Walking distance from St Remy, an ideal Provence village
This very well provided large home is a 20 minute direct walk into village center & a 5 minute walk from the hospital where Van Gogh spent a year & did much of his later works. We were 6, 3 couples & each had a king bedroom with en suite bathroom..there were 2 extra bedrooms we used as dressing/storage. The kitchen had every thing we needed including olive oil, balsamic vinegar, spices, all sorts of glassware, plates,& implements, we missed a coffee grinder & salad spinner but didn’t expect them…this house was better supplied than any other I’ve stayed in. The garden is large& well maintained & of course a large pool but it was a bit too cool to swim yet. Towels & sheets were of good quality & plentiful, really everything is well thought out making it quite comfortable. I would stay again without any hesitation

Absolutely beautiful!
We were seven in total and the house was large enough to accommodate us all. The owners have taken great care in making the experience for their guests truly feel perfect, and communication with the owner was great. The house does not lack one thing. All is available for you to feel right at home. The house and linens were very clean. The grounds are amazing with the plants and the trees and of course the pool. The location could not be more perfect as you are a ten minute walk from the center of town in one direction. And another short walk in another and you are at the Roman ruins, Van Gogh’s asylum, a winery and the lake. The only improvement needed is in the checking in and out process. We did not hear from the property manager on how to access the property and what the codes were to open the two gates until literally the last minute. We were forced to park our car in town and try to walk towards the property to see if anyone was there waiting. And upon checking out after having agreed on a time with that same property manager, another person showed up to collect the keys, late, delaying my brother-in-law’s departure. This did not affect our vacation or stay but did create a bit of unneeded stress.

Best French House Ever
We lived in Paris in the 1980s and since retiring in 1997 have rented holiday homes in Provence and Occitanie about 40 times. Without doubt, this was the best house we have ever stayed in. Not only was the house spacious and beautiful, its location was perfect. In one direction it was a short walk to the the excellent St Remy market. In the other direction it was a short walk to the splendid Greco-Roman ruins at Glanum. We give the house the highest possible recommendation and hope to return soon.

Charmante maison à st Remy de Provence
La maison est charmante, située au calme au bout d'un long chemin. Elle est hyper bien équipée. Très jolie terrasse ombragée .le seul point négatif fut la procédure d'arrivée: J'avais à deux reprises demandé par mail à la propriétaire le n de téléphone du responsable sur place, pour l'arrivée et avoir les clés. On m'avait assuré que cette personne me téléphonerait, il n'en a rien été. J'avais précisé à la propriétaire que nous serions à 16 heures sur place ,et à notre arrivée : personne. Moment d'angoisse, car le téléphone de la propriétaire est sur la messagerie. Heureusement, le responsable nous rappelle et nous attendons une demi heure son arrivée. C'est le seul moment qui ne fut pas parfait. Manque de communication. Le personnel sur place que nous avions demandé est plus que gentil et efficace . La maison est arrangée par des personnes qui aiment la région et la cuisine est hyper équipée. 4 chambres sont climatisées. Coin piscine absolument parfait.Mon souhait le plus cher; y revenir.

Nous avons réside dans cette demeure pendant une semaine. Nous étions trois couples de jeunes retraités. La propriété permet beaucoup d'espace pour chacun et chaque couple y a donc ses propres quartiers. Il n'y manque rien . Tout a été bien réfléchi. La cuisine est très grande et permet que tous peuvent participer à l'élaboration des repas.Le lieu est très chaleureux et on s'y sent très bien des l'arrivée . Nous y avons passé d'excellents moments qui seront enregistrés dans notre mémoire à jamais. Un grand merci à la propriétaire de son hospitalité.

