Step inside to relax in sizeable and comfortably furnished rooms with cooling systems on both levels. The interior is tastefully renovated and modernised with white washed walls and plenty of light that fills each room. Sit together in the large comfortable kitchen that opens on to the dining room. The floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors are a real draw to this house and make inside-out living a real treat!
You'll find one bedroom on the ground floor in the main house, 3 upstairs, and the final bedroom in the garden annexe overlooking the pool. Each bedroom has been uniquely designed, with plenty of space and privacy for each guest.
There is so much to do in this area of idyllic villages, famous towns, vineyards and glimpses of vibrant summer sunflowers. Nearby Les Baux-de-Provence has charming squares and narrow streets with stunning views across the Crau plain, the Camargue and the city of Arles. Mausanne-les-Alpilles is yet another delightful village and you shouldn’t miss the hill top village of Eygalières, one of the prettiest spots in Provence where a handful of celebrities appreciate peace and privacy.
You will experience the charm of a typically Provençal way of life in St-Rémy where you can stroll along the boulevards, browse among the stalls of the Wednesday morning market or follow the Van Gogh trail. It’s located on the plains at the northern edge of Les Alpilles and is where Nostrodamus was born, Van Gogh painted Starry Night and many artists now live. The ancient centre has pretty squares, fountains, medieval buildings and cobbled streets as well as plenty of restaurants and shops. Hiring an electric bike is an excellent way to savour the landscapes around St-Rémy or head out on a tour to enjoy a spot of wine tasting.
