Designed for relaxation and comfort, the villa features a modern open-plan layout with a well-equipped kitchen, a cosy living area, and two beautifully well-appointed bedrooms. The master bedroom boasts a king-size double bed, TV, walk-in shower and bathtub whilst the second double bedroom also features an en suite bathroom.

Air-conditioned throughout, this home is ideal for families or small groups seeking a restful yet convenient holiday spot.

Whether it’s a quiet morning coffee on the outdoor lounge or an evening gathering under the stars, Villa Orchid’s gardens offer a true taste of Provençal living.

Located just a 15-minute walk from Saint-Rémy’s boutiques, cafes, and galleries, you’ll find yourself immersed in the region’s rich culture and artistic heritage whilst the natural beauty of Les Alpilles awaits with vineyards, olive groves and rugged limestone peaks just waiting to be explored in this beautiful part of Provence.Villa Orchid is located in a residential neighbourhood just a 10 to 15-minute walk to the heart of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (1km, no pavements most of the way), part of Les Alpilles Natural Regional Park.

In the heart of Provence, the charming town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence offers an enchanting escape steeped in culture, history, and natural beauty. The town is a haven for art enthusiasts, history buffs, and lovers of fine cuisine. Picture yourself wandering through its cobbled streets, lined with boutiques, artisanal shops, and cafés and don’t miss the fantastic Wednesday morning market. Saint-Rémy is a quintessential Provençal gem also famed for its Van Gogh associations.

The town boasts a rich historical tapestry, with attractions like the ancient Roman site of Glanum (1.5km). Here, you can marvel at remarkably preserved ruins that tell stories of a civilisation that thrived so many years ago. A short stroll away is the Monastère Saint-Paul de Mausole, a tranquil former monastery where Vincent van Gogh created some of his most iconic works. Walking through the artist’s recreated room and the lavender-filled gardens that inspired his brushstrokes offers an intimate glimpse into his life.  

The surrounding region of Les Alpilles beckons with breathtaking landscapes that are perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. Explore the craggy limestone peaks, olive groves and vineyards through well-marked hiking trails, walks or bike rides. Stop by farms to sample exquisite extra virgin olive oil or visit nearby villages like Les Baux-de-Provence (10km), a medieval hilltop town offering panoramic views and a step back in time.

Other gems include the bustling village of Maussane-les-Alpilles (10km) with its charming weekly market, hilltop Eygalières (12.5km) with its cobbled lanes and Michelin starred restaurant, and artistic Arles (27km) with its Van Gogh heritage, galleries, photography festival and incredible Roman sites.Maison Interiors (160m2)
