Unwind by the swimming pool surrounded by olive trees and towering pines, before seeking a shady spot for a cool drink on the covered terrace, just over 2km from the heart of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.
This air-conditioned 6-bedroom villa features ample room for everyone, whether a group of friends wishing to experience the joys of Provence or a family looking to spend quality time in spacious surroundings. The open living and dining space leads straight through to the TV lounge, then there’s the games room for a spot of table football or billard américain. We love how sliding doors from the contemporary kitchen open out to the al-fresco dining terrace. Make the most of the plancha-style barbecue and enjoy feasts and perhaps a glass of good local wine as you look out to the picturesque garden.
Each bedroom has been comfortably designed with upholstered beds and lovely furnishings. Four of the six bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms and there’s plenty of space for each guest to find some privacy.
The grounds are such a Provençal joy and there are glimpses of Les Alpilles hills as you chill out on the sofas beneath the cooling trees. There is plenty of space for kids to play, an atmospheric pétanque court and of course the glorious 10m long swimming pool which will appeal to everyone.
Saint-Rémy awaits just a short drive away where you can soak up the artistic ambience as you come across charming shops, art galleries, restaurants and the weekly Wednesday morning market.

Location:
Just over 2km from the heart of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, in a calming setting with other villas dotted around, L’Hirondelle Provençale is in a fantastic location for exploring the Parc Naturel Régional des Alpilles and beyond, with Avignon just half an hour by car.
You can reach Saint-Rémy in around 5 minutes by car, a charming town that is famed for its artistic ambience where Vincent Van Gogh created so many works of art. Come across studios and galleries as you wander down little lanes, follow the Van Gogh trail ending at Saint-Paul de Mausole and look out for art markets in the summer.
The Wednesday morning market is also delightful where you can pick up a wealth of seasonal produce from across Provence. Food lovers will also appreciate the atmospheric range of restaurants in the town whilst wine connoisseurs can visit some of the wineries close to Saint-Rémy (as well as travelling further afield to vineyards around the Luberon and Rhône valley).
Visit the idyllic village of Les Baux-de-Provence (13km) and its impressive château, take long walks through spectacular landscapes of orchards, woodland and olive groves, enjoy a leisurely lunch out in Maussane-les-Alpilles (12km) and sample some of France’s finest olive oil produced from the region’s olive trees – both Maussane-les-Alpilles and Mouriès are well known for their olive oil production.
Other characterful gems of Les Alpilles include villages such as Orgon and Eygalières or head a little further towards the artistic town of Arles, the gateway to the Camargue. The Luberon also awaits with idyllic perched villages such as Gordes, Ménerbes and Bonnieux all reached within 45 to 50 minutes by car, not to mention yet more hiking and cycling opportunities through the stunning landscapes.
Not forgetting the small city of Avignon (22km) with its UNESCO World Heritage sites, enchanting and artistic Aix-en-Provence (70km) and even the Mediterranean coast – Cassis (120km) and the Calanques National Park would make a fantastic day out.
