This is a delightfully bright and colourful home set in glorious gardens with mountain views and a heated swimming pool which you'll certainly appreciate during the colder months. it is a stylish house, perfect for a family or friends wanting to stay in this idyllic part of Provence ,especially if you're keen to visit St-Rémy, where Van Gogh painted his iconic 'Starry Night', or the charming historical towns like Arles and the Camargue.
