About the villa
Nestled in lovely gardens edged with mature trees, this very attractive villa is imbued with an air of calm relaxation. Within the fully air-conditioned house, the style is one of effortless elegance. The sitting room, furnished in cream and gold, is open through an archway to a traditional dining room, and is flooded with light from huge double doors, opening on to a sunbathing terrace which overlooks the swimming pool. With terracotta tiled floors and contemporary appliances, the kitchen leads out to a covered al fresco dining area. And a double bedroom at ground level offers privacy and comfort including a private terrace, en suite shower room, and its own kitchenette.
Occupying the upper floor are three further bedrooms, all attractively designed with understated country-house décor. Bastide des Alpilles is well maintained and superbly placed for local amenities. Barely four minutes from the best bakery in St. Remy, it is within a ten minute stroll of the town’s shops, restaurants and markets, and an easy drive from Avignon, Les Baux and several Michelin-starred restaurants.

Average weather
If you are looking for sun-soaked olive groves, carpets of lavender, sunflower fields, Roman ruins, and gently trellised vines, Provence villa holidays deliver. The region’s blue skies, mountainous landscapes, and photogenic seascapes inspired Van Gogh and Cézanne, and continue to seduce visitors in towns like Aix-en-Provence and Arles. Add the vibrant street markets, gourmet foods—like truffles and chestnuts—and some of the world’s best wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and you have yourself one seriously epicurean destination.
