Mas des Figues la Ferme de Philippe Cottagecore

If you're looking for a true French countryside experience, this is the place for you. The rooms are rustic, cozy, and original. The property owner, Philippe is the most wonderful and charming host. He truly made the stay so special with his homemade, farm-to-table, organic breakfasts and open gardens (where you can enjoy fresh figs right off the branches!). The property inspires creativity with Philippe's sculpture garden and many artworks. We loved decompressing and relaxing near the gardens during our downtime. The location is also centrally located to many nearby destinations in Provence. We will absolutely be back!

Just a 5 minute drive from St. Rémy, Philippe has created a magical entrance to his cooking class area through a labyrinth of paths wending through the most extensive rose garden I could imagine, accented by his own sculptural creations throughout. Then you arrive at the ‘mas’ and the adjacent dining area and simple working kitchen, opening to a large terrace and pool area. Philippe is indeed passionate about Mediterranean cuisine and gives a charming master class in the preparation of indescribably delicious yet simple dishes of local vegetables. He and his amiable sous-chef Gemma seemingly effortlessly produce a feast, inviting guests (in this case just my wife and me) to participate as we wanted. The conversation is easy and, beyond discussing the food prep and ingredients, ranged from Philippe’s impressive restaurant background to his passions for the simple and vigorous life, to Provence. I wish we’d been a large group to finish Philippe’s and Gemma’s delicious production. As it was, we took what leftovers we reasonably could, and left with deep appreciation for Philippe’s craft, newfound culinary skills (or aspirations), and an enduring, cherished memory of the afternoon at Mas des Figues.

Highly recommend. Comfortable room with nice size bathroom. Our room was on the second floor with magnificent views of the extensive rose garden. Spectacular grounds with olive trees, poppies, and all the roses you could possibly imagine. Philippe was a most gracious host. Easy access to St. Remy.

court passage (et premier pour nous), dans les alpilles, nous avons eu la chance de découvrir ce splendide endroit. Un havre de paix, une roseraie époustouflante, un gardien et créateur des lieux réellement et sincèrement attentif à ce que ses hôtes se sentent bien. Un petit déjeuner-brunch époustouflant entièrement élaboré par lui qui permet , voire implique, de sauter le déjeûner. A recommander sans réserves!

ce fut une visite incroyable. Phillipe est un grand artiste et un hôte formidable. les jardins et la piscine sont parfaits. ses petits déjeuners étaient les meilleurs du monde! toutes les options fraîches et saines. il y a de beaux chemins vers la ville et vers les montagnes.

Mitten in der Natur in einem riesigen Garten liegt das Mas.Philippe gibt einem das Gefühl willkommen zu sein.Wir hatten ein großes Zimmer mit Terrasse zum Garten.Mann kann überall im Haus und im Garten rumlaufen.Mann fühlt sich zu Hause.
