Visited by Caroline
I was quite frankly blown away by this house! Equal, if not superior, to anything I have seen in Provence but at Languedoc prices, The Olive Grove is an absolute gem. I can guarantee that booking this property will afford you all the very best comfort, luxury and amenities you could wish for. The owners have meticulously renovated what was a crumbling ruin into a beautiful, tasteful and elegantly furnished home. Prepare to be surprised - amazed even! - by the little architectural oddities that the owners have unearthed. The glass-lined wine cuves dating back to Napoleonic times were a revelation for me. Other parts of the house go back to medieval times. If luxury and elegant living is your thing, then please choose The Olive Grove!
About The Olive Grove
This extraordinary 16th Century Stone Mas is located in the Languedoc close to a number of historic towns and only 2 minutes by car to a village with amenities. Secluded and tranquil with gorgeous views stretching over gentle hills.
It has a fabulous, private 17m heatable saltwater swimming pool, large lawned grounds with olive groves, vineyards, pétanque court and several terraces for alfresco meals. There are five air-conditioned ensuite bedrooms, and the whole Mas is fitted and furnished to the highest standards.
Featured in prestigious international home décor magazines, and host to various film sets, this exceptional 16th-century Mas combines historic grandeur with modern luxury, offering a magical setting for unforgettable holidays or special multi-generational gatherings.
Emerging from centuries of Languedoc history, this majestic Mas stands as a masterpiece of restoration, where ancient stones whisper tales of the past while embracing today’s conveniences. Every element—from the vaulted ceilings to the exposed beams—has been thoughtfully preserved and enhanced, creating a hidden estate where noble materials and antique furnishings dance with contemporary comfort. Things to look out for: medieval bread oven in Le Petit Salon; the 17th century 'Duchesse Brisée' armchair in the kitchen dining area; the hidden arches in the stone walls that tell the home's history.
Activities on-site include: badminton, croquet, pétanque, giant Jenga.
