Pin this Villa
Mas de la Quietude is an expansive estate for extended families or large groups located near Aix en Provence and the famous Sainte Victoire mountain. A three kilometer long private driveway leads to the house among green oak trees, olive groves and lavender.

Our guests receive all of the comfort and beauty one could desire in this beautifully restored and decorated authentic group of stone buildings on over 400 acres of private land.

A wonderful paved courtyard – so attractive for breakfasts, lunches or aperitifs - lies between two different buildings which each house four bedrooms apiece.

These two stone houses are perfect for comfortably accommodating large families or groups of friends. The 8 bedrooms (one is a dormitory for up to four children), all with private bathroom, have been equipped with complete comfort including air conditioning.

One of the houses hosts a large modern fully equipped kitchen with cold room and air conditioning, a perfect place to prepare dinners which will be served in the dining room or often on the South terrace with views on the manicured gardens. The vast comfortable sitting room is also located on the same floor and faces the valley and the pool.

The large swimming pool flooded by the sun is secured by an electric security cover, a terrain de boules and a ping pong table will entertain young guests and adults alike. A helipad is set on the property just above the main house.

Aix-en-Provence is less than 30 minutes away and offers daily markets all of the amenities for the cosmopolitan visitor. A beautiful medieval village is located only 5 km from the property, and the surroundings – Sainte Victoire Cezanne mountain, Gordes du Verdon, routes des vins – offer everything visitors are looking for while in Provence.

An adjacent apartment with equipped kitchen, sitting room, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom can be made available for larger groups as well. Please inquire.

This apartment is inhabited in July and August only by a couple who is in charge of the maintenance and cleanliness of the property. More services available at additional price.

Owners are open to accept flexible arrival and departure days.

Locale

Mas de la Quietude is located near a nice authentic village.

Between the Durance river and Mount Sainte-Victoire, Jouques is peacefully situated at the intersection of four Departments. Built at the summit of a fragrant hill-side, with its small valleys and wooded massifs, Jouques is not visible until you have rounded almost the last corner on the road leading to the village.

Jouques is a typically small Provencal village with a peaceful and serene atmosphere. Its rich rural heritage of "restanques", "bories", oratories and chapels offer a fine pretext for discovering the superb natural environment which surrounds the village.

Getting here:
The easiest way to get to Inland Provence from the US is to fly to Marseilles International Airport (MRS). If you would like to see Paris, fly to Charles de Gaulle Airport then connect directly to the TGV(high speed train) from CDG TGV2 to Avignon TGV(3 hours direct) and rent a car. You would plan to see Paris on the way back, taking the TGV from Avignon TGV to Gare de Lyon, getting a cab to your hotel in the city.
