About this apartment rental
LE CASTELLET - Apartment CESAR, with a surface of 145 sqm, has formerly been partially the living area of the landlord, partially the cellars of the Mas du Galantin. That gives this apartment the unique mixture of bourgeoisie flavor and vineyard taste with high ceiling rooms in the sleeping area and visible wooden supports in the living area. The majestic fireplace and the integrated library give the living room, partially dug into the rock, its final cozy touch.
The fully equipped kitchen is built in Provence style and overlooks the terrace. The luminous veranda overlooks the terrace and the vineyards.
On the ground floor we further find a large double bed room with the main bathroom including a bath, a shower and a WC, completely renovated, giving birth to a beautiful stonewall as in ancient times. Near the kitchen we have a shower room with the washing machine. On the first floor we have another double bed room and two further rooms with each two single beds, as well as a second WC.
The terrace itself has a surface of approx. 60 sqm and lies to a large extend in the shade of a 100-year-old plane-tree, with a nice panoramic view on the vineyards. A large table for 8 and a barbecue help to make the terrace a well appreciated gathering place.
Apartment César as the other three units has full access to the pool, the parking and the garden.
MAS DU GALANTIN - In 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.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2022
Spent 6 days at the property and was utterly charmed. Old house in the country side steps from vineyards (hard to find bad wine) and a short walk from a solid Patisserie. Short drive to world class beaches in sleepy villages. Terrific fresh veg/fruit in road-side stands, big supermarkets also a close distance away, ditto pharmacies. Stayed there with 6 adults, 3 young kids, and everyone had a blast (note to parents: pool has an alarm system and is well gated so likelihood of kids sneaking in and getting into trouble is significantly mitigated, though always present). Area is quiet, pleasant, and well worth a visit.
Be advised: old house, so comes with old house quirks, including a mouse. This did not detract in any way from the visit and was totally reasonable given it's an old country house. I'd say it even added to the charm.
Final note: you may be charged additional fee for linens and towels. This is normal in France, as the French travel with those items.
Conclusion: highly recommended for a family vacation.
