Vines and Alpilles

A renovated stone farmhouse on the edge of the Alpilles Natural Park, this house is made for slow Provençal days. The enclosed gardens frame a saltwater pool shaded by olive trees, while a pergola terrace is ready for long lunches that stretch into the afternoon. Inside, the light-filled living room opens directly onto that terrace, and a separate guesthouse adds flexibility for groups wanting a little distance. Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is a five-minute drive away, and Avignon's TGV station is reachable in twenty-five minutes.

Home truths:
* You'll need a car to make the most of your stay here. The village centre is a five-minute drive away, and the wider region – Avignon, Arles, the Luberon – requires you to be on the road. We recommend hiring one if you're not bringing your own.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot. You'll need to request it in advance.
* The guesthouse sits separately from the main house, so guests staying there will step outside to reach the main living and dining areas. It's a great setup for privacy, but worth bearing in mind if you're booking as one group.
* Hen and stag parties are strictly not allowed at this home.
* For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here.
* The swimming pool isn't fenced.
