Le Mas Coquelicot
About This Villa
Just a short walk from the idyllic village of St-Rémy, this delightfully restored town house is the perfect place for a family or group of friends to enjoy all that Provence has to offer.
Having been recently renovated to create even more indoor space, the homely living room leads straight out the double doors to the pretty garden and terrace where you can enjoy meals al-fresco on warm summer evenings. The bright modern kitchen is full of vibrant colours and characterful tiling, a lovely spot for your morning coffee whilst the five bedrooms have been decorated beautifully with warm, natural tones, some overlooking the glorious pool and gardens.
In your own corner of Provence, surrounded by tall trees and stone walls, you can capture a glimpse of the dramatic Alpilles mountain range from your relaxing terrace. Outside there is ample space to chill out on the terrace or dip into the 13m long pool and gaze at the surrounding oak and olive trees as you swim. Find a shady spot in the lovely wooded gardens to read a good book and listen to the birdsong.
It’s just a fifteen minute walk to nearby St-Rémy (note that the route is partially along country roads with no pavement), well-known for being popular with artists including Vincent Van Gogh. In the summer months, on selected Sundays, the ‘Route des Artistes’ fills with local artists showing off their work creating a wonderful and bustling atmosphere. The village is also famous for its many restaurants, from down to earth bistros found on pretty narrow streets to Michelin starred establishments. Food lovers, don’t miss the market on a Wednesday morning!
You are of course in the heart of this formidable area of vineyards, idyllic villages, world-renowned towns and summer landscapes of sunflowers and lavender both in Les Alpilles and beyond. Eygalières, Les Baux-de-Provence and Avignon are all within easy reach as well as Van Gogh’s beloved Arles, mesmerising Luberon and the wonderful Camargue, which can easily be visited in a day.
Whether exploring the local markets, cycling through lavender fields or pony trekking through the magnificent countryside, this region is sure to offer memorable activities for all ages.
After a day exploring you can return to your immaculately restored restful farmhouse and relax in the calm surroundings of this delightful part of Provence.
