Provence villa for rent sleeps 10 St Remy – Beautifully located in central Provence just over two miles from the village of St Rémy-de-Provence, Mas St Rémy is a newly refurbished 18th century farmhouse exuding charm and character throughout. Many original features, such as beamed and vaulted ceilings and a large stone fireplace seamlessly blend in with neutral soft furnishing and modern lighting, creating a stylish vacation villa surrounded by a lavish garden and splendid countryside.
The romantic pergola is one of the highlights of this villa, where guests can enjoy their meals whilst gazing into the peaceful and picturesque landscape. Why not take a stroll in the garden and discover the different varieties of fruit trees, rose bushes and the large vegetable garden providing guests with fresh produce. Almost on the villa’s doorstep is the lively village of St Rémy, with lots of shops, pavement cafes, restaurants and typical Provencal, weekly market. The entire region around St Rémy-de Provence is rich in history and art. The Van Gogh museum shows the connection between the painter's latest works and this part of France.
A little further north of Mas St Rémy is the magnificent walled city of Avignon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which boasts the gothic Palace of the Popes, a wonder not to be missed. Awe-inspiring Roman buildings and ruins are scattered everywhere in this Ancient Roman Province: the impressive triple-tiered aqueduct of the Pont du Gard and the massive arena in Arles are certainly worth a visit. Further south west, under an hour’s drive from this villa, is the Camargue National Park, a fascinating wetland known for its pink flamingos, fighting bulls and wild horses, and which offers opportunities for hiking, cycling and horse-riding.
