Luxury villa rental in Provence, LuberonVisit us on: www.masdessens.comFollow us on instagram @masdessensOn the last day of 2011, now 12 years ago we bought an old lavender farm and started a renovation adventure that had many surprises, mostly good and some bad. But after 5 years of hard work it was ready and we could call Mas des Sens, or Mas des Plaines as it was called previously our luxury villa available for rent as separate suites for individual couples or as a great location for a get-together with family and friends. The villa sleeps 10 adults and 4 children. The first paying rental guests arrived in Spring 2014. Since then we have developed a succesful rental business that is also offering a great location for our own friends and family. A great number of traditions have evolved since then. A major highlight was our best friend’s wedding at Mas des Sens. Something we have repeated for paying guests several times since then. With our in-house wedding planner and on site concierge we offer the best service for all our guests, come and see for yourself…
