Sun, privacy and astronomy.
We found this house at short notice after being let down by another property. We definitely landed on our feet, as this is a great property. The house itself is a traditional Provençal place, and is quite rustic, but everything you need is there. It is separated from the owners' house by around 800m up a track, and is therefore very private. The pool is quite large, and was pleasantly warm when we were there - no getting in gradually and shivering! The owners Jean Luc and Caroline are very friendly, and speak excellent English. Jean Luc maintains the pool every other day, and Caroline waters the garden midweek, and they are always on hand at their own house for anything that might be required. Jean Luc is an astronomer and has observatories with several telescopes. I also have an interest in astronomy and spent a couple of nights looking at clusters, galaxies and nebulae. Overall, a great find - we'll be going back!

Great house, fantastic facilities
We really enjoyed our stay. The house had big light rooms, with stone floors that kept cool in the Provençal sun. It was superbly equipped. The swimming pool and tennis court were in perfect condition, I think they look better than the photos. Caroline and John Luc were great hosts and we really enjoyed our evening observing the stars, learning about the night sky with John Luc.

Nice house
It was a nice stay, very quiet surroundings and amazing starry skies at night. Only, the rocky road towards the house in the end cost me 2 new car tires… The house was charming, however a bit dated and the kitchen and the big bathroom not so clean (the oven was still dirty from previous guests, so we did not use it). We loved the surroundings of the house; lots of room for our dog, however the owner told us upon our arrival that our dog was NOT allowed to swim in the pool. Maybe they should have mentioned that on the Vrbo site… We stayed in another house in the Provence which was much more luxurious and clean, so we found the costs for this particular house - although a very nice house - a bit steep. Conclusion: A very charming house and beautiful surroundings, but a bit dated and therefore too expensive.

Calme et agréable
Propriétaires réactifs en cas de questions et très sympathiques. Magnifique piscine très bien entretenue et un logement typique de la région Provence. Seul bémol était la propreté à l'arrivée et la salle de bain qui devrait être rénové.

Unique location, perfect stay
We stayed in Mas La Boussone at Domaine La Blaque for 14 days. What a charming, robust, large and stylish house it is! It felt like a home, with a great atmosphere. All the rooms, the big kitchen and the nice gardens and terraces outside are like you would hope to find in the Provence/Var. It’s quiet outside, except for the amazing birds. We even had the pleasure hearing a nightingale! And what to think of the butterflies and smells of the rosemary on the path towards the pool. We loved it all. The inviting swimming pool and the sun beds are great! So nice to dive in after being away for the day or just staying there reading a good book and enjoying the view and the lovely weather. Relax and enjoy, that was our recipe. Domaine la Blaque is located in the middle of nowhere, with a challenging road to get there. You need a good car and driving skills, but the reward is there when you reach La Boussone. We love the isolated location and the tranquility. Varages, with a very good boulangerie, is a perfect starting point for trips in the environment, like Gorges du Verdon and Aix en Provence. Caroline and Jean Luc are fine hosts. We didn’t see each other much, but if we had a question they acted quickly. We can highly recommend this place to nature lovers and people who want to feel the Provence atmosphere in their holiday home. Merci bien Caroline & Jean Luc!

Un cocon au cœur de la garrigue
Nous avons passé une très agréable semaine dans cette ancienne bergerie au charme authentique, nichée dans un paysage provençal reposant et inspirant, au milieu du thym parfumant chacune de nos promenades ressourçantes. Merci à Caroline et à Jean-Luc pour leur accueil chaleureux, les pieds sur Terre et la tête dans les étoiles.

Un havre de paix
Si vous recherchez un lieu calme, reposant en Provence, c'est ici. Soleil, cigales, une large piscine... Des hôtes charmants et attentionnés. Merci à vous deux. La bergerie est à l'écart, vous êtes seuls au monde. La région est riche en découverte, 15 jours n'ont pas suffit ! De bons souvenirs pour toute la famille.
