Provence: La Mas De La Rose, Heaven on Earth for Adults and Kids

Not the Disneyworld kind of paradise, the wide open fields, deck chairs and pool, 8-room chateau kind of paradise. This exclusive guest house, located deep in the heart of Provence, close to Avignon, is the sort of place you expect to be stuffy and up itself (and to be fair, it costs enough to be so) but instead, La Mas de la Rose is filled with families looking to take a break from their hectic lives and enjoy some R & R together. During our stay 5 out of 8 guests had children and the restaurants in the quaint nearby towns welcomed them as well.

Enjoy a traditional Provençal breakfast with glorious cheeses and breads, hang out by the pool, take in a round of tennis or visit the nearby wineries. For those who want to explore the region, neighboring towns of Eygalieres, Saint Remy de Provence and Baux de Provence have oodles in terms of boutiques and restaurants and are no more than a 20 minute drive away. We found many cute shops for baby decor and toys, typically French and very chic!

Oddities: No high chair. No refrigerator and iron in the room, but common ones available for use.

Highly recommended for a luxurious and relaxing stay in the world renowned region de Provence.
