Le Mas Saint Jacques0

We only stayed at Le Mas Saint Jacques for a couple of nights, but when we left, we left with a new favourite place in our hearts. The beautiful alley of Platanes, the lovely pergola, the pool side, the rustique farmhouse kitchen (free to use), the outstanding breakfast …All looked after and cared for with lots of passion by our host Jean Marc. Himself blessed with an extraordinary friendly spirit.We arrived by train to the Avignon TGV-station and then continued with a taxi (30-35€) the rest of the way. A restaurant and a big supermarket was to be found a 30-40 minutes walk from le Mas Saint Jacques, but arriving by car could be to recommend for a longer stay. I was fully prepared to do some walking to the supermarket, but instead Jean Marc insisted on giving me a ride and even helped me to find the best grocerys! ”If I can help, I help”, he told me, like it was the most natural thing in the world. This man has a big heart and so does Molly the dog - his loveable companion. Well, we can only congratulate you if you’ve decided to stay at Le Mas Saint Jacques, and hopefully we can find an opportunity to return! All our best wishes! //Christina, Fredrik and Elsa

We had fantastic two days at Les Mas Saints Jacques The breakfast was amazing - a traditional french breakfast with levain bread and croissants. A plus for homemade jam, freshly squeezed juice and a lot of fruit. The host is so friendly and my kids loved the dog and the pool. A perfect place for a family visit and to get to know some real French culture. We can really recommend this B&B.

The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated, and so is the whole house (very authentic with a driveway lined with old trees). The B&B only has a few guestrooms, so it was really quiet and relaxing. The kids had a separate bedroom. They loved the large pool and the space around the house to run and play. The location is good to visit Avignon and the typical Provencale villages towards the Mont Ventoux. The best part of the holiday was the breakfast with local produce and a wide variety. The very best part of the holiday was the host: Jean-Marc does what he can to make the holiday perfect!

Everything about our stay was perfect, down to the smallest detail. Jean-Marc is a wonderful and attentive host, is clearly passionate about what he does, and does everything he can to ensure that his guests have everything they need. The manor itself is large, well decorated, and very clean. Rooms were spacious and well equipped. Pool area was lovely, and the terrace was perfect for breakfast and dinner. Location was great, and breakfast was fresh (inc. local fruits and specialties), varied, and copious. (Special mention for the homemade jams and honey, which were wonderful!) Some bonuses for us: we stayed here with a 3-month old baby and were so pleased to discover that Jean-Marc not only had a crib ready, but also a pack-and-play for use when we were on the terrace, as well as a small "bassin" for the pool, and some extra routers to ensure our baby monitor worked properly. We also enjoyed spending some time with Jean-Marc in the mornings and evenings during meals. Special shout out to Molly, the adorable four-legged co-host, who made our stay extra special.

Not a complaint, but one suggestion would be to have a chef come in maybe 1-2x a week to cook local dishes and serve them on the terrace? There isn't a lot of food "to go" in the area and it would have been nice to have other options than pizza or sushi. (We were "obligated" to take food to go, as going out with a baby was too complicated for us.)

We liked everything, it was like visiting old friend. Jean-Marc is really very nice and friendly person, he cared for us like we were family. We felt like being home, room was really big, our dog was really very happy to run around house and play. This place is perfect base to go for trips and return back to peaceful and quiet place. We did not speak too good french, but Jean-Marc did the best to understand us and talk to us. We really appreciate his perfect care.

We found this place by chance and had we known what a gem it is, we would have stayed much longer. It is the best place to stay if you are visiting Avignon and you have kids and/or pets. Jean-Marc and his adorable dog Molly were the best hosts, it just does not get any better than that. We loved the family suite with its two beautifully furnished bedrooms and we slept like babies in his comfortable beds. In the morning we had an amazing French breakfast on the pretty terrace with everything you could wish for, even freshly squeezed juice. Our three kids loved playing with Molly, the dog. They spent all day having fun at the pool, where Jean-Marc even provided pool towels and toys. Jean-Marc knows everything about the area and is very helpful with advice. We were even allowed to store our snacks in his fridge, which is great when you are travelling with kids. Overall we enjoyed our stay in his beautiful farmhouse immensely and will definitely recommend it to our friends and family.

We loved everything!

The farmhouse was surrounded by meadows: it was so peaceful at night. In the morning we had a full breakfast on the terrace with jam made from the fruit trees in the garden, and honey from the neighbors hives. In the evening we ate out locally from suggestions made by the owner and all were delicious.

Nothing, we had a lovely stay

The accommodation is located in the very center of a super interesting area: Avignone, San Remy, Isle sur la Sorgue, Chatenneuf du Pape… … Not far from la Camargue. The house has proven comfortable, super clean, extremely welcoming. But the real plus of the holidays is JeanMarc (and his dog Mully) that has created a perfect format for families, kids and animals, letting us leave an holidays like in family. Thanks to a great mix of strong professionality and warm heart, he’s become uncle to our kid and good friends in few days. We’ll leave here a part of our soul

Le Mas Saint Jacques is phenomenal and one of its kind. This B&B has a very special atmosphere which will make you feel right at home and treated like an honoured guest at the same time. The owner, Jean Marc, went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect, accommodating our every wish even sometimes before we could think of it ourselves. He amply provided us with great local tips and took real interest in our excursions in the area. The beautiful breakfast is absolutely terrific. The room was wonderful and felt authentic in a most charming way. Our kids adored playing with the kind black dog Molly and splashing around in the pool as well as playing near the house. Jean Marc and his lovely daughters run a very special place indeed, and we ended up extending our stay from 3 to 5 days. You are lucky if you come across this place on your travel - we sure hope to come back again another time.

As mentioned by others: I hope absolutely nothing to note in this section. Everything is perfect.

For us the location was ideal and the breakfasts were super.

Nothing.
