In the heart of the Calavon Valley in the heart of the Luberon, the bed and breakfast Le Mas de la Médecine is on the southern flank of the quiet village of Goult, a short hop to the perched villages of Lacoste, Bonnieux (in the photo above from Goult), and Menerbes.
Nestled within the peaceful countryside, Le Mas de la Médecine has one of most pleasing private gardens in the area.
Guests revel in the variety of plants and flowers which are landscaped in large high drainage plantings with small pools and stone.
Potted flowers also adorn the large pool which extends from the main house towards the large lawn.
The inner courtyard of the Mas, a Provencal farm house, is festooned with ivy and flowers.
Fig trees provide shade for guests having their morning breakfast. On cool mornings, guests may choose to take their breakfast in an interior dining room.
There are five rooms decorated in vivid Provencal colors with traditional baked clay tiles. Natural light from the garden or the courtyard brightens the living space.
All of the rooms come with queen size beds, cable tv, and internet, and the bathrooms have a hair dryer, bath and shower.
