Comfortable house with an amazing pool

We loved our time at this beautiful property. Hosts are great, welcoming, helpful and friendly. The house is very comfortable with great attention to detail, and the outside space and pool are kept in wonderful condition. Location is nestled amongst the vines and is great if you want to feel secluded, but you are less than 3 minutes away from the nearest small village (by car) which has a good restaurant and there is plenty of good walking and cycling nearby.

Tastefully decorated house with a secluded heated pool

A well laid out and tastefully decorated house, full of sculptures and paintings the work of owners Chloe and Eric. The spacious kitchen / lounge and one of the bedrooms opens onto a secluded terrace with a large heated pool and a backdrop of a steep bank of pine trees and natural flora including cacti, sage, rosemary etc., leading up to the wild Alpilles. Another two bedrooms open onto a covered terrace facing the village but with views as far as Tarascon, and there’s a fourth bedroom upstairs with balconies overlooking both the pool and the village. All four bedrooms with spacious private showers or baths, all with AC. Impeccably maintained, everything looked new with no evidence of wear or tear. The pool was cleaned early every morning before we got up - that’s a good measure of the owners’ attention to detail. This is a lovely part of Provence that we have visited many times. Highly recommended.

La maison est exceptionnelle The house is exceptional

Super fin de semaine dans la villa. Accueil chaleureux, consignes claires, contact facile. La maison est exceptionnelle de part son emplacement proche de cassis et Marseille et de part les prestations proposées. Nous recommandons largement cette location !

Great weekend in the villa. Warm welcome, clear instructions, easy contact. The house is exceptional due to its location near Cassis and Marseille and due to the services offered. We highly recommend this rental!

Lovely villa in a perfect location

We loved staying here. The property owner was so helpful and friendly and welcomed us with a bottle of wine. My kids loved staying here with the unique bbq and pool - the grounds are private and we had fun playing badminton too. the town of St Remy is two minutes away with everything you need to explore. We highly recommend!

Perfect retreat to let the soul dangle

Fabulous woodland setting

A beautifully presented villa in a fabulous woodland setting. Glorious outdoor spaces along with a charming, characterful house with all the amenties you could ask for. We have stayed in a lot of villas, but this is one of the best.

Hutchinson

A beautiful villa, with very attractive furniture, lots of places to sit inside and out, tables inside and outside big enough to seat 20 people. 5 bathrooms and a large heated pool. The village is a 10/15 minute walk away with good shops and restaurants. We all loved the house and were very comfortable. Our Grandson on the morning we were leaving went to each room to say goodbye. To the owner and to Provence holidays who were so very helpful, thank you.

An excellent experience all around

This is a great place to stay.

A delightful week in the sun.

We all had a lovely holiday in a beautiful location. The villa had excellent facilities and we all enjoyed ourselves.

Spring in Provence

The home was in great condition. The grass was burnt and could have used the irrigation system. Not sure if the irrigation systems is on all grounds or just a small part, but we did not see it working.

Wonderful property but servicing can be better planned.

The place is great. Really fabulous. You do have to choose between air-conditioning and a heated pool on arrival but that was no problem for us in May half term as the pool was the obvious choice. The early morning mid-week Tuesday clean, early morning Wednesday power tool gardening and the incorrect wifi code were less great. The contract paperwork was pretty heavy handed too. And the kitchen is too small for the size of house. But- it's a fantastic place. Wonderfully secluded. Well equipped. BBQ and outdoor pool are perfect. Peaceful with easy access to the village, which is as delightful as Mas Des Cistes.

Beautiful villa in a private location

The villa was lovely, lots of space both inside and outside with the pool being a real bonus in the hot weather. The villa is at the end of a private lane and has total privacy. The location was stated as being walking distance to Gordes - the village centre is 1.5miles away and all uphill, so ok if you don't mind the exercise; we had bikes with us so it was a bit more accessible. The booking process and communication throughout was excellent. The villa was very clean(apart from the BBQ which had not been emptied) and the friendly pool cleaner came mid way through the week aswell. Suggestion for arrival procedure is to include the keycode on welcome email.

A rental property which felt like a real home

Very well -equipped, comfortable house and superb pool with plenty of pool 'toys'. The pool would have benefited from being accessible barefoot from the house. Not enough lighting generally in the house so difficult to read at night. We had two plumbing problems which were very quickly sorted out by M. Paumard. Wonderful perfume from lime flowers and broom. However, if we had arrived half an hour later the house would have been occupied by another couple as the person meeting us did not know the names of who was coming. The couple who had turned up shortly before us mistakenly thought they were staying at Le Mas de Charla! All's well that ends well.

A lovely house and grounds.

The house is large with enough bathrooms and toilets for a big family group with children. It is beautifully furnished with a kitchen with lots of utensils. We were a large family group with some young children and the swimming pool was brilliant and safe, fenced off and with an alarm. St Didier is pretty and is within walking distance. We have had a very memorable holiday and would love to return.

Staggering beauty, tree-lined hilltop in Provence

This villa was spectacular. The surrounding vineyards, shaded hilltop location, and outdoor living spaces made it one of a kind. It was perfect for a multi-generational family retreat and our family will be forever grateful for out time together in this place. The rustic authenticity of the structure, it's near perfect siting on an absolutely gorgeous piece of property, and it's tasteful internal upgrades made it unique. Many thanks to Simon and Provence Holidays for putting this on our radar!

Lovely home to explore Les Alpilles!

Fabulous home for our three families with college-aged children to relax in and enjoy, while exploring Les Alpilles for the week. Overall, the house was spacious, comfortable and clean with a modern kitchen and bathrooms. We spent most of our time outside - eating breakfast and dinner in the covered porch area and hanging out by the pool, admiring the splendid landscaping and lovely garden. Short drive to St Remy de Provence and other towns, it made for a great home from which to explore the wonderful Les Alpilles area. Concierge and handyman were very responsive to the small issues (wifi, clogged drain). Highly recommend!

Nous avons passé un superbe séjour We had a wonderful stay

Nous avons passé un superbe séjour. La maison est très jolie et bien équipée, la piscine superbe, et le gestionnaire immobilier nous a donné de très bon conseil pour des activités dans les environs. Elle fut également très à l'écoute et disponible en cas de besoin. Le logement est bien situé pour voir les alentours tout en étant au calme.

We had a wonderful stay. The house is very pretty and well equipped, the swimming pool superb, and the property manager gave us very good advice for activities in the area. She was also very responsive and available when needed. The accommodation is well located to see the surroundings while being quiet.
