About this property

La Lavande: Unique gite with a private Grand Salon and amazing view

Le Mas du Bois Dore consists of 4 Luxury Gites (apartments) attached to an 1823 built stone Mas. There are 2 x 2 bedroom gites that were totally remodeled and 2 x 1 bedroom apartment all decorated by a professional interior decorator with French antique decor.
Les Deux Chevaux (2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, look for separat add) overlooks a beautiful pool and La Loge du Chauffeur (2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, look for separate add) and La Cour (1 bedroom, 2 bathroom) are at the other side of the Mas with spectacular views of the Gorges and mountains down to the Mediterranean. The Mas and the gites are 4 km from Mons in the Var.

Lavande is the newest one-bedroom gite in the same building as the Main house. Accessed from the Grand Salon of the main house, this charming room with a private Grand Salon has stunning views of the gardens and the pool, with the Siagnole Gorge and the harbor of Frejus in the distance. The private Grand Terrace Balcony offers the perfect spot for sunning during the day or star gazing at night. La Lavande can also be added on to any of the other gites if you require an extra room.

All our gites have private gas barbecues and patios, luxurious towels and 300-500 count cotton sheets. Beach towels are provided for pool or beach use. L'Occitane luxury toiletries are available in all bathrooms. More bedrooms can be added to any of gites if you need another bedroom. Our on-site manager/caretaker speaks English, and French and is ready to provide all information for sightseeing and area history. Contacts with the owner can also be in Finnish, Swedish, German or English.

The Mas and attached apartments are set in 2 hectares of olive trees overlooking the mountains that lead down to Cannes and Frejus (45 mins). Tour the "6 Perched Villages", discover Nice, Cannes or Grasse, hike to the Roman waterfalls in the Siagnole Gorge or spend a day by the pool with only the sound of the wind and birds to relax you.

If you wish to exercise, you can use the counter-current system in the swimming pool. The pool will be heated during high season in the summer, late June - August. For day trips to neighbouring villages, or if you wold like to explore tracks in the mountains, you can rent our electric bikes.

About the host

Hosted by Leif Sebbas

Host profile image
Me and my family have spent many holidays in different parts of France and have grown to love the country; the beautiful small villages, the food, the wine and the "French living". When we saw Le Mas du Bois Doré, we knew that we had found a perfect place for relaxation in Provence. We will continue to develop Le Mas in the same spirit as the former owners.

Our holidays in July and August we spend mostly in the Finnish Archipelago, but in spring and fall, we spend time in the main house on the property.

With help of our local caretaker, we operate our gites and holiday rentals all year round. You will always have somebody there to help you in English or French. With us you can communicate in English, German, Swedish, Finnish and (some) French.
It is our pleasure to ensure that you enjoy your vacation to the utmost and we feel privileged to be able to share the beauty of Provence with our guests.

Why they chose this property

Le Mas du Bois Doré (farmhouse of the golden wood) is a traditional Provencal mas built in the early 19th century out of local limestone. Perched overlooking the Siagnole Gorge, nestled in the middle of 400 olive trees, the mas invites you to discover the charm and aroma of Provence. Our mas is located only 4 km from Mons, one of the six historic Villages Perchés that make up the Canton de Fayence. Dating from 49 BC and built around a Saracen fort in 1113 AD, this quiet, truly beautiful village and surrounding countryside have much to offer.

Once you enter through the gates you are suddenly struck by the beautiful contrasts between tranquility and haut quality. Low stone walls constructed hundreds of years ago by the Saracens share space with modern gites offering the highest quality amenities in the Var. The surrounding countryside beckons to all discerning holiday travellers, whether looking for outdoor activities, peaceful relaxation, or a combination of both.

What makes this property unique

On-site Extras
Le Mas du Bois Doré produces its own organic olive oil. This is in all the gite kitchens for you to cook with or dip your bread into during your stay. We prepare special gift bottles of our olive oil, which are available for you to buy as a gift or a souvenir from our small on-site gift shop. We also stock Le Mas du Bois Doré homemade jams, wild herbs, lavender and local honey.

Activities at Le Mas
Mini-golf, Badminton and Boules pitch - set in our fruit tree orchard, with picnic table and stunning views. This is free for our guests.
Regular and electric bikes are available for rental. Please ask on site for the price depending on your requirements. We have 2 electric bikes and a mountain bike as well as a road bike.

For the more energetic, switch on the counter current system in the swimming pool for a brisk workout and then relax by the heated pool.

In the winter, we invite you to take part in the olive harvest and in the late summer or early autumn we can arrange for you to try your hand at picking grapes in the local vineyards.