Exceptional stay at Les Oliviers
This is a belated review of our exceptional stay at Les Oliviers. From the moment we arrived for our four week stay we felt at home. Never in our experience of renting holiday houses in France, USA and Australia have we found such a gem. The house is very well laid out and spacious. The bedrooms are all well fitted out and the beds comfortable. The weekly house cleaning provided by Carine and her team significantly reduced housekeeping for our long stay. For one of the weeks we had 10 adults staying and found that there was enough space for all of us to sit and eat whether inside or out. At no stage did anyone feel that their space was cramped. We also made good use of the pool and garden. The eat-in kitchen is very well equipped with plenty of crockery, cutlery, glasses and cooking equipment. The SMEG cooker was ideal and put to good use by our group, all whom are keen foodies. There is an extra refrigerator in the laundry which came in handy for cooling the wine and beer as well as the overflow from the kitchen refrigerator. The laundry is well set up with separate washer and dryer and there is plenty of outside clothesline space. We comfortably parked two cars but found that we could squeeze in three medium sized cars at a pinch. There are plenty of extra spaces at the St Paul de Mausole car park about 250 metres away, if needed. St Remy is an ideal place to base yourself in the western part of Provence. During our stay we went to at least 20 “must see” attractions within an hour’s drive as well as little bit further afield to Aix-en-Provence and Marseille. The St Remy, Eygalieres and Maussane markets are well worth going to for fresh produce, meat and cheese. The Intermarche supermarket has everything and the smaller Super U Express (within walking distance) is handy for last minute items. Thank you Dominique for creating such a wonderful place to stay.

Exactly What We Dreamed Of......
We stayed for memorable 2 weeks in September l with our family. The house was perfect- 3 couples & 3 toddlers,. the owner was very accommodating, providing 2 cribs & high chairs. The large house is 10 yrs old but old Provençal style, meticulously cared for with 5 bdrms. The downstairs bdrm is isolated from all house sounds- great for us the grandparents-separate show & toilet room & small office/play area/bedroom. The 4 bedrooms upstairs can be used individually or as separate, 2 bedroom suites. There were plenty of showers, sinks & toilets for all & 1 bathtub. The living space was perfect for the 9 of us, furnishings simple, chic & easy to childproof! There is a large dining table in the open plan living room dining area. The well equipped kitchen had a large table & chairs too. Working dishwasher, washer/dryer, outside drying line. We ate outside daily in the lanai with large table and French café chairs right off kitchen. The well kept and landscaped yard had grass & a large fenced in pool , Parking for 2 cars. Location Ideal: quick walk into town & easy access to restaurants, cafes, & shops –so we were largely car free! It was a shorter walk to the asylum where van Gogh spent a year, the Mas de la Pyramide, where we took the kids for lunch amid ducks, geese and peacocks, & its 92 year old owner, and the nearby Roman ruins at Glanum. Very closeby by car: Les Baux, Arles, Avignon, etc. Some rented motor assisted bikes (a must with the hills). A weekly outdoor market in the town & a merry go round were a major hits! The produce stores were good, there are very good patisseries and boulangeries, etc and reasonable restaurants in the town so shopping for food was easy, fun, high quality. Les Baux hosts a 2 star Michelin restaurant. Nearby towns were unique & wonderful to visit. Locale: 30 minute drive from Avignon TGV station (rental cars) & 50 minute drive from the Marseille airport outside city.. In summary, this is a great house & location, outstanding owner/managers-perfect for a family reunion including small children, short walk to town so you can live Provencal! We are recommending it to our friends and hope to return in a few years with the family again!

Fantastic house for large family
We had a very nice week in this wonderful house, celebrating our 70th birthdays. We were a 3 generation family, 6 adoults and 5 children( 6-18) and the house was just perfect for us. We never felt crowded. A lot of nice meals were prepared in the Kitchen which had everything a cook needed. As it was very hot in July we spent a lot of time by the pool. The children loved it.We took small tours in the wineyards and neighbourhood on our bikes, but it was too hot for more!! St Remy is simply a gem we loved strolling around in the streets. In the house were the bathrooms provided with savon liquide etc.and fortunately we found a shop in St Remy, where we could buy this soap and bring the smell back to our home and think of Les Oliviers when using it. We would like to to come back but next time in September. Carine was a perfect accomodating housekeeper. Thanks to you, Dominique, for lettings us rent your wonderful house.

