St Rémy De Provence: Charming Provencal Mas, walking distance from the village

Prior to our visit, Dominque was a responsive host answering questions and providing us with so much information about the area and recommendations. 9 friends stayed at this property for the week and we all thought it was outstanding and would highly recommend it to all! It was convenient to the center of town and other attractions such as Van Gogh's sanitarium and the Glanum Roman ruins. St. Rémy was a central point for our daily adventures usually within an hour's drive of the town.The house was appointed with every accessory that you would possibly need! Many beautifully landscaped outside areas to sit and enjoy nature, quiet and our friends! The beds were comfortable and the whole house was cozy and welcoming! We would love to come back to this area and would stay here again!

We knew St Remy from previous stays in Mausanne les Alpilles and it is a beautiful area. We liked being in a quiet location but really handy for the town centre,10 minutes walk. The house was lovely, very well equipped and very clean. We had a wonderful stay. best wishes Martin

This very well provided large home is a 20 minute direct walk into village center & a 5 minute walk from the hospital where Van Gogh spent a year & did much of his later works. We were 6, 3 couples & each had a king bedroom with en suite bathroom..there were 2 extra bedrooms we used as dressing/storage. The kitchen had every thing we needed including olive oil, balsamic vinegar, spices, all sorts of glassware, plates,& implements, we missed a coffee grinder & salad spinner but didn’t expect them…this house was better supplied than any other I’ve stayed in. The garden is large& well maintained & of course a large pool but it was a bit too cool to swim yet. Towels & sheets were of good quality & plentiful, really everything is well thought out making it quite comfortable. I would stay again without any hesitation

We game here for a trip down memory lane and the house suited out purpose purfectly. Very comfortable house, beautifull garden, nice swimming pool! The beautyfull blue eyed Michael was a helpfull English speaking host!

We were seven in total and the house was large enough to accommodate us all. The owners have taken great care in making the experience for their guests truly feel perfect, and communication with the owner was great. The house does not lack one thing. All is available for you to feel right at home. The house and linens were very clean. The grounds are amazing with the plants and the trees and of course the pool. The location could not be more perfect as you are a ten minute walk from the center of town in one direction. And another short walk in another and you are at the Roman ruins, Van Gogh’s asylum, a winery and the lake. The only improvement needed is in the checking in and out process. We did not hear from the property manager on how to access the property and what the codes were to open the two gates until literally the last minute. We were forced to park our car in town and try to walk towards the property to see if anyone was there waiting. And upon checking out after having agreed on a time with that same property manager, another person showed up to collect the keys, late, delaying my brother-in-law’s departure. This did not affect our vacation or stay but did create a bit of unneeded stress.

We lived in Paris in the 1980s and since retiring in 1997 have rented holiday homes in Provence and Occitanie about 40 times. Without doubt, this was the best house we have ever stayed in. Not only was the house spacious and beautiful, its location was perfect. In one direction it was a short walk to the the excellent St Remy market. In the other direction it was a short walk to the splendid Greco-Roman ruins at Glanum. We give the house the highest possible recommendation and hope to return soon.

La maison est charmante, située au calme au bout d'un long chemin. Elle est hyper bien équipée. Très jolie terrasse ombragée .le seul point négatif fut la procédure d'arrivée: J'avais à deux reprises demandé par mail à la propriétaire le n de téléphone du responsable sur place, pour l'arrivée et avoir les clés. On m'avait assuré que cette personne me téléphonerait, il n'en a rien été. J'avais précisé à la propriétaire que nous serions à 16 heures sur place ,et à notre arrivée : personne. Moment d'angoisse, car le téléphone de la propriétaire est sur la messagerie. Heureusement, le responsable nous rappelle et nous attendons une demi heure son arrivée. C'est le seul moment qui ne fut pas parfait. Manque de communication. Le personnel sur place que nous avions demandé est plus que gentil et efficace . La maison est arrangée par des personnes qui aiment la région et la cuisine est hyper équipée. 4 chambres sont climatisées. Coin piscine absolument parfait.Mon souhait le plus cher; y revenir.

This is a belated review of our exceptional stay at Les Oliviers. From the moment we arrived for our four week stay we felt at home. Never in our experience of renting holiday houses in France, USA and Australia have we found such a gem. The house is very well laid out and spacious. The bedrooms are all well fitted out and the beds comfortable. The weekly house cleaning provided by Carine and her team significantly reduced housekeeping for our long stay. For one of the weeks we had 10 adults staying and found that there was enough space for all of us to sit and eat whether inside or out. At no stage did anyone feel that their space was cramped. We also made good use of the pool and garden. The eat-in kitchen is very well equipped with plenty of crockery, cutlery, glasses and cooking equipment. The SMEG cooker was ideal and put to good use by our group, all whom are keen foodies. There is an extra refrigerator in the laundry which came in handy for cooling the wine and beer as well as the overflow from the kitchen refrigerator. The laundry is well set up with separate washer and dryer and there is plenty of outside clothesline space. We comfortably parked two cars but found that we could squeeze in three medium sized cars at a pinch. There are plenty of extra spaces at the St Paul de Mausole car park about 250 metres away, if needed. St Remy is an ideal place to base yourself in the western part of Provence. During our stay we went to at least 20 “must see” attractions within an hour’s drive as well as little bit further afield to Aix-en-Provence and Marseille. The St Remy, Eygalieres and Maussane markets are well worth going to for fresh produce, meat and cheese. The Intermarche supermarket has everything and the smaller Super U Express (within walking distance) is handy for last minute items. Thank you Dominique for creating such a wonderful place to stay.
