LE MAS - THE HOUSE
The large well-equipped kitchen (55m²) is the centre of the house, great for family meals where 12 people can sit comfortably around the table. The centuries-old larder and stone evier (basin) built into the exposed stone walls just add to the character of the kitchen. It is well-equipped with: a Smeg cooker with 5 gas burners and large electric oven; Samsung dishwasher and washing machine; a Siemens fridge freezer; and a Nespresso machine and Aeroccino milk frother.
The terracotta floor tiles lead to the living room (44m²), which like the kitchen has exposed beams, an enormous fireplace with a wood burner (wood provided) and doors leading outside to the pool and summer kitchen. There are 3 large comfortable sofas and plenty of games and books to enjoy. If you want to catch up on the news or watch a film there is a flat screen satellite TV with English and French channels and a portable bluetooth speaker.
Two bedrooms are on the ground floor at opposite ends of the house, each with two single beds and en suite bathrooms with showers. One of these bedrooms is wheelchair accessible, as is the majority of the rest of the ground floor and outside area.
The other three bedrooms are accessed via two staircases and all have air conditioning. The first staircase leads to a double-aspect bedroom and en suite bathroom with shower. The main staircase goes from the kitchen up to the two large gabled master bedrooms (33m² and 23m²).
The master bedrooms have wooden floors, beautiful original beams and are light and bright. Windows have views to the fields and woods beyond, being the perfect lookout for deer, birds of prey and wild boars. Both master bedrooms have large en suite bathrooms with showers and free-standing baths.
THE SUMMER KITCHEN, POOL AND GARDEN
Opposite the kitchen is the covered summer kitchen (65m²). Originally a barn, it still retains the roof but is partly open on three sides, affording you shade and a cool breeze. There is a small kitchen area with sink, fridge and a Weber 3 burner gas barbecue (gas provided). A large dining table, chairs and comfortable seating make it the perfect setting for long lunches, escaping the sun or spending time together late into the night, with atmospheric lighting.
There are games to play in the garden including a covered table tennis area and a covered pétanque court. The private heated pool is 10 x 5 meters, saltwater and has an electric cover. It is open from April to October. It’s positioned to take in the view over the fields and woods beyond, so lie back on the sun loungers and deck chairs and enjoy it! If you are seeking solitude there are several private spots in the garden.
We can arrange for a private chef to cook for you at Le Mas, or wine-tasting. There is a masseuse, pilates teacher and a yoga teacher available. We'll send you all the extras before your holiday so you can look forward to it!

Lives up to expectations!
By David Ingham on 04-May-2026Le Mazet sits in a beautiful, elevated countryside setting, yet is a short drive to Monpazier (approx. 12-minutes) The property certainly lived up to our expectations from the website and is very well equipped and comfortable. The quality of the luxury bedding and toiletries were appreciated and Rupert and Franck were excellent and helpful hosts. Le Mazet is spacious accommodation for 2 guests and we felt at home straightaway thanks to the generous level of equipment and attention to detail. We have no hesitation in recommending Le Mazet to prospective guests.

It was Easter while where there and they done easter hunt for the boys which they loved It was also my birthday while I was there and they very kindly gave me a lovely bottle of fizz and a card. Very thoughtful. I would definitely go back.
Immaculate
By Michael Johnson on 04-May-2026Le Mazet is an immaculate cosy cottage for two in the most beautiful peaceful surroundings. It is comfortable, superbly equipped and generously supplied with all essentials. Our hosts Rupert and Franck could not have been more welcoming and delightful. Nothing was ever too much trouble. We cannot wait to return!
Unforgettable
By Sarah Bryant on 05-May-2026Our stay at Le Mas with the family for Mum’s 70th birthday celebration was unforgettable! We had perfect weather for the entire week we were there that allowed us to enjoy everything Le Mas has to offer - the pool, the summer kitchen, the BBQ, the garden and games area and of course those spectacular, far reaching views from both sides of the property. The celebratory birthday meal cooked by Didier at the house was really special and being able to dine al fresco just made it all the more perfect. The house is stunning and has absolutely everything you need and more! The beds and pillows are really comfy, the kitchen is more than well equipped and the bathrooms are super stylish. The wine is fabulous too! Rupert and Franck are wonderful, welcoming hosts at this little sanctuary of calm and tranquility, if you want somewhere to totally unwind, this is it! You can tell how much love and care has gone in to the restorations and the efforts that go in to the continued comfort of their guests. Thanks for a really special week Rupert and Franck, we hope to return someday!
Enchanting, beautiful and peaceful
By Roché on 06-Oct-2024When I first saw the video of Le Mas et Le Mazet online it evoked such an emotional reaction in me that I cried. It looked enchanting, beautiful and peaceful and I just had to book. We stayed for a week in October and I am so grateful we did. Everything about the house, location and holiday was just wonderful, we couldn’t have asked for more. Rupert and Franck are on hand for questions/ directions/ recommendations- anything you need really- which puts you completely at ease knowing you are taken care of. Don’t hesitate to book, you won’t regret it
A thoroughly excellent time
By Andrew on 10-Sep-2024We took our whole family to the Le Mas and Mazet and had a throughly excellent time from start to finish. The facilities available are second to none and Rupert and Frank went out of their way to ensure our family time together was extra special. Their recommended private chef Didier is also worth considering if you want an extra special evening as we did on one occasion - the food was amazing. Lots of lovely local places to visit to keep all ages entertained.
