Maison Des Artisans - Trois Chambres Villa, Couchages 6

The simple elegance of Maison des Artisans is sure to impress you as you stay at this beautiful abode with heated swimming pool nearby to a small yet charming Provençal village.

Maison des Artisans is a contemporary and stylish holiday home for up to 8 guests, set in a picturesque garden and backed by olive trees. The minimalist décor is not short on comfort whilst fantastic features include not only air-conditioning and underfloor heating but also a retro-projector and home cinema.

Outside, the garden is glorious with its shaded patio, bar and table for al-fresco dining alongside a wonderful outdoor lounge beneath the pergola, both overlooking the immaculate lawn and close to the heated swimming pool.

The local village is just 1km away and the roads leading there are adnorned with leaning pines, plane trees and other attractive villas. There are a couple of highly regarded restaurants on the edge of the village and a café-restaurant, boulangerie and grocery store in the centre. The heart of Maussane-les-Alpilles (2.5km) is just a little further, such a picturesque spot with a wider choice of restaurants, a Thursday morning market and pretty shops.

Les Alpilles is a magnificent region for walking, cycling and horse-riding whilst picture-perfect villages waiting to be discovered include Les Baux-de-Provence and Eygalières. Soak up the Provençal ambiance of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, reached within a 20-minute drive, or continue to follow Van Gogh’s footsteps in Arles, just 17km away.

Embrace the romance of Aix-en-Provence, visit the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Avignon and explore the captivating landscapes of the Camargue, perhaps even as far as the Mediterranean coastline with the beach at Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer reached within an hour.

Location:

Part of Le Parc naturel régional des Alpilles in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, Maison des Artisans is located just outside a small Provençal village around 13km south of the artistic town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.

The villa is in a partly residential area with other houses dotted around and backed by olive trees. Walk down the country road (no pavement for most of the way) passing other attractive houses, plane trees and towering pines, and soon you will reach the village. There are two high-end restaurants on the edge of the village (book ahead) whilst the small pretty centre is home to a boulangerie, café-restaurant and Spar grocery store.  

Maussane-les-Alpilles (2.5km) is also very close by, a picturesque village with a variety of restaurants, some with atmospheric pavement terraces, as well as little shops and a Thursday morning market showcasing the best seasonal produce of this part of Provence. The village is famed for its olive oil and there are wonderful walks through the surrounding groves and farmland.

One of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’, hilltop Les Baux-de-Provence (4km), is also close to your holiday villa and a must-visit – head there early before the tourist crowds arrive. Further north is artistic Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (13km), loved by visitors for its historic charm and artistic vibe, whilst Arles (17km) is also worthy of a visit thanks to its rich heritage and Van Gogh associations.

Other fantastic days out include the small and historic city of Avignon (39km) and the romantic University town of Aix-en-Provence (69km) or venture north towards the antique stores of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (44km), known for its Sunday morning brocante. Not forgetting the landscapes of the Camargue to the south with its salt marshes, lagoons, wild white horses and pink flamingos, an absolute paradise for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
