Staying at Le Mas Estello is to inhabit a version of Provence that feels both deeply authentic and quietly refined: a hillside mas above the village of Paradou where stone walls carry the warmth of the afternoon sun, clay-plastered rooms in sage and terracotta open directly onto sweeping Alpilles views, and a 16 x 4m infinity pool sits at the garden's edge as though always belonging there. The interiors reward close attention — antique pieces from L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue alongside Bonacina rattan and Flexform upholstery, lithographs and photographs on raw plaster walls, cashmere plaids from La Manufacture Brun de Vian-Tiran folded at the foot of beds dressed in natural-fibre mattresses. It is a property conceived with the conviction that comfort and character need not be in competition, and the Alpilles regional park, stretching uninterrupted beyond the terrace rail, provides the finest possible confirmation of that idea.

Highlights
The Infinity Pool Above the Alpilles — 16 metres of salt-treated water on the edge of a Provençal hillside, with the limestone ridges of the regional park as the only thing on the horizon.
Breakfast Without a Schedule — fresh pastries, artisanal cheeses, seasonal fruit and local jams served daily at the mas, with two terraces and an Alpilles panorama to choose between.
A Chef's Table at Home — on request, a private chef cooks a tailored menu in the 33m² Gaggenau-equipped kitchen, with the stone island seating eight and no restaurant to book.
The Bio Sauna and Massage Room — a private wellness space on the lower floor: bio sauna with light therapy, and an adjoining massage room where an in-house masseuse can be arranged.
The Terrace Fire Pit After Dark — the upper terrace has a stone fire pit, four armchairs, two sofas, and an unobstructed view of the Alpilles going dark; no need to go anywhere for the best seat of the evening.
The View That Doesn't Quit — the Alpilles regional park fills every window, every terrace and the far end of the pool; there is no angle of the property from which the landscape isn't the dominant presence.
Sport Court for the Competitive Ones — volleyball and mini football on a private court, a pétanque pitch in the garden and a fully equipped gym inside; enough to keep a large group occupied without leaving the property.
Le Mas Estello is a 300m² architect-designed Provençal mas situated on a hilltop in Paradou, within the Alpilles regional park in Provence, sleeping up to 8 adults and 4 children across 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
The private heated infinity pool measures 16 x 4m, is salt-treated, heated from May to September, and secured by electric shutter; it is directly accessible from the ground-floor bedrooms.
Accommodation comprises two master bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms including bathtubs and double vanities, two further en-suite double bedrooms and a fifth bedroom configured as a children's dormitory with two bunk beds and an adjoining en-suite.

The lower-ground floor houses a bio sauna with light therapy, a dedicated massage room and a laundry room equipped with Miele appliances.
A wine cellar stocked with local and regional selections, a fully equipped gym with dumbbell rack and rowing machine, a pétanque court and a sport court for volleyball and mini football are all available on the property.