Great property in a prime location
We enjoyed a week+ of a family vacation here, the house really has everything that you may need. We were with small children and the house had both a cot and a high chair. The kitchen is large and the dining area is by the living room. The location is great , we could get to all of the key attraction in the area within less than an hour of driving, which exactly what we were looking for, plus some attractions within a walking distance (Wed Market). The house was fully equipped and st Remy is really 10 min away, had a little nice town and a good grocery store within a driving distance. It was an Ideal place for us Thank you

Perfect Villa
We were a group of 6 long-time friends celebrating our 60th birthdays, and spent a week at this villa. This home was perfect in every way. The kitchen was very cheerful and extremely well equipped. The living areas were spacious, and bedrooms very comfortable. The landscaping is lovely. We enjoyed the pool and the outdoor dining area. The views from the villa were very much like a Van Gogh painting. It was an easy walk into San Remy and up to St. Pauls and Glanum. San Remy is a very charming town, and is in a great location for exploring other sites in Provence. We would recommend this villa to anyone - and hope to return.

Charming Provencal Mas in St Rémy De Provence,
We were a group of 10 adults, and had a lovely time at this property. It was well equipped and had enough room and privacy for everyone. It was a short walk to town and ruins. We did not have a car with us and the van we hired for day trips had trouble getting to the house because of the driveway. The owner left lots if information about the town and Carine was available to answer any questions that we might have.

Charming
My family of six adults and two children just vacationed at this lovely home and we all agreed that it was a perfect place in which to relax and enjoy St.Remy. The house is well equipped. There were enough bedrooms for all and the layout allowed for everyone to have privacy and space. The pool was a great size and well maintained. The landscaping is beautiful. We had many meals al fresco while enjoying the garden. The kitchen is large and had everything necessary for cooking and serving. The owner, Dominique, was gracious and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Her property manager was most helpful and easy to contact. There is a large notebook provided containing all of the necessary information about the house, St.Remy and the nearby sights. Many interesting places in Provence are within driving distance. The town was an easy 12 minute walk from the house. We were well pleased with everything and plan to return.

Magnifique séjour aux Oliviers de Saint Paul.
Nous souhaitions un séjour ressourçant sous le ciel de la Provence et ce fût le cas. La maison est idéalement située dans le village de Saint Rémy de Provence, à 800 m à pied du cœur du village. La vue sur la magnifique chaîne des Alpilles est indéniablement un point positif. Nous avons pu partir de la maison à pied, pour visiter le site de Glanum ainsi que faire des jogging et randonnées dans les Alpilles et rejoindre le village des Baux de Provence. Nous avons également pu descendre à pied faire quelques emplettes dans Saint Rémy, village provençal typique à taille humaine, avec de très bons restaurants, bars à vins, et autres échoppes de produits régionaux. La taille de la maison permet à la fois d’être en groupe et d’avoir des moments pour soi. Chaque chambre est équipée d’une belle salle de bains. Les lits sont très confortables. Le salon permet de passer des moments très conviviaux, ainsi que la cuisine provençal typique et la terrasse ombragée d’une tonnelle accompagnée du barbecue pour les soirées entre amis. La piscine est juste parfaite, sécurisée pour les enfants, et avec différents niveaux permettant à la fois les plongeons et les jeux de ballons. Le jardin est très joli avec de nombreux oliviers et des coins de verdure ce qui nous a permis de faire des parties de badminton. Saint Rémy est situé au centre des lieux intéressants de la Provence, nous avons ainsi pu visiter la ville d’Arles, le Palais des Papes d’Avignon, les villages typiques aux alentours avec Eygalières pour son huile d’olive, les Baux de Provence et sa cathédrale d’image. Enfin, en tant que passionnés de vins, nous avons pu déguster sur les domaines de quelques vignerons locaux. Châteauneuf du Pape est à peine à 45 min de route. Dominique est toujours disponible pour nos questions sur la maison et sur les bons plans des alentours. Après ce séjour, nous recommandons vivement les Oliviers de Saint Paul et nous espérons avoir le temps de revenir très prochainement.

