Luxurious, air-conditioned villa, ten minutes stroll to vibrant Eygalieres

Wonderful Stay in Eygalieres

This property fulfilled everything we were looking for; Our group covered a wide age range and we were all equally pleased with it. The only fly in the ointment was that VRBO did not communicate with us as they should have done which left me wondering why we were paying a service charge to them.

Perfect

We are a group of 8 friends for over 40 years. The week was an experience that we will never forget. The villa was beautiful, spacious, stocked with everything and supported by the owner 100%. The village (walking distance) had superb restaurants, bakery, historical sites, etc. The location was central to the region; thus, made day trips easy. The owner went beyond expectations to make our stay enjoyable including making recommendations and reservations at incredible restaurants; responding to any questions about the home; and generally, being available. My favorite was giving us parking sites in the different towns which were the most efficient. The whole group would highly recommend this VRBO.

A stay above and beyond our best expectations

There are not enough words to describe our family reunion time at this magical villa in Eygaliers. In fact, for frequent travelers like us this stay will remain in our memories as simply the best one. I am afraid we now have been spoiled for ever. Every detail was thought through. From the welcoming wine and cheese to greet tired guests to a very informative booklet about how to navigate our way around the property and surroundings. The housekeeper was always on hand and attended to our smallest needs in no time. I would like to say a few words about our host. From the day we booked the villa in January and through the whole stay there in September, 2023 , he was always available to answer our questions and give us the perfect recommendations and tips for local excursions and, most important, restaurants to eat. It was very nice and easy to communicate with him. Any questions we asked were returned instantly with the most precise information and willingness to help. And, make no mistake, there were lots and lots of questions. Every restaurant Thore recommended turned out to be a fantastic choice, and we are not an easy crowd to please. Dear Thore, thank you for everything! You made us feel special! The only bad thing we all agree on was the fact that we had to leave that soon. With gratitude, Helen and the family

Très, très jolie, magnifique!!!

Wir haben uns im sehr gepflegten und geschmackvollen Haus und Anwesen sehr wohl gefühlt! Es war für uns von der Einteilung her optimal. Das Wetter war leider nicht so gut, was für diese Zeit eher ungewöhnlich ist. Wir haben uns meist in der tollen Außenküche und dem dazugehörigen, überdachten Sitzbereich aufgehalten (mit Blick auf den herrlichen Pool, den wir auch genutzt haben!) Eygalierès liegt für Ausflüge günstig, der Markt und die Geschäfte sind bequem zu Fuß zu erreichen. Die Ruhe war sehr angenehm für die Erholung.

Excellent séjour en famille dans la Maison du Procia au coeur des Alpilles

Nous avons passé 2 semaines en famille ( 12 personnes) plus qu'agréables au cœur des Alpilles, installés dans cette belle maison très fonctionnelle, vaste et très bien équipée (en particulier les 2 cuisines intérieure et extérieure!). A 2 pas du centre du charmant village d'Eygalières et à 15 min de voiture de St Rémy de Provence, cette demeure est idéalement placée, au calme, bien protégée du vent et à distance réduite de très nombreux sites et villages à visiter (Arles, Les Baux de Provence, domaines viticoles...). Après le Lubéron en 2021, les Alpilles sont à nouveau une très belle découverte. Un petit mot pour Gwen qui nous a accueillis en début de séjour et qui a toujours été hyper réactive et agréable durant les 15 jours. Merci Gwen! Et merci Thore de nous avoir permis, grâce à votre belle maison parfaitement située, de découvrir une région que nous connaissions peu. Amicalement, Charlotte, Alexandre & toute la famille ;-)

Fabulous villa

A superb villa that had loads of space for the 9 of us. The outside kitchen (fridge, freezer, oven and dishwasher) was brilliant and we had many evenings using the BBQ and the cooker. The pool was impressive and cleaned once a week. The garden had many areas to cool off during the hot days and there was even table tennis for the more energetic. It was a 10 minute walk into town for the croissants and baguettes and there were many restaurants to choose from, as well as a weekly market on a Friday. The area is central to all the main tourist routes and car journeys to most took less than an hour. Thore the host was knowledgeable and always responsive to any query, and Gwen was on hand if needed and very helpful The holiday was 5* from start to finish. We've stayed in many villas across France, but this was by far the best.

The BEST VRBO experience we've ever had!

We were in Spain and France celebrating my husband's retirement. I cannot tell you enough how wonderful it was to work with Thore, the property owner! He was such a delight and helped us out with every question and need that we had! The check-in and instructions were very easy and they were so accommodating as we were arriving late on a train! The home was absolutely wonderful and fit every need we had! We could not have asked for anything more! This property and owner were by far the best VRBO we've ever stayed at/dealt with! (and we've stayed at a lot of them) We will definitely stay here if we are ever back in Provence! I HIGHLY recommend this property! Thank you Thore for a wonderful vacation experience! Kathy

Beautiful property in idyllic surroundings

This was a beautiful property, made only more perfect by the stunning location. Great for big groups.. although one of the bedrooms is slightly isolated with no toilet (all of this was known in advance) ... so just needed some thought around who would be best place to take this room. The house came equipped with lots of provisions, hence no need to go out and buy tonnes of stuff on day 1. Garden and pool were tended to weekly .. and there was a linen change mid-stay. Thore was very helpful if providing lots of information regarding the house, the local area and recommendations for restaurants and days out ... I genuinely don't think I have ever stayed at a HomeAway property that was so comprehensively described - and true to its description.

