Villa Indigo

On our first day at Villa Indigo, the wisteria was in full bloom, the rosebuds were just opening, birds were chirping...absolutely idyllic. The house was very comfortable, everything functioned well. It was a great pleasure to return every day after sightseeing. We swam in the pool and played petanque (until we were chased in by mosquitos--bring your bug spray--there were a rew sites where we needed it) The kitchen was replete with utensils and dishes. We speak a little French, so got along well with Michelle, the property manager. All in all, a fabulous vacation.

This is a perfect house in a great location

Lovely house, beautiful garden and superb pool, perfect for family, young and old. We ate outside the entire time and the outdoor kitchen facilities were so good. The boil piste was well used and the lawns were great for the children to run around. Two large fridges just about held everything and the bedrooms spacious enough to absorb us all. No complaints at all although I feel it would be most helpful if there was a book or an instruction sheet detailing all we needed to know about the house. Communication with Celine was good but Michele, the lady who welcomed us was perfectly pleasant but her English was about as good as our French, so communication was limited. Also, the safe needs to be repaired. A lovely 13 days!

The property was beautiful, well-kept, and exactly as described. It was in a quiet location but still walking distance from town. We had no complaints at all with our stay and would not hesitate to stay there again.

We loved the large home and private area. The garden was something we all looked forward to after a day exploring Provence.

Good things: 1. Great location, within walking distance of the town 2. Well proportioned living area and bedrooms, generally speaking well equipped 3. Large garden and heated swimming pool 4. Well equipped inside and outside kitchen Not so good: 1. Communication with the owner is very difficult, we don't speak French, the person meeting us speaks NO English at all which makes communication impossible. 2. We could not get the dishwasher to work, poor instruction on how it needs a big push to make it work. 3. The toilet flush in one of the bedrooms did not work properly, and one of the shower heads fell and broke, instead of the owner fixing it, the owner's first reaction was 'you need to fix it or replace it, otherwise you need to pay for it!', what an attitude! My family are very well behaved people, we also all have beautiful homes, we don't go around breaking toilet flushes and showers, the owner's attitude towards services is appalling. 4. The agent kept sending me emails all in French when i told her that i do not read or speak French. The company needs to be more considerate to international guests, communication should be in both English and French. In summary, a great villa but very poor services. And if anything does not work, you can be accused of breaking it and therefore charged for it. Not acceptable.

The house and gardens are wonderful. Although the house is a newer build, it has the feel of a villa in the country. It’s perfectly located close to the center and while you can walk along the street, the narrowness of the road is sometimes tricky. There is a lovely small canal in and around the city that you can walk along into city center. The kitchen was very well equipped. The big bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms were an extra bonus.

I have wracked my brain but I can’t think of any negatives for this house. It is spotlessly clean, very tastefully furnished and has little touches like tissues in each bedroom and an apron in the kitchen, that are very thoughtful. The outside kitchen is very functional with lovely outdoor crockery. And the garden is superb and so meticulously tended Unlike others we found Michelle, who greets you or, in our case comes and finds you lost in the back streets of St. Remy, delightful. Yes, she will only speak to you in French but she tolerated my abuse of the language with good humour. Her son, who tends the pool and speaks perfect English, is also delightful. St. Remy itself is becoming too popular for its own good and parking is a nightmare but it is full of good restaurants and still a good central point for exploring the area. If we have the chance we wouldn’t hesitate returning to this house.

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Indigo. The location is close to town yet was a great jumping point to many different day trips. Our kids loved playing in the pool each day and we really enjoyed cooking and eating outside every night. We would absolutely love to stay at Villa Indigo again!

Dear Celine, we had a fantastic holiday. The house and the surroundings were beautiful. 1 small point: the description states that there is a pool billiard and a bubble bath. Thank you very much
