Maison Celeste

Only a short stroll from the heart of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Maison Céleste is a reimagined bastide where Provençal heritage meets elegant contemporary design. From the moment you pass through its gates, the sense of space and style is unmistakable. The garden is enchanting and the heated saltwater pool sparkles beside a pool house and terrace that invites long summer lunches and starlit evenings around the brasero.

Inside, this expansive home flows across three beautifully curated levels. On the ground floor, the open-plan living space is impressive with its fully-equipped kitchen, games area and long dining table. Meanwhile, the TV lounge, air-conditioned fitness room and dedicated massage studio elevate moments of indulgence. Nine bedrooms, including three en suites, are spread across various wings of the villa, ideal for multigenerational families or a large group of friends.

Outdoors, guests can gather by the al-fresco bar and plancha, play pétanque on warm summer evenings or enjoy half-tennis, basketball, volleyball and more on the fully lit multisport court.

Set just 800m from the historic centre of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Maison Céleste offers the rare privilege of being able to walk to artisan boutiques, café-lined squares, and the colourful bustle of the Wednesday morning Provençal market. Here, the rhythm of local life pairs effortlessly with the villa’s refined comfort.

Whether sharing sun-soaked afternoons by the pool or unwinding across the beautiful living spaces, Maison Céleste invites guests to savour Provence in style.

Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is a town of timeless charm and cobbled lanes – the heart of the historic centre is only 800m away on foot with its restaurants, art galleries and Wednesday morning market. Surrounded by ancient plane trees and traditional shuttered houses, Saint-Rémy is a place where every corner whispers stories of history, art and bustling Provençal life. A favourite of artists and dreamers, including Van Gogh who painted many of his masterpieces here, Saint-Rémy is also a gateway to the natural wonders of Les Alpilles.

The rugged limestone peaks of Les Alpilles rise dramatically beyond the town, offering an outdoor playground of hiking, cycling, and scenic drives. Olive groves and vineyards paint the landscape in hues of green and gold, while hiking trails invite walkers to uncover panoramic vistas and hidden chapels. Whether you’re exploring on foot or by e-bike, the region’s pastoral beauty is utterly captivating.

Charming villages dot the nearby hillsides, each with its own unique character. Les Baux-de-Provence (9km), perched high on a rocky outcrop, dazzles with its medieval ruins and immersive art displays at Carrières des Lumières (8.5km). Eygalières (13km) enchants with its sleepy stone streets, high-end restaurants and Friday morning market, while Maussane-les-Alpilles (9.5km) is another delight for food lovers, home to some of the region’s finest olive oils and relaxed bistros.

For those drawn to wider horizons, Arles (25km) and the Camargue beckon. Discover Roman amphitheatres, vibrant Provençal markets and the wild beauty of flamingo-filled wetlands and white horses roaming free. A little further afield, the awe-inspiring Roman aqueduct of Le Pont du Gard (40km) makes an unforgettable day trip, while the cultural treasures of Avignon (22km) or the antique-laden streets of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (33km) offer yet more layers of Provençal charm.

Please note, the 14-person occupancy price is for the use of 7 bedrooms only.
The 18-person occupancy price is for the use of all 9 bedrooms.
