Julian
The decor takes us to Africa, but we're really in Provence. A beautiful farmhouse, well-kept and magnificently maintained by Frédéric. We're pampered here and would stay much longer. Oh, I forgot the jams, medlars, pomegranates, strawberries, and figs from the garden that end up on our toast at breakfast. Delicious.
Sandrine M
Fontvieille 01/06/2025 An enchanting interlude near Alphonse Daudet's mill. What can I say about Frédéric's perfect, attentive welcome and the peaceful decor of the house. Our host really takes care of us: decor, a different breakfast every day, different pastries, homemade jams, and even the refreshing homemade drink by the pool. PARADISE!! Only one regret...it only lasted 3 days. We'll be back soon. THANK YOU
Jöelle, Denis, Stéphane and Pascale
June 7, 2025 Dear Frédéric, We spent four extraordinary days at your place! We are delighted with your house and garden, so chic, comfortable and we are delighted by the warm atmosphere! Thank you very much and perhaps see you soon.

Fontvieille 06-13.06.25 Hinten einem unscheinbaren Tor verbirgt sich ein wunderbares kleines Paradies. Wir hatten das gros Glück im Mas Calao eine ganze Woche verbringen zu dürfen. Welch gute Entscheidung. Alles, wirklich alles war aussergewöhnlich: die grosse Gastfreundschaft, das geschmackvoll eingerichtete Zimmer, das liebevoll bereitete Frühstück, der Traum von einem Garten und nicht zuletzt die guten Gespräche. A big Dankeschön für all das an Frederic. You have truly enjoyed a wonderful place with a pleasant atmosphere. Thank you so much. Behind an unexpected door hides a wonderful little paradise. We were very lucky to spend a whole week at Mas Calao. What a great decision. Everything, absolutely everything, was exceptional: the warm welcome, the tastefully decorated room, the carefully prepared breakfast, the dream of a garden, and finally, the wonderful conversations. A big thank you for all of this to Frédéric. You have truly created a magnificent place with an exceptional atmosphere. Another big thank you.
Ulla and Bernd
Jury 12, 2025 I came to Mas Calao for a few days with my family and was delighted to find a hidden gem along the tiny village lanes of Fontvieille. Our host Frederic welcomed us with warmth and professional level of hospitality. The mas is lovingly restored with immaculate detail and decorated in the exquisite eclectic taste of a true collector. My favorite thing is the garden and pool with the perfect shaded corner to enjoy the Provençal life.
Coco
July 28, 2025 Another enchanting interlude that calls for a new enchanting stay! A big thank you to Fred.

Didier
It was beautiful to arrive at a posto sconosciuto and to have a united harmony and so much beauty, but not tiaspetti....La casa é splendida ed accoglié, in the company of Federico, che ci hanno accolti con simpatia e cortesia. Camera and impeccable service, not to mention the ottima colazione servita a bordo piscina nell'incantevole giardino, tenuto con grazia e maestria. Vi ringraziamo tantissimo per i giorni trascorsi con voi. If you return to Provenza, there will be no other place to return here. It's wonderful to arrive in an unknown place and discover such harmony and unexpected beauty... The house is splendid and welcoming, and Federico welcomed us with warmth and courtesy. The room and amenities were impeccable, not to mention the excellent breakfast served poolside in the enchanting garden, beautifully maintained with care. We thank you very much for these wonderful days spent in your company. If we return to Provence, it will be a real pleasure to stay with you again.
Elena and Gastone
August 14, 2025, It's time to thank you for your exceptional and warm welcome. Our stay was idyllic, between the beauty of your house and your beautiful region. And I promise Frédéric, next time, we'll let you know when we're coming back late ️️ See you soon, and thank you again ️
Fabienne and Jean-Christophe
August 18, 2025 More than ever, Baudelaire's invitation to travel is illustrated at Mas Calao: here everything is order and beauty, calm, luxury and voluptuousness. Welcomed like princesses, we had an ideal stay to relax: spacious house and rooms, charming decor, a magnificent garden where we were able to enjoy some fruit at breakfast. Sensitive to art, I was particularly touched by the decoration. Finally, we had such a pleasure to spend these three days with Fred, we hope to relive other experiences at Mas Calao, perhaps in other seasons? A big thank you.
Anne-So & Nathalie
August 29, 2025 I had the chance to discover MAS CALAO, a true haven of peace where everything exudes elegance and serenity. The house, decorated with rare taste, immediately invites well-being. Every detail is carefully thought out and creates a warm, delicate and deeply soothing atmosphere. But what makes this place so unique is above all Frederic, his welcome, full of kindness and attention, goes well beyond hospitality: I had the feeling of being received like a friend, with human warmth and kindness that touch the heart. A huge thank you to you Frederic, for this precious memory that will remain engraved in my memory.
Marc
06/09/2025 After coming in May with our couple of friends, here we are again to spend our few days of vacation at the foot of the Alpilles in this charming house, where everything is beautiful…. Frédéric is exceptional and always welcomes us with such kindness and goodwill. His jams are delicious with fruits from the garden, some of which we didn't even know existed! Everything was perfect, we will come back again! Thank you for this wonderful stay and see you soon….
