Recently renovated 19th century wine estate, at the foot of Mont Ventoux

In the heart of Provence near the town of Beaumes-de-Venise and at the foot of Mont Ventoux lies Mas Pausadou (place of rest in provençal language), a recently renovated 19th century wine estate in the midst of vineyards, olive trees, cypress, lavender and fruit trees with 3 hectares of land. 

Beaumes-de-Venise is famous all over the world for its sweet ‘Muscat’ wines, appreciated as a fine desert wine or a cool aperitif. The town offers plenty of restaurants and terraces.

The 300m2 property faces south and provides a grand display of the Provencal sunset over Les Dentelles de Montmirail. Sightseeing recommendations include Isle Sur La Sorgue, where life bustles around the canals and the 300 antique dealers and art galleries, or Avignon and Orange where you can explore more of the rich French history at sites such as the Popes’ Palace or the ruins of an ancient Roman Theatre built under Emperor Augustus in the first century. Golf aficionados can visit several excellent courses in the area including Golf de Servanes at Mouriès, Golf de Pont Royal and the Provence Country Club. Or you can explore the wonderful wineries of Beaumes-de-Venise, Gigondas, Vaqueyras, which are 10 minutes drive from the property. Or you can just relax at home and enjoy the sweet feelings of the fresh country air.
