Experience the charm of Provence with a stay at Villa du Mistral, a contemporary holiday home on the edge of the picturesque town of Châteaurenard, between Avignon and St-Rémy-de-Provence.
This attractively designed villa blends modern elegance with traditional Provençal character, featuring exposed stone walls, wooden beams alongside bright air-conditioned interiors. Relax with family and friends in the lounge or sip local wine from the Rhône valley as you perch by the kitchen island as Provençal meals are prepared.
There are four welcoming bedrooms allowing Villa du Mistral to sleep up to 8 guests. The double on the ground floor features a queen-size double and shower room. There are three further bedrooms upstairs, two doubles (one with a queen-size, the other with a king-size bed) and a twin bedroom, all with en suite bath or shower rooms.
Step outside to enjoy al-fresco meals on the patio or soak up the sun on the stylish terrace surrounding the swimming pool. The pool house is another welcome addition with its own summer kitchen, perfect for poolside lunches or feasts on warm summer evenings.
Just 1.5km away, the historic heart of Châteaurenard offers a taste of authentic Provence with its bustling weekly market, historic château ruins, shops and restaurants. A little further afield, the majestic city of Avignon, with its renowned Palais des Papes and stunning bridge, is just over 12km away.
For art lovers and history enthusiasts, St-Rémy-de-Provence, the inspiration for Van Gogh's masterpieces, and the breathtaking Roman aqueduct of Pont du Gard are other must-visit destinations. Nature enthusiasts can explore the rugged beauty of Les Alpilles or meander through the canals of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, famous for its antique markets and waterside charm.
Whether you seek relaxation by the pool, cultural excursions, or gourmet experiences, Villa du Mistral is a fantastic base for an unforgettable holiday in southern France.
A short drive south of the historic city of Avignon, this semi-detached dwelling is set on a country lane close to the outskirts of Châteaurenard (1.5km). Ideally located between Avignon and St-Rémy-de-Provence, this picturesque town is the gateway to some of the region’s most iconic sights. Châteaurenard offers an authentic blend of history and culture. Wander through its characterful centre, soak in the views from the medieval castle ruins, and experience the warm hospitality that defines the south of France. There is a good-sized supermarket less than 1km away whilst the heart of the historic quarter is just a little further with its restaurants, shops and bustling Sunday morning market. If walking to the town, please note that part of the route does not have a pavement. A short drive away, immerse yourself in the grandeur of Avignon (12.5km), home to the magnificent Palais des Papes and the famous Pont Saint-Bénézet, both UNESCO World Heritage sites. Visit wonderful restaurants and wine-bars across the small historic city, look out for atmospheric markets and even hire bikes to cycle across to île de la Barthelasse, the Rhône’s largest river island. Meanwhile, history enthusiasts will be just as enchanted by the UNESCO-listed Pont du Gard (35km), an ancient Roman aqueduct that stands as a marvel of engineering, a fine spot for riverside picnics as well as canoeing/kayaking. Heading south instead, venture towards St-Rémy-de-Provence (11km) and the landscapes of Les Alpilles, where Van Gogh found his inspiration. Here, cobbled streets, art galleries, high-end restaurants and traditional cafés create an irresistible charm. If you crave more scenic beauty, L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (25km)—often called the Venice of Provence—beckons with its winding canals, vibrant antique markets, and riverside cafés. Continue into the enchanting Luberon, where rolling lavender fields, hilltop villages, and picturesque landscapes offer a true taste of the Provençal dream. For wine lovers, the renowned vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape (27km) and the Rhône Valley are also just a stone’s throw away. Indulge in world-class tastings at prestigious domaines, sampling full-bodied reds that have made this region legendary. Closer to home, golf enthusiasts can enjoy a relaxing round at Golf de Barbentane (10km), where verdant greens meet Provençal landscapes.
