Casa Nostra

Set between the imposing Alpilles and verdant olive groves of Provence, Casa Nostra offers an idyllic countryside retreat. This beautifully reimagined 19th-century farmhouse epitomises the slow, authentic Provençal art of living and provides a unique agrotourism experience.

This Provençal mas is nestled within 1.3 hectares of meticulously designed landscaped gardens. Guests can stroll past lavender borders and gentle fountains, explore a vegetable garden filled with seasonal produce, navigate a classic hedge maze, and ascend to a lookout platform that offers sweeping views of the Alpilles. Resident donkeys, chickens, and goats will delight both children and adults alike.

In the center of the garden, there is a heated 17-meter swimming pool, lined with sun loungers around its edges and a shaded lounge area at one end. After taking a dip, guests can engage in a lively round of tennis on the private court, which is surrounded by centuries-old olive trees. For a more relaxed option, a boules court shaded by medlar trees invites relaxed competition.

The expansive grounds include shaded trellises, sunny terraces, and a fully equipped summer kitchen with a 12-seat al fresco dining table. Additionally, for those looking to celebrate a special occasion, there is a beautifully converted greenhouse ideal for hosting events. It features a kitchen, a mezzanine DJ booth, an indoor fountain, and doors that open out to a terrace and the gardens beyond.

The villa interiors are bright and spacious, offering plenty of space to relax and socialise with loved ones. Exposed brick walls and high, beamed ceilings add character, while tall, arched windows let sunlight and fresh breezes flow through.

Upon entering through the welcoming entryway, an archway leads through to the main living areas. The spacious lounge boasts double-height ceilings and features plush sofas arranged around a crackling fireplace. A mezzanine play area, complete with a charming miniature model of the estate, is perfect for younger guests to enjoy their own space.

Adjoining the lounge is a delightful country-style kitchen, which serves as the heart of the home. Its traditional features blend seamlessly with modern appliances, creating a chef’s paradise, while a solid wooden table provides ample space for enjoyable meals with family and friends.

The villa features five spacious double bedrooms with king-size beds and en-suite bathrooms, including one fully accessible room for guests with reduced mobility. Additionally, there is a kids’ dorm with bunk beds and a cosy play area with a TV, which sleeps up to five children.

With its spacious grounds, beautiful gardens, and lovely interiors, along with the charming presence of resident farm animals, Casa Nostra offers an unforgettable and authentic experience of Provençal life.
