La Petit Mas Paradou is located in a natural setting and a very quiet environment not far from the typical Provençal village of Paradou, this authentic little farmhouse has recently been completely restored with care and taste. A success, a very beautiful alliance between an old Mas with stone walls and a contemporary decoration,
A comfortably furnished living room and a very well equipped kitchen and it’s 4 beautiful spacious bedrooms with the two parental suites, are remarkably and tastefully decorated which meet all expectations.
La Petit Mas Paradou offers approximately 150m² of living space on 2 levels. On the ground floor there is a large living room with comfortable and soft velvet sofas a large table & TV
A fully equipped kitchen with all modern appliances including a dining area
A guests cloakroom with WC with washbasin
On this floor there is a double bed 150cm with a bathroom with bath and walk-in shower and has direct access to the terrace and the south-facing garden.

Outside the stone farmhouse “Mas” is surrounded by Mediterranean essences, cypress, oleander, lavender…a stone table, deckchairs, armchairs, deck chairs…for a setting.
Although intimate, the land hosts a charming courtyard with flower beds which also surround the pretty pond and combine the charm of the stone and the modernity of the doors and windows on the ground floor.
Sheltered from the mistral, facing south, a long terrace that smells of Provence is nestled right up against the farmhouse. In the south of France, in spring and summer, it is transformed into an outdoor lounge/ living area! You can have lunch there with your family, dine with friends, relax on a deck chair or read a book in the sun, in short, you spend a considerable amount of time there.
And to protect yourself from the heat of summer, a touch full of charm... a pergola invites itself there, a natural screen that blends into the decor and offers its generous shade to a magnificent round table, an accomplice of the barbecue and its famous grills which frequently invite themselves to our summer meals.
To refresh one self there is a small 5m x 4m pool, flat bottom depth of 1.45m, chlorine filtration, secured by an alarm.
