Perks for the Parents
A large family home in Saint Rémy, Provence with a heated swimming pool, at-home gym and a separate annex that’s ideal for grandparents or a nanny. It sleeps 12 + 1. This peaceful and serene home offers total privacy set in a picturesque landscape. There is a small road near the house which leads to the Crau plateau - the perfect place for hiking or running through a pine forest and a vast olive grove - and there are many hiking trails available from the house leading to the famous Alpilles hills. Everyone can have their own space to relax here, whether you want to swim, work out, play a game of pétanque or simply enjoy some delicious local food and wine on the glorious outdoor terrace.
Why Kids Love it
This is a great vacation home for kids of all ages. While there are no specific toys for younger children, there’s plenty of space for kids to play games outside or join in with a family game of pétanque! The pool is also heated, meaning even little ones will enjoy splashing around in the water from dawn until dusk. For indoor days, they’ll love the TV and home cinema system and there are 2 living areas if they want their own space. It’s a short walk to the village, so teenagers can explore the area independently where they’ll find a cinema, tennis courts, cafes and a skate park.

Safety notes: the house is secured by an automatic gate and totally fenced in, with a security alarm. The pool is also protected by an automatic roller cover but young children should always be supervised. The pool is heated and measures 10m x 6.5m. There is space outdoors to park 4 cars - car rental is advised if you want to explore the region but not essential. The house has air conditioning, WiFi throughout, satellite TV (French and English channels), a Home Cinema system and a portable Bluetooth speaker. There’s also a good amount of sports equipment, including an aqua bike, exercise bike and gym ball. The hosts have 8 bicycles (for adults and kids) available for guests to use during their stay.
About the Location
The house is located in a residential part of Saint Rémy in Provence, France. Surrounded by beautiful views of the mountains, it’s less than 1km away from all the stores and eateries (as well as Roman ruins) of Saint Rémy village: you can walk (15 minutes) or cycle easily. This place is truly a haven of peace to experience the joys of the Provençal countryside. It’s also just a few minutes from exceptional natural sites such as the Baux de Provence, the archaeological site of Glanum. Nearby, the town of Arles is 25 minutes by car; the beaches of Saintes Maries de la Mer are 1 hour away; and the creeks of Cassis are 1.5 hours by car.

Style Notes
Provençal charm. The house is full of light and very cozy, with big comfortable sofas and a charming fireplace in the living room. Four of the bedrooms have luxurious travertine marble bathrooms (2 bedrooms share one big bathroom) and the kitchen has a traditional terracotta tiled floor. We love the traditional painted window shutters, the rustic wood furniture in the bedrooms and the spectacular landscaped gardens.