Wonderful stay, ideal location, great host!

We had a wonderful time staying in Eygalières. The villa is in an ideal location, just a couple of minutes cycle or drive from the beautiful village which has everything you could need (boulangerie, grocery stores, several restaurants, bars, a weekly market etc). Additionally you are close enough for day trips to St Rémy, Aix, Arles, Isles Sur la Sourges, Avignon (we went to all in our 5 night stay without feeling we’d spent the whole time in a car) and for exploring the beautiful and numerous local vineyards. The villa itself was perfect for us - a group of 10 adult friends plus 1 child. But it would also suit families. There were plenty of bathrooms to go round and the bedrooms were all spacious and comfortable. The pool was the perfect temperature, and the outdoor kitchen was a real highlight - we loved cooking and eating outdoors. Best of all, however was the warm welcome of Thore who was a wonderful host. He ensured the villa was kitted out for an infant, sent us very comprehensive guides of the area and for the villa, and was very helpful with numerous restaurant recommendations in the vicinity. We would not hesitate to recommend the villa to a friend or return ourselves.

Heaven is a place in Eygalières

Thanks to the wonderful preparation and the warm welcoming of the hosts we had the most wonderful and relaxing holidays in this absolutely overwhelming house. The outdoor kitchen gives you the opportunity to enjoy the preparation of delicious meals outside at the pool and the house is ideal for a whole family up to 12 people. The pictures don't reveal the real beauty of the house and the surroundings. We will for sure be returning next year.

Marvelous residence, wonderful hosts, and a charming part of France

Our family of 10, including two grand-children, stayed at this wonderful villa in Eygalières for one week in late June, 2017. This was a relaxed stay, made more enjoyable by the attention provided by our hosts, Thore and Liselott, who prepared the house expertly prior to our visit. They graciously greeted us on our arrival and gave us a thorough tour of the house and grounds. Thore courteously provided some good recommendations for area restaurants and things to see and do in the region. Liselott was there promptly when we were checking out at the end of the week. Thank you! There were several great restaurants/bistros in town where we had dinner on a few occasions. Bistro L’Aubergine was superb! I will review this and others on TripAdvisor. The house had very comfortable space and en suite bathrooms for most of our bedrooms, as well as a nice pool house and a well equipped outdoor kitchen. The main kitchen was big and also well stocked with great appliances. The heated pool was inviting, and we used it often. In summary, our stay was superb, in large part because of the attention generously provided us by our hosts, not only on site, but before our arrival. Thore was very responsive to questions we posed prior to our booking, and arrival. He kindly sent us additional photos of the house in response to questions we asked. Thank you Thore and Liselott!

About the host

Hosted by Thore Eilertsen

Host profile image
The owners are francophile Norwegians who always dreamt of a place in the sun where favourable climatic conditions meet with peace, tranquility, a beautiful landscape, ancient and contemporary culture, and, not the least, a wonderful culinary offering .

Why they chose this property

We came to the Alpilles area back in 1990 and immediately fell in love with the beauty of the landscape, the quaint villages, the food, the wine and all the cultural attractions on offer within a short distance.

For a number of years we rented houses in different villages until we one day came to Eygalieres, stepped out of the car, looked at each other and said; "this is it, this is the place we want to stay when we visit the Alpilles area". So, after a couple of years renting in Eygalieres, we decided that we wanted our own place with our own style and amenities. Since we spend most of our time in the northern part of Europe, we had to think convenience and "operational efficiency" when visiting. This led to a house concept that lends itself to an easy life with all necessary amenities close at hand. So, upon arrival, we feel we are in a Provencal "heaven" from the first minute of our either long weekend or holiday.

What makes this property unique

The house has a high degree of privacy, and is laid out mostly on ground floor. Together with the pool house and exterior kitchen, the house forms a large windbreaker that makes it pleasant to stay outside most of the year.

The location is very good as the house is situated at the end of a well lit street (street lights does not extend beyond the house), convenient when walking home from any one of the seven restaurants in the village.

The interior is spacious, with all rooms providing volumes of air and light. The interior is held in a Scandinavian style combing function with clean design.

Amenities are extensive, exclusive and functional as exemplified by beautifully tiled bathrooms with high quality lighting and appliances, all bedrooms quipped with very comfortable beds normally found in luxury hotels, two fully equipped modern granite top kitchens, high quality sun beds, extensive and atmospheric evening lights, and so on.