The Quintessential Provencal Experience!
I HIGHLY recommend this lovely home in St. Remy. I celebrated my 40th birthday with friends and their significant others, so this large home was perfect. We also hired a personal chef that Dominique had recommended. I love Provence and hope to return someday. Thank you Dominique for such a memorable experience! Pros: - Location, location, location. There is so much to explore that is walking distance, from the charming and ritzy town of St. Remy, to the Glanum, Picasso's mausoleum, and more. Great hub for driving to explore the Provence region. There is something for everyone. - Walking to delicious restaurants and charming shops - Gourmet kitchen and all the equipment - Alfresco patio dining - we spent many breakfasts and afternoons hanging outside, playing games - Lots of dining areas if you plan to eat local - Master bedroom is located in a private wing - Spacious house for large groups! - Large pool Cons: - While there are multiple bathrooms, I believe there are only 2 true master bathrooms (one downstairs and one upstairs); the remaining upstairs bedrooms (3 of them) have a private sink/shower in the room, but share a toilet (or 1/2 bath) in the upstairs hallway. Then there is another toilet (1/2 bath) downstairs.

Perfect House for a Large Group
We rented this house for our group trip to Provence in October. The house is in the perfect location and easy walk to town & a short drive to local villages and tourist sights. St Remy has a lot to offer with beautiful restaurants, great markets & it's own charm. The house was extremely well equipped and we never ran out of crockery, cutlery & glasses. Everything was in working order & there was plenty of room for a large group. Dominique was always able to be reached by email or phone. I would highly recommend this house to anyone wanting a fantastic Provençal experience.

100% Satisfied! Absolutely Perfect!
We highly recommend “Les Oliviers de Saint Paul” to anyone looking to visit Provence generally and Saint-Rémy specifically. We recently stayed there in a group of 10 adults and four kids (all under 3) and the property helped make our week-long Provence vacation a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The location was perfect for our varied needs. It was within easy walking distance of the Saint-Rémy city center and key local sites (Saint-Paul de Mausole; Glanum Roman ruins), yet was far enough outside the “city” to allow plenty of peace and quiet for those who simply wanted to relax. And for those interested in exploring the region, Saint-Rémy’s central location provided easy access (less than 1 hour by car) to many of Provence’s most scenic towns / sites. The beautiful house / property accommodated our large group very comfortably and offered all the conveniences of being in your own “home”. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor patio, where we had dinner / drinks most nights, and the sizeable yard and pool area, which were heavily utilized by both the adults and the kids. The only downside was that the house / property is so nice that you almost lose any motivation to explore beyond its gates (which would be a shame)! Lastly, Mme Viard was very responsive to our specific needs. She arranged for cribs and high-chairs for all the little ones (at no charge) and recommended a local babysitter so the adults could get out for a very nice dinner in town one evening. And whenever we had any questions – before, during or after the rental – she was easily reachable by phone / email.

Perfect for our needs
We rented this beautiful home out in the country as a base of operations for our visit to Provence. The location was perfect in St. Remy as we could drive to just about anywhere within Provence in about an hour. We were within walking distance to the hospital Van Gogh committed himself into as well as the Roman ruins (both worth a visit). The house itself was immaculate - new construction with an old-world feel. The pictures don't really do the house justice as there is a lot of space in the house. The big, modern kitchen made it easy for us to cook dinner and we enjoyed eating in the kitchen and outside on the porch. Each of the bedrooms were clean and charming - the views from the upstairs rooms were great! One small concern was that the owner often took a while to respond to inquiries and to refund deposits (but did so eventually). We were also confused as to why the VRBO site says that the home comes with post-stay housekeeping but we were required (by the owners' contract) to strip the beds, bring sheets and towels downstairs, and to make sure the toilets (French for bathroom?) were clean. There was a sizable cleaning deposit paid so we felt obligated to perform these tasks. Aside from these minor issues, the house was well worth the rental and we would stay there again in the future.

