Le Mas de La Baou

We spent five glorious days at Mas de la Baou. The gite is beautiful dating from the middle ages with attention to detail as well as comfortable beds. You can walk right across the fields of lavender to reach the lovely village of Cereste in five minutes. Alain and Francoise were gracious hosts with lots of good ideas for touring.

We had an amazing week in this beautiful gite. The facilities were amazing and all the rooms were decorated and furnished to a very high standard. There is plenty of outdoor space and our kids loved the natural pool. It really is one of the best places we have ever stayed in! Cereste is a lovely village and has everything you need : shops, bank and good restaurants. We did several good day trips including Colorado de Provence, Lac D’Esparon and Forcalquier. We hope to return ! Thank you Francoise and Alain x

A sincere thank you to Alain and Francoise for a memorable and most enjoyable stay at Le Mas de la Baou. You have created a very special place and we appreciated your willingness to impart your local knowledge of the area. We hope to return!

Where to start? We stayed in the studio gite, L'Etable, with its view of Cereste, the lavender field, the beautiful and interesting natural swimming pool and the list goes on. With a partially shaded sitting out area it was the most perfect place to relax and listen to the birds and the frogs! Every morning we walked through the lavender field to the local boulangerie for croissants. Can it get better than that? Francoise had prepared a list of 'must do and see' in the beautiful Luberon area. We can't wait to return and we haven't even started on the restaurants yet. We loved it.

Fantastic accommodation, on a beautiful property, in a picturesque location. As a couple with a toddler the Mas offered us an ideal base from which we could walk to a supermarket, restaurants and bakeries, but is rural enough that we truly felt we were "away from it all". Françoise and Alain are kind and knowledgable, and the renovation of this amazing building is clearly a labour of love. Our little one loved the shallow area of the natural pool and will now expecting live frogs on every swimming trip!
