Q. Chef Tour Experience Details
R. Martine, the caretaker of the mas, made two delicious meals for us. We loved the experience, especially having her cook the night of our arrival. It was a wonderful way to start our vacation.
We also booked a wine tour, which was one of the highlights of the trip. Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable, and the wineries we visited were lovely and sold delicious wines. I’m glad we did this at the beginning of our stay, because we bought lots of wine and enjoyed it throughout the week.
Q. Would you consider staying here again?
R. Yes
Q. What did you like about your experience?
R. The ambiance of the house was so romantic and quintessentially Provençal. We came as a group of 5 couples, without our children, and everyone had enough space to relax. The bedrooms were spacious, and the property was large, quiet, and private. Several of us in the group love to cook, and the kitchen was well equipped for preparing large meals. Martine was so warm and attentive, and she took special care to help my husband rent a specific bicycle, and she gave me good tips on which butcher, wine shop, and market to go to. Really everything about our trip was magical. I would spontaneously burst into tears during the trip when I thought about having to leave! We would love to come back with our children and parents in the future.
Q. What is one thing we could do to improve your experience with Only Provence in the future?
R. We came in late May, and the nights were still a little chilly. An extra blanket on the bed might have been nice, but we managed without.
Q. Testimonial for Only Provence
R. Wonderful customer service. Everything went according to plan.
Great location, relaxing and well stocked accommodation. Regular cleaning service was much appreciated. Very attentive service before arrival and during stay. We felt welcomed and informed and this maximised the enjoyment of our stay.
Areas for improvement:
Air conditioning in all rooms would be a major improvement

The village of the Baux de Provence is situated in the heart of the Alpilles son a rocky plateau 245m high. A brilliant view of Arles, la Camargue and the Alpilles can be seen from the look-out points! This immense and superb stone fortress is without doubt one of the "must-sees" on the Provencal tourist trail!
Les Baux de Provence - Catapult
The village is officially classified and labelled as "one of the most beautiful villages in France". Its cultural heritage is exceptionally rich, with 22 architectural treasures classified as "Historic Monuments" (including the church, chateau, town-hall, hospital, chapels, houses, doorways... without counting items of furniture and a collection of paintings).
Les Baux de Provence - Brocante
The village has been painstakingly restored and is now one of the most popular attractions in the region... (no matter what time of the year you visit, you will not be alone... Les Baux welcomes more than one-and-a-half-million tourists a year!).
The 500 permanent residents must surely have the impression of living in a real-life museum!
Les Baux de Provence - StreetThe village can only be visited by foot and you will admire the ancient houses that have been carefully restored, beautiful Renaissance façades and several magnificent "hôtels particuliers" which today serve as art galleries or museums.
While wandering around you will come across many craft shops selling Provençal products and souvenirs... Food-lovers will soon discover that several restaurants at Les Baux boast international reputations... such quality dining is so hard to resist!!!
Les Baux de Provence - Office du Tourisme
You can not miss the "Citadelle des Baux" at the summit of the village. Les Baux covers 7 hectares and visitors can discover the main ruins of its dramatic past: the keep, Saracen towers, chapel, old war weapons... the history of Provence unfolds before your eyes amongst the rocks and stones.
