Description
This authentic Provencal nineteenth-century farmhouse is peacefully situated just outside the idyllic village of St-Rémy de Provence and offers a taste of both rural and village life in a wonderful part of France. Recently renovated, both house and landscaped garden retain their original charm and character despite their transformation into a comfortable holiday retreat.
You’ll enjoy relaxing by the old fireplace in the spacious living area, spotting an interesting book in the bibliothèque and accessing the little ladder to reach it. The house is beautifully furnished with plenty of carefully chosen paintings and objets d’art to enjoy during your stay.
Sit on the old stone bench beneath the hundred year old plane tree which stands guard by the front door, providing shade and cool. Both house and landscaped garden are well enclosed by cypresses and mature trees and the pool is well situated in a tranquil corner surrounded by lawn, bamboo and olives.
Charming St-Rémy is famous for its many restaurants, from simple bistros on pretty narrow streets to Michelin starred establishments for that special evening out. Food lovers, look out for the Wednesday and Saturday morning markets with their olives, cheeses and herbs. Wine lovers can easily arrange private tours and tastings at the vineyards in the surrounding countryside.
Set just north of the mountain range of Les Alpilles Natural Park, there is plenty of opportunity for outdoor activities such as rock climbing with hiking, horse riding and mountain biking popular on the many marked trails.
There are so many pretty villages to explore nearby and the delights of the Camargue, Arles and Avignon are easily reached. You will be bewitched by the light, colour and scents of a landscape which inspired so many paintings of Vincent Van Gogh. /n Security deposit /n €3700 paid to the owner by bank transfer one month before arrival and refunded two weeks after departure, subject to full inspection. /n Arrival time /n 5.00 p.m. /n Departure time /n 10.00 a.m. /n Energy costs included? /n Yes. /n Linen & towels included? /n Yes, including pool towels. /n End of stay cleaning included? /n Yes.
