The
best of both worlds! A large, delightfully rambling farmhouse, newly renovated,
situated on a private property of three hectares surrounded by pine forests and
grape vines, yet close to local amenities and the Mediterranean. There’s a
great choice of walks from the house. The area around the house is
landscaped with lawn and garden and the private swimming pool 10 x 5, has a
wide, paved surround with sun loungers and views out to the open countryside.
The pool has an electric cover to be used for security and a cabana with shower
and WC.
The main entrance to the house is via a big, sunny terrace of 50 sq m into a hallway with guest powder room (WC and hand washbasin) off it. The bright and airy open plan living and dining areas have a high, vaulted ceiling with amazing huge beams; windows all round give vistas over the green countryside. Three comfy three-seater leather sofas form a spacious sitting area around a big fireplace with glass insert. French doors open to the front terrace. A counter worktop separates the kitchen which is extremely well equipped, including a dishwasher, microwave, gas hob, oven, kettle, toaster, hot drinks machine.
From
the kitchen a door opens to a large covered terrace of 50 sq m with pitched roof
and big beams and a teak dining setting - ideal for al fresco dining on hot
days. A lawn with mature olive and pine trees meanders down to the pool.
A
half flight of steps from the entrance go up to a twin bedded room with plenty
of hanging space and a big window overlooking the garden, pool and pine forest.
Another door leads to a small corridor with two hand washbasins to one side and
a stylish, fully tiled shower room with shower, WC and hand washbasin to the
other. A door at the end of the corridor opens to a landing with a spiral
staircase going up to a loft room with enormous beams with two single beds and
one pull-out bed,
ideal for children. NB: the ceiling height makes this room suitable for
children only.
Off the landing is a further bedroom with king size bed and a pitched, beamed ceiling. Two big windows look out over the view. There's also a bathroom with bath, hand held shower, WC, hand washbasin. A full flight of stairs leads down to the huge master bedroom suite with a double bed, sitting area with TV and French doors opening to a lovely covered terrace and stone-walled courtyard private to the suite.

SOME COMMENTS FROM VISITORS
What a wonderful place, villa just perfect, facilities first class.
We certainly all enjoyed our stay at Mas Belle and it was more than we could have wished for. Such a stunning place….
We stayed at Mas Belle for 3 weeks in May/June. Over the past few years we have rented a number of properties in France, italy and Spain and Mas Belle is right at the top of our favorite places. The house is very well maintained and extremely spacious. There were eight adults and we had lots of room in the lovely sitting area and open plan kitchen/dining area plus the added bonus of a massive table for al fresco dining. The kitchen was very well equipped and scrupulously clean on arrival. Each of the bedrooms was perfect for two and the bathrooms were awesome with over sized showers and lots of hot water. The grounds are idyllic with lots of birds and a fantastic pool. The owner Ruth was extremely welcoming and very helpful with suggestions for trips and local vineyards. We broke a switch on the washer and as soon as we called she was there with her tools and it was fixed in no time. We loved Meze --only 10 minutes drive away with a lovely beach and things to see around the marina. Two supermarkets with an amazing selection of meats, fresh fish, cheese and wine. For a real treat drive a few minutes further to Bouzigues for lunch or dinner. Everything about Mas Belle was perfect and we will happily return in the future.
