This beautiful home is what holidays in the south of France are all about. You’ll find shuttered windows and ivy creeping up the exterior of the soft-hued home, and two hectares of glorious green gardens. Whether you plan to doze in the shade of an ancient tree or swim laps in the tranquil heated swimming pool, you’ll feel relaxed as soon as you arrive. The farmhouse is located in the foothills of Les Alpilles a twenty-one-minute walk from Saint-Rémy. There you’ll find restaurants and cafes, as well as the fascinating archaeological site of Glanum. Les Alpilles is a great place to stay if you’re keen to be active on your holiday – don’t worry though, there’s still plenty of opportunity for eating pastries and sipping wine. Head to the pretty hilltop town of Eygalières – just seventeen minutes away – to ride bikes or take the children pony-trekking. The scenery is breath-taking. History buffs will enjoy a day trip to Avignon, where you’ll find two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The journey takes thirty-eight minutes and you’ll be rewarded with rich history, a lively art and culture scene and Michelin-starred restaurants. Back at the villa after a busy day, relax on... the terrace with a book while the kids splash in the pool or play on the swings. Once they’ve gone to bed, spend some time in the Jacuzzi gazing up at the night sky.

This home is managed by Oliver
