The family house
This is where I spent every summer as a kid.
This house belonged to my grandparents, and I spent many of my childhood holidays here, surrounded by my brothers, cousins, and the whole family. Over the years, it has preserved its unique character: a large library filled with books, old furniture, treasured keepsakes, and travel mementos collected by several generations of my family. Every room is filled with countless little details that tell the story of the people who lived here and the journeys they shared.
It isn't a house designed like a hotel or a perfect set. It's a place that has been lived in, with its charm, its memories and its own atmosphere.
Life here is all about spending time together. We gather around large tables for long, leisurely meals, cook together, enjoy the peace and quiet in the shade, unwind after a day at the beach, and simply share good times with family and friends.
Le Vieux Mas is a family home divided into three separate living areas, giving everyone the privacy they need while still enjoying time together. It's the perfect place for large gatherings with family or friends, where you can experience the charm of the South in every season, whether in the warmth of summer or the peaceful months of winter.
The Vieux Mas Steals the Show
Nice and quiet
Away from the bustle, tucked into its pine grove. The garden, pool and terraces are just for you.
The sea nearby
The nearest beach is a 2-min walk. The Calanques and the Old Port, just minutes away.
Room everywhere
A large house, a very big garden, several terraces, an arcaded patio. Space to breathe, inside and out.
Up to 16 guests
Ideal for a large family, a group of friends or a reunion: 7 bedrooms, 11 beds, and space so everyone has their own corner.
All yours
The main house unfolds over two floors, complemented by a studio with two bedrooms and a former agricultural outbuilding lovingly transformed into a seventies-inspired bedroom by the pool. Enjoy your own private garden, pine grove, and swimming pool. A peaceful haven entirely yours.
That Southern feel
Cypresses, umbrella pines, olive trees, terracotta, white arches. The South, no fuss.
In our guests' words
“Philippe's house is sublime. We spent two unforgettable weeks here as a family and were all charmed by the place and its every corner. We were ten, including a young child, and the house suited everyone's needs: the layout gives you your own independence while the many shared spaces invite you to come together — three tables on the terrace, the hammock, the loungers, the pétanque court, the pool, the patio, the dining room, the lounge. It is the most beautiful house I have ever booked.”
