our baby) with a lovely interior. We also enjoyed the stunning view of the valley... We still have great memories of our horse rides experience in the Luberon!!
Owner response:Thank you very much Viki, Mathilde will be happy to hear that you appreciate her work!! You had a great idea to come after the summer to enjoy one of the best period at a cheaper price!! Best regards. Bernard

We had a wonderful week in early May. The location and setting of the house is fabulous and must surely be one of the most stunning in this part of Provence. There's plenty to do and see locally, and there are some lovely walks from the property up into the Luberon hills. The accomodation was clean, comfortable, quiet and relaxing, with some great views. Bernard was an excellent host and our stay was a very memorable one.
Owner response:Dear Ian and Lorraine, Thank you so much for your review. It is right that Domaine de Marrenon is a very special spot and that around there is so much to do and see (typical Provence villages, Pope castle in Avignon, Aix en Provence and museums, 12th century Fort in Buoux etc...) that often our guest have to come back after just a week stay !!!... Best regards. Bernard