Fun in Provence
We absolutely loved this property!! It was everything that was in the listing and more. We ate breakfast every morning inside at the lovely kitchen table. We ate dinner every night outside under the arbor. We never used the dining room table; no need! The weather was perfect so we enjoyed the beautiful garden!! We didn't have time to use the pool but the pool area was lovely too!! We walked down the lane to St. Remy and it only took 10 minutes!! Such a great location for a vacation home. We had everything that we needed to make a perfect week for 4 couples sharing a house. The beds were very comfortable and we had plenty of toilets and showers for everyone. We paid our deposit when we arrived, took good care of the house and furnishings during the week, and received all of our deposit back from Christian the next Saturday. We were so pleased and we would rent this house again if we were to visit Provence again!!

Marc C., Where do you live?

Perfect for our extended family
This was our first experience with VRBO and it could not have been more pleasant. Our group included three couples, two teenagers and a little girl, age 2, and the house not only met our needs, it exceeded all expectations. All the previous good reviews explained the charms and advantages of this beautiful home better than I can. We loved the pool after a hot day of touring and the baby loved the freedom of the fenced garden. The pool is also fenced, which gave peace of mind to her parents. A baby bed and even toys were ready for the little one. The large table on the patio was our gathering place for morning coffee and evening dining (and drinking!). Early birds will enjoy the sunrises and the view of the hills from the second floor master bedroom. We liked being able to walk to the centre ville, which avoided having to compete for parking (about 10 minutes). Dominique and Adrien were most helpful and Adrien met our car when we got lost trying to find the house. No real negatives. The internet was intermittent, but worked most of the time. All in all, a perfect week in Provence, due in large part to this wonderful home away from home. We cleaned up before leaving and Dominique promptly returned our deposits.

Since the first time my husband and I went to Saint Rémy de Provence, we have been dazzled by the Alpilles light, the characteristic scent of the provencal markets, the taste of the olive oil and of the rosé wine of les Baux de Provence. Our dream then, was to build a house where we could welcome our children and friends. Saint Rémy's charm and authenticity were the reasons of our immediate choice. We hope you'll have as much of a great experience of the unique Provence lifestyle that St Rémy provides as we did and still do.

Why they chose this property

We love Provence and its lifestyle, the light, painted by so many artists like Van Gogh or Cezanne, the sunshine weather. We choose St Rémy as it is a charming and lovely village. The house is a ten minute walk from the historical center, which makes it very convenient. It is in a very quiet area and the pool and the garden are very peaceful. Finally, the access is very easy from Paris (2hrs 40min by TGV train)

What makes this property unique

The open-air provencal market (on Wednesdays in Saint Rémy):this regionally well-known market will offer you a varied choice of fresh products, provencal fabrics, locally produced olive oil. You will be amazed by the profusion of colors and scents which will submerge you!
You will love to cook these beautiful fresh produce in the large kitchen very well equipped for a "chef"!!

The Alpilles Hills: These hills are very close to the house and the tracks can be used by any walker (children, families, hikers), runner or mountain biker. Road bikers also enjoy the unique landscapes of Provence and can bike from the challenging Mont Ventoux to the flat Camargue.
Walking from Saint Rémy to les Baux de Provence: You will enjoy an amazing view of the region all along. For photos lovers! Don't forget a visit at the Cathedrale de Lumieres, a unique light and sound show located in the former quarries.
The Golf courses: There are several beautiful golf courses in the area, such as in les Baux de Provence (18 holes: Domaine de Manville) or Mouriès (18 holes: Domaine de Servanes, our favourite, a magical place)
The easy access: the TGV Avignon train station as well as the nearby Marseille-Marignane airport allow you to come either from Paris, Lyon, Marseille or anywhere else in Europe in a very short time.

Many more activities in the area! We have a book full of ideas at your disposal in the house.
