Ancient Provençal Mas with Luxurious 5 * Gîtes and Heated Pool
BIENVENUE - to the beautiful Mas de la Bousquette
Set in 8 acres of gorgeous gardens and meadows, at the foot of Lussan, one of the Plus Beaux Villages de France. The unique atmosphere and tranquility of this place will charm you from the moment you enter our Roman style courtyard.
We are only 15 minutes from medieval Uzès in Provence Gard, close to Avignon, Nîmes, the Pont du Gard, the Camargue and beaches of the Mediterranean, and the foothills of the mountains of the Ardèche and Cévennes. Surrounded by the olive trees, sunflowers, poppies and lavender of Provence, and in the midst of totally unspoilt, beautiful countryside, this hidden gem is the perfect place to stay while discovering all that this blissfully unspoilt part of southern France has to offer. Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast or more of a culture vulture, you will find we are fantastically located and spoilt for choice.
To ensure your stay meets all your hopes for your precious holiday, our gîtes are equipped to the highest standard. Beds, pillows and linen are the best, so a good night’s sleep is certain. A full kitchen and spacious living room complete the picture. Our new electronic welcome pack which is sent to you before arrival holds details of all you need to know to plan ahead and make the most of your visit. Each gite is equipped with an iPad pre-loaded with local information and the welcome book, and a bluetooth speaker for connecting to your smartphone.
For couples, our two one bedroom gites, one fully accessible, offer a haven of tranquility and romance.
There are lots of quiet spots in which to 'chill'. Discover our wildlife – walls, ponds, skies and meadows are all a nature heaven. Or enjoy our large heated swimming pool set within its own safe walled garden – depending on weather, we swim from late March to late October.
We have bikes available free of charge, though keen cyclists may wish to bring their own, and there are miles of waymarked walks direct from our door.
Please note children over 16 are welcome (as are children of all ages when all three gites are booked together.)
The gîtes are completely separate from the main house, with their own parking area and entrance through the orchard – almonds, cherries, apricots, olives, figs, pomegranates and British rare breed hens – will delight you. Each gîte has its own private terrace where you can take enjoy a leisurely breakfast or sip something cool on a summer’s evening. Two separate barbecue areas and our newly created gites garden mean you can enjoy “al fresco” dining and watch the sunset over nearby Mont Bouquet.
You will find a “welcome” basket in your gite when you arrive and our on site shop stocks a few other goodies and essentials. Guests arriving late can request a light supper to await their arrival for a small additional charge. You will be invited to join us and other guests for a simple and fun supper à la Provencal with wine on your first Sunday - a good opportunity to meet others and pick up tips on places to go and things to do. We offer discounted rates for booking the Grenier and Murier together - to sleep a total of 7 with a shared dining terrace, or all three gites. Please ask for details

This is Provence as it used to be: unspoiled, uncrowded - just lovely. Perfect in summer -t vibrant and lively with constant clear blue sky and warm temperatures. However, it is at its loveliest out of season with an abundance of pure clear air and light. Even in winter the sun continues to shine most of the time. If you are looking for somewhere inspirational to take time out to write, paint or just "be", come and visit us for an extended stay between October and the end of May and become part of the real Provençal way of life.
Easily accessible from Montpellier, Nîmes and Marseilles airports, equidistant between Nîmes and Avignon, Lussan provides a perfect holiday location for all interests.
Within the village there is a post office, small general shop and two restaurants,. Fresh baguettes, croissants and pastries are delivered straight from the oven to the basket on your front door every day; free-range organic eggs from our own chickens and other organic produce avilable
The nearest town, Uzès - France's oldest duchy - is about 15km south of Lussan and here can be found many cafes and open air restaurants as well as the famous Saturday market. The vibrant cities of Avignon, Nîmes and Orange, with their Roman sights and internationally-acclaimed music festivals are about 45 minutes drive. The spectacular Pont du Gard, a Unesco World Heritage site, is only 20 minutes drive away. Lussan itself is one of the Plus beaux Villages de France and is 3 minutes walk away. The village boasts three restaurants.
For wildlife enthusiasts the area abounds in unique habitats; the mas itself sits in 7 acres of of gorgeous gardens and unspoilt meadow land, alive with colourful butterflies attracted by the wild herbs typical of Provence, as well as rare bee orchids in the spring. Regular visitors also include kites, buzzards, eagles, vultures, wild boar and a host of other wildlife. The wild open spaces of the Camargue, famous for its white horses and pink flamingos, are about 75 minutes away.
Off season the area can be seen at its very best, with spring and autumn being particularly beautiful, and winter very short - cold but sunny. Extended off-season lets will appeal particularly to bird-watching enthusiasts, where the spring and autumn migrating periods are of particular interest. With an abundance of pure, clear Provencal light, the quieter off-season months will attract artists or anyone just wishing to experience the "real" France.
Those seeking leisure activities are spoilt for choice, with canoeing, golf, rock climbing, riding, cycling, tennis available very close by. A day's sunbathing on a Mediterranean beach is within a 90 minute drive. The famous vineyards of Côtes du Rhône are right on the doorstep. Walkers can enjoy spectacular countryside, with the beautiful mountains of the Cévennes and the Gorges d'Ardeches and Cèze easily accessible. A short stroll across the meadow and you are immediately into miles of wild garrigue with far-reaching views to the Cévennes to the west and Mont Ventoux beyond the Rhône to the east. Sunsets are a specialty! For artists, the pure clear light of Van Gogh's Provence is unbeatable.
