Mas des Frelons
Overview
Mas de Frelons has been designed in the style of a traditional Provencal Mas close to the old center of Eygalières, a very quiet and authentic village ten minutes's drive from Saint Rémy de Provence.
The garden of the villa is surrounded by old olive groves, hedges and scented trees and plants. The air-conditioned house has five bedrooms, two on the ground floor, three upstairs, each with private shower rooms and lovely views of the Alpilles hills, the old village and the Mont Ventoux. The three double and two twin rooms have been individually decorated in a Provencal style and the whole house is air-conditioned.

Eygalières is a small calm village just 5 mn from Saint Rémy de Provence. The village is surrounded by the superb landscapes of the Alpilles, with olive groves, green valleys and vine fields punctuated here and there by super tastefully restored residences.
From a distance before you arrive in the village you'll see Eygalières, perched on the summit of a small hill. As you approach you'll be able to make out the small houses which make up the village and you'll have only one thought, stop a while to visit.
You'll discover a village which has known how to preserve it's authentic charm with it's beautiful stone houses, almost always framed with a touch of green or sweet smelling flowers which allow glimpses of beautiful gardens beyond.
The houses, wisely cling together along the small winding streets. The main street takes you up to the village Church from where you can visit the chateau ruins, and the esplanade of the old gatehouse and Saint-Laurent church.
The Eygalières local history museum is also worth a visit. It can be found in the Chapelle des Pénitents (XVII°) and presents some prehistoric relics as well as an interesting collection of agricultural tools. From the museum there are magnificent views towards the Caume mountain, the Alpilles and the River Durance. Similar views can also be enjoyed from the Calade path which leads past the chapel.
For cyclists, take the D24 from Eygalière and you'll enjoy a lovely tour around some of the famous Alpilles landscapes. Take the direction of Aureille and you'll pas by the pretty Pas de Figuières at 247 m altitude, whilst breathing in the heady scents of pine trees, wild herbs and of course all to the backdrop of the singing cicadas.
Getting here:
The easiest way to get to Inland Provence from the US is to fly to Marseilles International Airport (MRS). If you would like to see Paris, fly to Charles de Gaulle Airport then connect directly to the TGV(high speed train) from CDG TGV2 to Avignon TGV(3 hours direct) and rent a car. You would plan to see Paris on the way back, taking the TGV from Avignon TGV to Gare de Lyon, getting a cab to your hotel in the city.

Terms and Conditions
Arrival: Saturday
Minimum Stay: 1 week, please inquire for exceptions
Includes: Final cleaning and any additional maid service as described above.
Confirming your reservation: We will send a rental agreement by fax, email or regular mail. The rental agreement will specify the rental price, the amount of security deposit and the maximum number of overnight occupants.
Initial payment: The signed rental agreement and payment of the 50% deposit using a check or bank wire transfer(preferred) must be received within 7 seven days to confirm the reservation. The second 50% is due 60 days before arrival - we will email you a reminder 75 days before your arrival.
Payment acknowledgment: Immediately upon receipt of your initial or final payment we will mail you an Acknowledgement of Payment. The Acknowledgement will note the remaining balance, if any, and when the payment is due.
Final payment The second half of the rent and any security deposit are due in our offices 60 days before the first day of your rental. We must strictly adhere to this procedure, and failure to comply could result in cancellation of the booking. Don't worry about forgetting -- we'll remind you if your payment is not received on time.
Cancellation Cancellation of a confirmed reservation is a painful event for both owner and renter. The renter cancels because of some unexpected hardship; meanwhile the owner may have turned away rental opportunities and thus lost revenue. We have a no refund cancellation policy, but usually succeed in rescheduling cancelled reservations to the Spring or Fall or booking the cancelled period to another group and refunding the party that cancelled. Failure to pay the final balance which is due 60 days before arrival may be deemed a cancellation with no refund due. Security deposits are fully refundable. Clients are strongly urged to take out Trip Cancellation Insurance with the carrier of their choice at the time of confirmation. We can send a Travel Insurance quote to US or Canadian residents for all or part of the cost of your trip. We would need the name, birth date, airline carrier, dates of travel and amount of money to be covered for each guest who would like to be insured. Please inquire for a quote.
Security Deposit: The security deposit is taken as a signed promise that we can charge your credit card for any unpaid damage or expenses incurred during your stay. It is very rare that we ever charge a card - we inform our guests before doing so. Reasonable wear and tear is not charged for, but the cost of missing or damaged items will be deducted from the deposit.
Extra Charges The rent includes taxes, standard utilities and maid service as noted above. Additional maid or other services can be arranged and are charged for separately. In cold months November through April there is an additonal 100 euro per week charge for heating cost.
