Le Mas Cache, Saint Veran


Le Mas Cache was the first and the best B&B place that we stayed in for the whole trip. This B&B is fairly new (3-4 months old) and it is a converted French provincial farmhouse, run by Marc and Tina Delacour. The hosts were the most friendly and helpful couple, and went beyond their means to help us settle in. They made dinner reservations for us, printed maps on how to get to attraction sites and made us feel very much at home. They also converse very well in English, which was of great help.

On arrival, we were served drinks (a choice of wine, beer or juice). As I sat underneath their grape-vine patio, and absorbed in the views of the magnificient property and countryside, I wonder if all the other B&Bs would be this nice. They were not... Hence, this place gets a special mention on my blog.





The entrance to the stairway was framed by jasmine, and the beautiful scent that greeted you was a pleasant surprise. It seems like a minor detail, but it is etched in my memory. I always remember the little things...




The bedroom itself was amazing. It was grand yet comfortable and homey. Our best sleep for awhile (not hard since our flat in London is next to busy touristy streets). I will let the pictures do the talking, but it does the place no justice. This is one of three rooms, and ours was the Calisson.

Our lovely breakfast. Tina added a personal touch by making her own lavender madelaines, yougurt with fruits and home-made jams.
Also, cherries were in season. Bern was really happy about that. You could buy a kilo of cheries for 4 Euros.




I love WANT her kitchen! He he





The garden

My only regret was that we only stayed there for one night. Could have stayed there the whole week. I would recommend this place to anyone, as you will definitely have an enjoyable time. Great place for honeymooners, I might add...

Here is the link, if you are interested.
