Villa Laurent

Set among cypress trees with the soft silhouettes of the Alpilles in the distance, Villa Laurent unfolds as a picture-perfect Provençal retreat close to Saint-Remy. The garden is a sensory delight, filled with fragrant roses, herbs and olive trees, inviting long afternoons beneath the sun. As evening falls, the gentle glow of lighting sets the scene for pétanque matches and lingering al fresco dinners beneath the arbour, where conversation carries easily into the warm night air.

Recently renovated to an exceptional standard, this soulful, air-conditioned home balances authenticity with refined comfort. Natural materials, calming feng shui influences and elegant furnishings create interiors that feel both elevated and restful. Light pours into the open living spaces, where a fully equipped kitchen flows seamlessly into a dining and living area designed for sociable gatherings. Bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged, with four pretty doubles, three of which open onto the terrace with romantic views, and a triple bunk-bed room ideal for kids/teens, making it perfectly suited to families or groups of friends.

Days here are shaped by both relaxation and activity. Stretch out beside the swimming pool on loungers beside the olive trees, enjoy a gentle workout in the fitness room or challenge loved ones to ping-pong before retreating to the poolside bar. The expansive grounds offer space for games and quiet corners alike, while a private concierge can arrange everything from vineyard visits to in-villa massages.

Set just a short drive from Eyragues and only 6.5km from Saint Rémy de Provence, the villa enjoys a setting that is both restful and well connected. Local markets, historic villages and iconic Provençal landscapes are all within easy reach, offering a rich tapestry of experiences to explore at your own pace.

In the Provençal countryside only 2km from the the charming village of Eyragues, Villa Laurent enjoys a beautiful and well-connected setting between Châteaurenard and the ever-popular Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. This idyllic corner of southern France is characterised by fragrant gardens, cypress-lined lanes and a relaxed rural rhythm, offering an authentic taste of life in Provence while remaining close to vibrant cultural hubs.

The surrounding area is easily explored by car, allowing guests to dip in and out of village life at their own pace, from morning bakery visits to leisurely evening meals in picturesque settings.

Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (6.5km) is a captivating town renowned for its deep artistic heritage and elegant Provençal charm. Famously associated with Vincent van Gogh, who created some of his most celebrated works while staying at the nearby Saint-Paul-de-Mausole, the town continues to inspire with its light and landscapes. Today, its narrow streets are lined with inviting art galleries, showcasing both local and contemporary talent. Each Wednesday morning, the town comes alive with its vibrant market, where stalls overflow with regional produce, artisan goods and the colours and scents of Provence.

The natural beauty of Les Alpilles lies within a short drive, where a collection of idyllic villages such as Eygalières, Maussane-les-Alpilles and Les Baux-de-Provence can all be reached within 30 minutes. This striking landscape of limestone hills, olive groves and vineyards is perfect for scenic walks, hikes and cycling routes, as well as opportunities for olive oil and wine tasting amidst the region’s timeless scenery.

For cultural excursions, the historic city of Avignon (17km) invites exploration with its renowned architecture and lively atmosphere, while L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (30km) is famed for its waterways and antique shops. Arles (32km), rich in Roman heritage and artistic legacy, offers another rewarding day out within easy reach.

Slightly further afield, the perched villages of the Luberon, including Gordes and Ménerbes, can be reached in around 45 to 60 minutes by car.
