I would echo all the reviews this villa has received… it is an exceptional property. To quote a recent review, it is truly “spacious and stylish with a well-appointed kitchen.” My group thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor space with its large pool, beautiful gardens and gathering areas. As has been noted by others, this villa is well situated for exploring. For us, it was Avignon to the north… neighboring St Remy de Provence and Les Baux to the near south, Pont du Gard and Nimes to the west… and the beautiful mountain village of Gourdes to the east… (special even past the lavender harvest.) The small village of Eyragues less than 5 minutes away provided us with very good eating and drinking experiences. I would point out a challenge that I would not be overly critical of… Water is a precious commodity in the area, and the pressure in the house was poor if in high demand, as in 6 adults looking to shower in the morning. We worked it out, no one went without, but it should be noted. Addressing other practical concerns… the beds were comfortable, the house was very clean, Wi-Fi in the communal spaces worked well and the TV was terrific. Finally, and like all the other reviews, I would give special applause to Poun, the concierge. She was welcoming, always responsive to my texts and provided a long list of helpful suggestions which we relied on. She is a charming ambassador for the villa… and among the many reasons to give high marks.

This villa is every bit as beautiful as the pictures. It is a spacious and stylish home with a well-appointed kitchen. It's on a large property with lovely gardens and lots of birdsong. It's a 10 minute drive from St. Remy de Provence, which is a charming town with lots of good restaurants, and it was an easy jumping off point for us to tour all around Provence--Avignon, Arles, Les Baux, Pont du Gard,Aix and Marseilles. This house is designed for relaxing around shared meals and enjoying the pool, so be sure to allow plenty of time for that. I have special gratitude to Poun, the concierge, who was not only exceptionally gracious and helpful in finding local highlights and resources, but who also spent several hours looking for my lost wedding ring.

We enjoyed our vacation at the 'Mas des Alpilles'. What we particularly liked was the very spacious and comfortable house, large enough for our family (8 adults and 3 children). The house is fully air-conditioned, which was definitely necessary given the heatwave during our stay. On the other hand, there is a spacious covered area that stays in the shade all day, where you can actually spend most of your time. From this covered area, you have a beautiful view of the garden and the pool. Since the pool is coverable, we didn't have to worry about the safety of the children. The pool, measuring 12 x 5 meters, is very spacious and certainly larger than an average pool. Evenings are spent in the lounge at the foot of the pool. The house is located in a very quiet area, about 1.5 km from a typical quiet French village without mass tourism. Who would suspect that behind the large gate there is a beautiful garden with a driveway lined with cypress trees? Since our family consisted of 4 households, the spacious parking for the cars was definitely appreciated. The house is in a perfect location to further explore Provence, without congested roads and traffic jams. There is smooth contact with a very helpful concierge in case of any problems. This holiday accommodation has pleased us so much that we are definitely considering returning next year. In doing so, we are breaking our usual rule " life is too short to go on vacation to the same place twice."

Very comfortable home. Great pool area and gardens really make it lovely and relaxing. Well equipped kitchen.
