Within walking distance to the beautiful small town of St. Rémy, this gem of a country house has charm, character, and a fenced pool. Surrounded by park-like grounds, it offers full privacy and panoramic views of the Alpilles Mountains and vineyards. The pool and grounds are exceptional.
In the family for generations, this house is a genuine Provençal "Mas", or stone farmhouse, with two stories. On the ground floor, there is a comfortable sitting room is furnished with period pieces, a stone fireplace, family oil portraits and assorted artworks. The more recent wing of the house, dating from the 1930’s, includes an attractive dining room with exposed stonewalls, a large country table seating up to twelve, an antique carved walnut dresser, and a comfortable single daybed. A collection of antique plates and 18th century pewter graces the walls. Outside the dining room there is a sheltered patio with lots of outdoor furniture.
Remodeled in 2000, the kitchen is a warm and inviting space with white cabinets, decorative blue and white tile backsplash, and a wide wooden breakfast counter. Appliances include a gas and electric four-burner cook top, wall oven, dishwasher, refrigerator/freezer, and washing machine. Down the hall, a cheerful bedroom with twin beds has direct access to the garden through French doors. The second bedroom has a bunk bed sleeping two children. Small shower room.

St. Rémy is in the heart of the picturesque countryside so often represented in Vincent Van Gogh’s paintings. It is the quintessential Provençal town with Roman ruins, a town square with old church, an open market every Wednesday, and a tree lined boulevard that circles the old town where the ramparts used to be. Near Arles, Avignon, and Les Baux, it is a very beautiful and central location. The nearby quaint village of Maillane has an interesting Frédéric Mistral museum in his former home and birthplace.
We loved the house, found it a charming place to spend time, loved the access to a fire in the evening. And in retrospect found the living room, in the evenings a very inviting, warm spot to read. I always enjoy the process of food shopping in a foreign country, the kitchen I found very pleasant to work in. And our landlady was a lovely, charming woman. Grace W. June 2016
