Ferme Valmousse is located between two picturesque villages, approximately 15 minutes by car from the cultural centre of Aix en Provence. The building dates from the 18th century, a traditional stone "mas" which was originally the main farm serving the nearby Chateau Valmousse. The house is situated in open countryside, within 25 acres of grounds. Both the house and pool are enclosed within a walled garden creating a secluded and very private environment. The blue shuttered house is flanked by large "platane" trees creating shady areas.

The lawned gardens are on two levels, the lower with a large south facing terrace between the house and the pool. Here, one has the option of alfresco eating by the edge of the pool underneath the shade of an arbour covered with vines–the grapes are edible! Alternatively there is a second dining option outside–a terrace situated behind the house, bordered with flowers and herbs. Pool–12m x 5m, heated, ozone treated, not chlorine, pool house with WC, shower and changing room.

The farm has been meticulously restored and is full of many beautiful Provencal antiques and paintings whilst providing elegant, spacious and comfortable accommodation with the benefits of a fully equipped modern kitchen. The many facilities include a grand piano, Satellite TV/video, fax/telephone and CD music system. Furthermore the house lends itself very well to an out of season holiday with the benefits of full central heating, open fireplaces and heated swimming pool. Ample garaging, BBQ and Boules. Sleeps 14/16 people.
