Maison Azur is a stylish village house with a swimming pool and garden, just a short stroll away from the bakery, local restaurants and weekly market. Located between Avignon and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, it is a fantastic base for exploring this wonderful part of Provence.
This warm and welcoming home is both elegant and comfortable with a gorgeous TV lounge alongside a contemporary yet characterful kitchen-diner with modern features and rustic flair. Floor to ceiling doors open out to the pretty garden and swimming pool whilst there are sun loungers on the lawn and lovely spots for coffee or apéritifs outdoors.
Next to the kitchen and also accessed from the garden, a relaxation space with exposed stone walls and wood beamed ceiling is the ideal place for families or friends to gather for drinks by the bar and convivial meals as well as ping-pong and table football. Doors yet again lead outdoors allowing you to enjoy long summer days chez vous.
Sleeping up to 6 guests, there are three bedrooms upstairs. The first double features a king-size bed and a romantic bath tub in the room alongside a bathroom with Italian shower. The other two doubles also have their own en suite shower room whilst air-conditioning is found throughout.
It’s lovely to be able to wander to the local Provençal village for pastries, fresh baguettes and the Friday morning market. It’s an attractive and sometimes vibrant village with summer festivities taking place.
To the north is the historic city of Avignon, only 15km by car, then the vineyards of the Rhône valley beyond. To the south is the artistic town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence where Van Gogh once lived, famed for its charming bistros, art galleries and Wednesday morning market, also the gateway to Les Alpilles.
As you explore the beautiful landscapes of Les Alpilles, come across idyllic villages such as Eygalières, Maussane-les-Alpilles and Les Baux-de-Provence, partake in a wealth of outdoor adventures and enjoy delicious meals in wonderful restaurants, from tiny bistros to Michelin starred establishments.
Travel a little further afield to admire the scenery of the Luberon or the Camargue and potter around the antique stores of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue – there are so many captivating corners of Provence to discover.

Location
About the surrounding area of Maison AzurThis stylish home is in an attractive village in the Bouches-du-Rhône department around a 10-minute drive north of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. If arriving by train, Avignon’s TGV station is 15km away whilst Avignon Airport (16km), Nîmes Airport (44km) or Marseille Provence Airport (69km) are the best options when flying.
From Maison Azur just walk along the road and within 200m you will be in the heart of the village which hosts several vibrant festivities during the summer months. The weekly market takes place beneath the plane trees on the main square on a Friday morning. Restaurants, café-bars and shops are all within walking distance – the nearest épicerie, bakery and restaurant are merely a 3-minute stroll around the corner. Large supermarkets can be found in Châteaurenard (5.5km) or just outside Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (6km).
This is a superb base for exploring Provence with Avignon (15km) to the north and the beautiful landscapes of Les Alpilles to the south. Start off in the artistic town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, known for its Van Gogh associations, and appreciate the charming ambience of its bistros, café terraces and art galleries. The bustling Wednesday morning market showcases many wonderful products from Provence and beyond.
Les Alpilles is ideal for hiking, horse-riding, rock-climbing, winery visits and olive-oil tasting as well as picture-perfect villages such as Les Baux-de-Provence (14km) and Eygalières (17km). Enjoy lunch out in one of the delightful restaurants of Maussane-les-Alpilles or Paradou, both a 20-minute drive away, then discover the picturesque windmills of Fontvieille (21km).
Other fantastic day trips include the perched villages and undulating landscapes of the Luberon (Gordes, for example, is 40km away), the antique stores and waterways of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (28km), the beautifully preserved Roman sites of Nîmes (50km) and the Roman aqueduct at Pont du Gard (37km). Not to mention the exquisite wineries of the Rhône valley - Châteauneuf-du-Pape is just over half an hour away by car.

Region
The Provençal way of life is one that’s deeply tempting for anyone who’s been feeling the need to get away from it all. This is a place where the Mediterranean weather turns fields of corn and lavender into picture-perfect backdrops, where you can sip your locally bought wine and enjoy the landscapes before heading out and tackling them head-on with a range of great activities for families, groups of friends and adventurous foodies. Better yet, our range of villas in Provence and chateaux and holiday homes in the Côte d’Azur make the perfect base to explore this enchanting region!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThis is a great house for families who can enjoy the spacious games room with table football, billiard table and ping-pong alongside the garden and swimming pool. It’s lovely to be able to stroll to the heart of the village to soak up its Provençal atmosphere.
Meanwhile, there are plenty of family attractions close by. Find canoeing and kayaking along the Sorgue River near Fontaine-de-Vaucluse (34km) or beneath the magnificent Pont du Gard (37km) as well as a tree-top activity centre, Passerelles des Cîmes, just over half an hour away.
Parc Spirou Provence, just north of Avignon, is a popular day out in the summer, as is the waterpark next door, Wave Island, perhaps combined with a visit to the fascinating caves at Grottes de Thouzon.
Les Alpilles offers a wealth of adventures such as family walks, hiking, cycling, mountain biking, rock-climbing and pony-trekking – the list seems endless. The Vélorail des Alpilles, open on certain days in the summer, is another fun way to explore the beautiful landscapes of Provence.
