Mas de L'Amarine - St-Remy-de-Provence, France
About this Chic Retreat
St Remy de Provence is one of Lulu's favourite places in France. Authentic, fragrant and happy it is the perfect Provencal town to visit known for its vibrant markets, romance and charm. New to St Remy is Mas de L'Amarine, which opens in July 2011, once home to Roger Bezombes, the contemporary French artist and friend of Gaugin. This old stone farmhouse is set in the heart of the town on an ancient Roman road. Recently restored and transformed into a gorgeous little boutique hotel Mas de L'Amarine is now the chicest place to stay. The light and airy interiors have been given a contemporary twist exuding an aura of serenity and elegance. The garden is home to a pretty pool, there is a therapy room and plenty of space to hide away and read a book. Anything and everything is possible at this Chic Retreat, owners Alice and Bernard will make your stay in Provence unique, magical and totally unforgettable. Expect to be surprised and enchanted.
