LE MAS
A House in France
"When I first set eyes on Mas Couvaloup, this sweet looking farmhouse in Provence, I knew it had to be mine. Though on the small side for my large family, it was love at first sight. Sometimes the spirit and character of a place immediately speak to you and you just know... The Romans called this feeling the Genus Loci, the spirit of the place."

'Couvaloup' means something like 'wolf den', or 'home of the wolf'.
Mas Couvaloup is an old farmhouse dating from the 1800s, available for holiday rentals. It is not a large house, but it has a personality and with its golden stone façade it is beautiful and unpretentious at the same time. It sits in a little valley near Vaison la Romaine, famous for its Roman village. From the house one has beautiful views on the surrounding hills. Mont Ventoux and Le Dentelles de Montmirail are close by. The revived farmhouse shares its old foundations with cipresses that pierce the blue skies, parasol pines, ancient olive trees and its own small lavender field. A row of 200 year old lime trees in front of the house gives shade. Afternoons can be spent relaxing under a lime tree or in the 12 x 5 meter swimming pool.






“Le Mas Couvaloup was the perfect basecamp for our trip to the best part of France; Provence. We could tour perched medieval villages with beautiful 1000 year old abbayes, visit lively farmers markets and restaurants in picturesque courtyard gardens. But we wanted to be back by 5 pm to swim in the pool and enjoy the quiet and peaceful surroundings of our little valley. And the most wonderful part of each day: to watch the sun set over the property’s own lavender field. An enchanting place to connect and relax.”

The house
Le Mas Couvaloup offers
privacy but is not secluded. A small village with a bakery and two
restaurants is less than 1 km away. The landscape is dreamy; vineyards,
lavender fields, perched villages. Most of the charming 19 villages in the area have week markets. Vaison-la-Romaine is a larger town and just 8 minutes by car.
The farmhouse is available exclusively for weekly rentals. The mas is rented
as a whole and has three en-suite bedrooms and a childrens playroom. It is
suited for six adults and a baby or toddler. It has a swimming pool of 5 x 12 m with an alarm. The Mas is surrounded by a 5000 sqm garden and is located in
Parc Naturel Régional du Mont-Ventoux.
Le Mas Couvaloup is decorated in a pared-back Mediterranean style, fairly

Starry starry night: in this part of Provence there is not much artificial light. Admire the starry sky in all its splendor from the garden. Take a recliner into the garden and let your eyes get used to the dark for 15 minutes. Focus now on a certain spot because usually meteorites appear everywhere and you cannot just keep an eye on the whole sky...
