Exceptional property 5 *combining authenticity and prestigious amenities-Jacuzzi

We were there for a family wedding, I took my family from New York for the first time in the area and it was beyound everyone expectations... the house is magnificent and percfect for sharing beautiful moment yet everyone has a sense of privacy. The garden the pool and the view are breathtaking. The caretaker is great and very helpful. We will come back !

We had an excellent stay at Mas de Gil. When we arrived we were overcome with the fact that the property is even more beautiful in reality than it is in the pictures!

The Mas was prepared to the highest standards, with each room being decorated in a very tasteful way.

The owner has clearly taken time to ensure that the property really does live up to expectations. Stephane, the property manager was incredibly helpful, with no question being too much to ask.

The views of the Alpilles are just as the information states, uninterrupted and always beautiful.

We would thoroughly recommend Mas de Gil!

We recently stayed in Mas de Gilles for two weeks and it did not disappoint! There were six adults in our group and it was just perfect! The location is wonderful....quiet and rural, yet close to the Village Center. The house is situated so that one has a view of the Alpilles mountains from every room in the house. The landscaping is stunning, with olive trees, lavender, hydrangeas, fig trees and grape vines. The interior of the villa is simply gorgeous. The building materials used are top quality and the home is extremely well maintained. The kitchen is very well equipped with high end appliances and and everything you need to prepare and serve some great meals. The bedroom and bathrooms are lovely and very comfortable. Linens and towels are high quality and the decor is beautiful and tasteful. Stephane, the property manager was friendly, helpful and just a phone call away. The welcome basket was a very nice touch and greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend this villa for your visit to Provence. Merci!

I had read all the reviews about this property and seen the pictures which looked amazing but the photos do not do it justice, one of the rare times I can say that a home is more beautiful in reality. The property is immaculate, extremely well appointed and beautifully decorated with paintings, vases, and knick knacks that gave us the impression that we were staying in someone's house and not a rented one. The bedrooms are large and bright and the beds very comfortable. We were 4 couples all of whom love to cook. The kitchen was fully equipped, including extras such as spices, herbs, vinegars which we were not expecting. All the equipment is modern and of the best quality. The view from the kitchen is over the Appilles mountains in the near distance and to watch the sun rise and fall each day was a joy. The owners go out of their way to be helpful and any queries we had were answered immediately. If they are not available they have someone who lives nearby who responds rapidly. There is a book at the entrance of the house with local suggestions for food shopping all of which we tried and found to be excellent. There are pamphlets and books scattered throughout the house describing the things to do in the area which we happily used. The house is located at the end of a short dirt road. The garden is large and one has the impression that we are alone, there is no noise at all. Yet we were only a 5 minute drive from a great bakery that unlike most in France stays open all day every day. The town of St Remy is 6 minutes away. The house is set close to the most renowned beautiful little villages of Provence, so we were able to explore each day a different area of Provence. Coming back to the house at the end of a day was in itself an event we all looked forward to. There is a ping pong table, decks of cards, pétanque in the driveway, and a great pool to swim in, salt instead of clorine which was a bonus. And to welcome us when we arrived a great basket filled with items from the region. We all highly recommend this house to anyone going to Provence, I can't imaging finding anything better. We are all thinking we should repeat this trip in the near future, there are still many things to do and see in the region. Thank you Beatrice and Gils for having created such a beautiful home for guests. Vraiment exceptionnel et mieux que ce que nous avions imaginer. We will be back!! Monica in the name of us all.

The chateau is stunning with a beautiful décor and has an elegant modern, rustic design, the floor to ceiling glass doors/ windows on the ground floor open to the lovely outdoor dining patio and pool making it even more wonderful. The kitchen is beautifully stocked. I can't say enough about the landscaping- there are lavender plants everywhere and olive trees, grape plants. The pool area has several areas to relax, well spaced lounge chairs and an covered alcove with a large u-shaped sectional where we took turns napping. The pool is large and beautiful with surrounding big green yard space with badminton net, where the children and adults would play volleyball and ping pong table in back. There is a wonderful woman named Stephane who was able to assist with questions and in our case secured babysitters for a night. So the reasons, I did not give 5 stars: The VRBO site refers to 5 bedrooms- we misunderstood this to be what I consider proper bedrooms i.e. there are 3 bedrooms upstairs and a large master bedroom downstairs and a guest house with an attic bedroom. We did not realize that the 5th bedroom is considered to be a tv den with a sofa-bed. I could not reasonably place an adult couple in this room. The guest house is considered to be separate and has an additional charge per night. The attic room in the guest house has a slanted roof and feels a bit dark and claustrophobic when compared to the bedrooms in the house. Other issue: 2nd floor A/C worked fine but there is no dedicated A/C or fan in the master bedroom on the ground floor as the whole ground floor is serviced by one unit that seemingly was not working well. Towards the end of our stay, we had 3 uncomfortable nights in the master bedroom. We reserved the guest house for 4 nights, and here too the A/C did not work well and our friend said nights were uncomfortable. Lastly, I was requested to give a $2500 ''check'' as deposit on day 5 of our stay. Normally, deposit requests are done prior to arrival and done thru the VRBO website. Realistically, I would not give a personal check. On day 6 ( 1 day before leaving)I received and request for funds via the VRBO website for the same amount. I should not be dealing with this while on vacation and that was disappointing as we otherwise enjoyed being here. I do think these things can be fixed and only mention knowing that these issues can be reconciled in the future for other who stay at this amazing chateau.
