Overview
Admire quintessential vistas of Provence as you relax by your private swimming pool, looking out towards olive trees, cypresses and the Alpilles beyond. Followed perhaps by a coffee beneath the ancient plane tree or an aperitif surrounded by the summer scent of lavender.
This beautiful farmhouse for up to 12 guests is only a stone’s throw away from Saint-Rémy-de-Provence yet within it’s 6000m2 of glorious grounds it feels like a rural paradise. Inside its spacious interiors, we love the open-plan flow of the large lounge and dining room as well as the striking fireplaces, wood beamed ceiling and other traditional features. The kitchen is a joy, a characterful blend of old and new and you can open the blue shuttered French windows for breakfast on the terrace gazing out at the gorgeous garden.
All seven bedrooms are air-conditioned with their own bath or shower room and they each have their own pretty style, some with especially lovely touches such as gorgeous flooring, exquisite tiles and original wooden doors.
As well as the picture-perfect swimming pool with stunning views and wonderful gardens dotted with olive and pine trees, the summer house dining area is ideal for warm evenings by the barbecue. That said, you may prefer to wander into Saint-Rémy itself, around a 2km walk away (or a short drive) where you will find a range of restaurants from charming bistros to high-end establishments.
Soak up the artistic ambience of Saint-Rémy, a Provençal town that has inspired artists for so many years, including famous Van Gogh. Visit its weekly market on a Wednesday morning which attracts visitors from across the region, pop into artisan studios and galleries or just stroll around the cobbled lanes of this incredibly picturesque town.
Other gems of the Parc Naturel Régional des Alpilles include one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’, Les Baux-de-Provence, and the attractive village of Maussane-les-Alpilles with its wonderful restaurants and surrounding groves. Of course, there are so many walking trails passing farmland, woodland and hills as well as cycling, golf, rock-climbing and horse-riding through the undulating landscapes.
Sample some of the wines of Saint-Rémy at nearby wineries or venture slightly further afield to the Rhône valley or the vineyards of the Luberon, also home to a number of idyllic perched villages such as Gordes, Ménerbes and Bonnieux, all reached within an hour by car. Avignon, Arles and even Aix-en-Provence are other fine days out where you can truly experience the history and charm of Provence.

Location
About the surrounding area of Mas Des ChevaliersIn the Parc Naturel Régional des Alpilles, just 2km south-east of Saint-Rémy, Mas Des Chevaliers is brilliantly located for exploring this captivating part of Provence.
Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is just a 5-minute drive away or you could walk down country roads and reach the heart of the town in around 25 minutes on foot. It’s a pretty town with such artistic heritage – look out for art galleries, studios, summer art markets and follow the Van Gogh trail ending at Saint-Paul de Mausole where so many great works of art were created.
Enjoy the Wednesday morning market where stalls from across the region sell all sorts of artisan products and seasonal delights from across Provence. The town is also home to a superb range of restaurants as well as inviting shops, bakeries and wineries. Furthermore, visit some of the vineyards close to Saint-Rémy or head to the Luberon or Rhône valley.
Other wonderful places to visit include Les Baux-de-Provence (11km), one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’ and charming Maussane-les-Alpilles (10km), known for its olive oil production. Orgon and Eygalières are two further gems whilst the town of Arles (27km), the gateway to the Camargue, is also worthy of a visit. The scenery across this region is breathtaking with orchards, olive groves, woodland and hills, ideal for both walking and cycling.
If visiting the Luberon part of Provence, you’ll no doubt come across idyllic perched villages such as Gordes, Bonnieux and Ménerbes, all reached within a 50-minute drive, or venture east to Lourmarin (50km), following in the footsteps of Albert Camus.
Aix-en-Provence (72km) is yet another fine day out, surrounded by the landscapes that inspired Paul Cézanne so much, whilst closer to home is the historic city of Avignon (22km) on the banks of the Rhône and home to two UNESCO World Heritage sites, the Palais des Papes and Pont d’Avignon.

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 AgesIf travelling with children you will find a wealth of lovely walks, horse-riding, pony-trekking, cycling and even rock-climbing across the Parc Naturel Régional des Alpilles.
Outdoor lovers should also head to Fontaine-de-Vaucluse for canoeing and kayaking opportunities along the Sorgue river as well as a tree-top adventure centre.
Both Saint-Rémy and Arles are ideal for young art enthusiasts with their galleries, studios and Van Gogh trails whilst the archaeological site of Glanum is only 2km away from your villa.
A short drive away, Les Baux-de-Provence will also appeal to families with its impressive château – be sure to pick up a map from the tourist office and take part in the child-friendly treasure trail as you explore this idyllic hilltop village. Close by, look out for the light and sound shows taking place at Carrières de Lumières where famous works of art are projected on to quarry walls.
Meanwhile, animal lovers can visit over 450 types of animals at L'Arche de Méo, around 12km away, or the much-loved Zoo La Barben is under an hour by car near Salon-de-Provence.
