LE CASTELLET - Apartment MARIUS, with a surface of 120 sqm, is located at the back of the Mas du Galantin and occupies a portion built between the 16th and the 19th century. The place hosting the well-equipped kitchen is the oldest unit of the farmhouse and very charming. All walls of the apartment are painted in the tradition with warm colors and all furniture is painted in the Provence style. Fabrics are from “Les Olivades”, a very famous Provençal factory from Tarascon.
The large living/dining room with a table for 6 people is the masterpiece of Marius with its panoramic view and its large fireplace. There are three sleeping rooms of which two preserved the proportions of the ancient times (one with a double bed and one with two single beds) and one is mansard-roofed (can be use with a double or two single beds).
There are two private terraces: one lies at the shade of a typical Provençal pergola furnished with a wrought iron table for 6 persons. It overlooks the peaceful neighborhood on one hand and a part of the swimming-pool on the other. The other is adjacent to the kitchen and is furnished with a comfortable lounge.
Apartment Marius as the other three units has full access to the pool, the parking and the garden.
MAS DU GALANTIN - A 16th century Vineyard Farm (Mas Provençal), not far from the superb medieval village of Le Castellet, at 10 minutes driving distance from Bandol and the beaches:
charm and authenticity in the homeland of novel writer and film maker Marcel Pagnol. We offer you to share the unique atmosphere left by our ancestors in 3 charming Provence style apartments and a historical cottage for 2-8 persons. All 4 carry names of characters from Pagnol’s “Trilogie Marseillaise” and each of them has its own personality.
They all have private shaded terraces equipped with a barbecue or a plancha grill and private entrances. They have in common: a large swimming pool (11 x 5,5 m) on a property of 2.500 sqm facing the vineyards, our house mountain "Gros Cerveau" and a large private parking. They are all equipped with free wireless internet.
A dream of peaceful and untouched surroundings, where the easiness of living and the famous «Provençal accent» cherished by Marcel Pagnol himself persist. Here, the vineyards of the world-famous Bandol and the bronze colored olive-trees are deployed as far as the eye can see.
Mas du Galantin was first mentioned in the official books in the year 1550. It has been extended subsequently over the centuries and reached its actual size in 1897. Historically the property served as vineyard farm to the vine producing domain. It was only in the beginning of the nineteen sixties that both were sold to separate owners and became “Mas du Galantin” (the historical house) and “Domaine Le Galantin” (the vineyard).
We had the chance to become the happy owners of the Mas in 2003. When visiting the first time, we fell in love with the situation, the historic building and felt very good vibes at the property.
We undertook over the years a series of renovations and created the parking and the garden. We created the 3 apartments in the main house – César (145 sqm, sleeping 8), Marius (120 sqm, sleeping 6) and Fanny (90 sqm, sleeping 4) were born. We transformed the cottage at the pool into a cozy apartment – the birth of Panisse (30 sqm, sleeping 4)
Our guests regularly confirm our impression of our first visit – the good vibes at Mas du Galantin. They appreciate the multi-family environment. Many times, we observe children making new friends during their stay at Mas du Galantin and parents having a good time together during their holidays. Many guests are coming back – the biggest compliment we can expect.
