Overview
Set between Saint-Rémy and Les Baux-de-Provence, Maison Jeanette is perfect for guests seeking a taste of authentic Provence. This characterful abode is located in glorious grounds with majestic pines, olive trees, summer roses and a heated swimming pool.
It feels like home as soon as you step inside, with the inviting living room, comfy TV lounge/library and sociable kitchen-diner where French windows open out to the terrace. There are six pretty bedrooms, five with queen-size double beds and one children’s twin. The two upper floor doubles feature air-conditioning and private bathrooms.
The main allure of this traditional mas is surely its beautiful and vast grounds with a heated swimming pool, stone barbecue and a gorgeous garden with herbs, roses, oleander, cacti, terracotta pots of summer colours alongside pine trees, cypresses, a small olive grove and glimpses of Les Alpilles hills – all the charms of Provence!
Sit back on warm summer evenings on the terrace enjoying al-fresco meals together before retiring to the berber tent’s outdoor lounge, perhaps with a bottle of local wine, to chat late into the evening.
If you prefer to dine out, book a table at the neighbouring hotel’s gastronomic restaurant a short stroll away or drive to the pavement café-bars and bistros of Saint-Rémy, a bustling Provençal town famed for its art heritage and wonderful Wednesday morning market.
In the other direction is one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’, perched Les Baux-de-Provence and its château, alongside lovely Maussane-les-Alpilles, the perfect spot for lunch on the village square – don’t miss the delicious extra virgin olive oil from the Baux valley.
Meanwhile, spend the day soaking up the history of Arles, Avignon or Nîmes and canoe or picnic by the magnificent Pont du Gard. If you can find the time, embrace the ambience of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue’s Sunday morning market, visit the vineyards of the Rhône valley and venture to the idyllic landscapes of the Luberon with gems such as Gordes and Ménerbes less than an hour away.

Location
About the surrounding area of Maison JeanetteMaison Jeanette is set amongst the beautiful landscapes of Les Alpilles, only a 10-minute drive south-west of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (5km) in the Bouches-du-Rhône department of southern France, 25km south of Avignon.
In typically Provençal surroundings, the house is located just off the country road that leads south to Les Baux-de-Provence (5.5km). Despite the rural setting, it is not too isolated with some neighbouring houses nearby as well as a boutique-style hotel just a few minutes’ walk away with a gastronomic restaurant (book ahead). Also discover wonderful hiking and cycling routes, a great way to admire the gorgeous scenery in this part of Provence.
The bustling and artistic town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is a joy to explore with its tree-lined streets populated by pavement cafés, authentic bistros, art galleries and shops. Follow the Van Gogh trail as you learn all about the famous Dutch artist’s time spent in Saint-Rémy, ending at the Centre Culturel Saint-Paul de Mausole. Head to the town early on a Wednesday morning to soak up the ambience of the wonderful Provençal market.
In the other direction is Les Baux-de-Provence (5.5km), classified as one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’ with its hilltop château overlooking the magnificent Baux valley and olive groves below. Maussane-les-Alpilles (8.5km) is another pretty place for lunch on the village square or a potter around the shops selling gastronomic delights. The tiny village of Paradou (9.5km) is home to Rick Stein’s beloved Le Bistrot du Paradou.
A little further afield, there are so many highlights of Provence and beyond within easy reach. Embrace the art and history of Arles (23km), the gateway to the Camargue, whilst Roman enthusiasts will also appreciate historic Nîmes (43km) and the beauty of Le Pont du Gard (35km) where you can picnic by the river or canoe beneath the mighty aqueduct.
There are further canoeing and kayaking opportunities along the Sorgue River near Fontaine-de-Vaucluse (42km) alongside the enchanting riverside cafes and antique stores of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (38km). The perched villages (Gordes, Ménerbes, Bonnieux), vineyards and incredible landscapes of the Luberon are less than an hour away or venture north towards the Rhône valley for further wine-tasting near Châteauneuf-du-Pape (40km).

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!
