Overview
Soak up Provençal life in this delightful 2-bedroom mazet with its own swimming pool, located in the heart of a picturesque village in Les Alpilles.
It’s wonderful to be able to potter out of your holiday home, pick up fresh bread and locally produced olive oil as well as delicious cheeses and charcuterie from the village deli or Thursday morning market, then wander back for al-fresco lunches by the swimming pool. Or perhaps you may choose to dine out on a café terrace in the village square by the fountain and plane trees.
Back to your holiday home, it is such a charming place to spend time with its open-plan lounge and elegant kitchen with arched doors opening out to the covered terrace and swimming pool with just enough room to relax on a deckchair or sun-lounger. Each of the two air-conditioned bedrooms upstairs features a double bed and a stylish bathroom with an Italian shower and sink.
There are some glorious walks in and around the village, including a hike through the olive groves to neighbouring Les Baux-de-Provence, one of France’s classified ‘Plus Beaux Villages’. Hiking, cycling, horse-riding and rock-climbing are all fantastic ways to appreciate the beautiful landscapes of the Parc Naturel Régional des Alpilles or you may prefer to simply drive to local villages and towns to experience this part of Provence – Eygalières and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence are not to be missed.
Further afield, visit the historic city of Avignon, venture to Ménerbes, Lourmarin and other idyllic villages of the Luberon or discover the artistic town of Arles, the gateway to the Camargue. You can sail down the Sorgue River by canoe or kayak from Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, seek our treasures at the Sunday morning brocante in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue or sample wines of the Rhône valley near Châteauneuf-du-Pape – bring back a bottle to enjoy by the swimming pool!

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa JasminVilla Jasmin is in the heart of a picturesque village in Les Alpilles, part of the Bouches du Rhône department of Provence, around 35km south of Avignon and 19km from Arles.
This bustling Provençal village is a joy to explore with its pretty square and fountain, various café terraces and restaurants as well as inviting shops showcasing some of the region’s best produce from charcuterie, cheese and wine to the village’s olive oil, some of the finest in France. There is a traditional market that takes place on a Thursday morning in the main square beneath the plane trees.
Enjoy long walks and hikes through the surrounding landscapes of olive groves, woodland and farms and make the most of the pony-trekking, horse-riding and cycling opportunities across the Parc Naturel Régional des Alpilles. Visit other idyllic villages of the region including Les Baux-de-Provence (4.5km) and Eygalières (17km) as well as artistic towns such as Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (10km) and Arles (19km) where you can follow Van Gogh’s footsteps.
Further afield, explore the captivating scenery of the Luberon with picture-perfect perched villages, vineyards and forests – Ménerbes, Lourmarin and Gordes can each be reached within an hour by car. The wild landscapes of the Camargue also await to the south, stretching as far as the Mediterranean coastline around Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer.
Discover the romance of Aix-en-Provence (64km), so loved by Paul Cézanne, or spend the day visiting the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Avignon (35km) by the banks of the Rhône River. L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (42km) is another gorgeous town with its famous Sunday morning brocante whilst the most adventurous of guests will adore hiking, canoeing or kayaking in and around Fontaine-de-Vaucluse (47km).

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 AgesFamilies can embrace village life with restaurants and cafes so near as well as charming little shops and a Thursday morning market to experience. There are also some lovely walks in and around the village for a variety of abilities as well as pony trekking, cycling and rock-climbing opportunities within a short drive.
When visiting nearby Les Baux-de-Provence, under 5km away, spend time admiring the château and its surrounding views then pick up a ‘treasure map’ from the tourist office to help you explore the pretty village. Just north of the village, Carrières de Lumières is a great spot for looking at famous works of art projected on to quarry walls.
You are also well placed for visiting the mesmerising landscapes of the Camargue, a wonderful region for horse-riding, jeep rides, bird-watching, boat trips and even the glorious beaches around Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, just under an hour away by car.
