Set into magnificent scenery of woods, vineyards and olive fields, right in the heart of Southern France's splendid 'Green Provence' region, this exclusive Provencal country guesthouse offers a refuge from the city's stress and a place to rediscover the precious silence of nature. On their exceptional property amidst vast pine and oak forests next to the medieval village of Bras, ancient command post of the Knights Templar, Joel and Harald extend their guests a warm welcome among friends and take them on a journey to the kingdom of cicadas and fragrant herbs.
Luxury Provencal manor with 5 charming b & b and 2 self-catering studio-flats, pool with a panoramic view on Bras, Mediterranean gardens, breakfast and gourmet dinner served on the terrace, leisure lounge with library, sat-tv, dvd, internet/wifi and guest kitchen.

Bras is a typical Mediterranean village in the heart of 'Green Provence'' Although situated amidst beautiful woods and vineyards, it is easy and fast to reach, because only 5 miles away from major traffic lines like the motorway A8 and the highway N7 (Aix-en-Provence - Nice), north of Saint-Maximin. Leave in Saint-Maximin (N7 is going through the town / A8 exit # 34) head to city center and follow the signs to Bras (country road D28, about 5 miles). In Bras continue to the center until the 'Café Nemrod' and after 200 ft. at the plane trees turn left into rue 'Emile Combes'. Then simply follow our blue signs for another mile to the top of our hill.
