Le Patio Du Soleil

Description

This attractive traditional country residence enjoys enviable space and privacy only a ten minute walk from the centre of St-Remy-de-Provence, one of the most picturesque towns in the region.

Enclosed grounds, lined by a variety of mature trees, surround the splendid heated pool with space to lounge under parasols next to the neat olive tree dotted lawn. There are two spacious terraces between pool and house where al fresco diners can choose sunshine or shade to accompany their meal and young people will just love the love the outside space and sports room.

Step inside to relax in sizeable and comfortably furnished rooms with cooling systems on both levels. The interior is tastefully renovated and modernised with white washed walls adjacent to ceiling beams while furnishings and art work are contemporary and stylish with some interesting character pieces.

St-Remy is located on the plains at the northern edge of Les Alpilles and is the town where Nostrodamus was born and Van Gogh painted Starry Night. Here you can enjoy the charm of a typically Provencal way of life by strolling along the boulevards, exploring restaurants and shops, browsing at the Wednesday morning market or visiting the galleries where resident artists display their work.

There is so much to do in this area of idyllic villages, famous towns, vineyards and glimpses of vibrant summer sunflowers. Nearby Les Baux-de-Provence has charming squares and narrow streets with stunning views across the Crau plain, the Camargue and the city of Arles. Mausanne-les-Alpilles is yet another delightful village and you shouldn't miss the hill top village of Eygalieres, one of the prettiest spots in Provence where a handful of celebrities appreciate peace and privacy.

Take a boat trip on the Rhone in Avignon or stop at the other historic city of Arles as you journey to La Camargue with its wild terrain, beaches, windswept white horses and iconic pink flamingos. There are so many activities to be found here, ranging from riding, trekking and quad biking to jeep tours across this extraordinary landscape.
