We stayed at Mas des Graviers for a weekend-long celebration of our civil union and it was simply delightful. Kerstin was incredibly helpful and provided a wonderful experience. She and her team provided a wine tasting and appetizers on one night, and a full-blown catered meal the next time. Everyone loved the food and drinks, and the property was great.
It is an old style Provincial Mas, so some of our guests had to get used to shared bathrooms, but it had everything we needed for a group of 16. Also, be advised the road to the Mas is a bit bumpy so take it slow!
We are already talking about a return trip for a family reunion. We will definitely be staying here again.

Perfect!
We travelled as a group of 14 to celebrate my mother's 80th Birthday, 3 generations. The house, pool and vineyards were beautiful and exactly as described. Kerstin is a superb hostess and could not do enough for us. Enjoyed a beautiful catered meal which more than met our expectations and proved very good value for money. As a family we have visited various large properties in France but I have to say this was the best one yet! I Would highly recommend the experience and indeed we hope to go again.

Magnificent setting
We were at the Mas for a wedding in July and it is hard to describe how beautiful and appropriate the Mas is for this purpose. It is a huge property including the house, pool, pool house and surrounding vineyards. As mentioned, Kirsten will spoil you! Her preparation of appetizers and full meals are sumptuous to say the least. Her grasp of local wines is amazing. This wedding had about 28 in attendance and we all sat for dinner afterwards at this gigantic table laid out beautifully.
