Overview
2024 Resorts & Retreats Awards hosted by LUXlife - Villa Romane - Most Charming Luxury Villa 2024, Occitaine
(“LUXlife awards celebrate the tradition of acknowledging unparalleled achievements and exceptional creativity in the realm of luxury“)
Villa Romane is a spacious stone-built holiday villa in Provence with its own magnificent Roman-style colonnaded circular swimming pool. The house is superbly located, offering wonderful panoramic views of Provence and the Rhone valley. It's just 1.5km out of the historic medieval town of Beaucaire with its tree-lined colourful marina. There are countless restaurants, cafès, shops, supermarkets and boulangeries a short walk away through country lanes. Despite its close proximity to nearby amenities, the high walls surrounding the villa and its tranquil hilltiop location makes for a peaceful and secluded atmosphere, so you have the best of both worlds.
The main villa can sleep 12 guests in its 6 large double bedrooms, some of which can be converted into twin beds if preferred. It also boasts five bath/shower rooms, three large reception rooms and a fully-fitted kitchen. The separate dining area and the al-fresco dining terrace are both great places for entertaining and serving delicious home-cooked meals.
The 13 to 16-person rate also includes separate accommodation at 'La Petite Villa Romane' which can accommodate up to 4 extra guests in style and comfort (as featured in the photographs). It is a charming one-bedroom single-storey cottage tucked away in the corner of the gardens of the main villa. It is perfect for an older couple who may wish to have peace and quiet, separate from, but near to the main villa, or for a romantic couple who would like total privacy, or for a small family or perhaps even accompanying staff.
The 'Petite Villa' is charmingly furnished and decorated in an authentic Provencal style with beautiful tapestries adorning the walls. Both the living area with its sofa-bed and bedroom have glazed double-doors opening directly out on to the shaded sun-terrace and the secluded and totally private 'petite' garden.
The spectacular circular pool was built in the style of a Roman colonnaded arena and can be illuminated at night. The poolside terrace with its summer kitchen, barbecue, sun terrace and shaded summer lounge is a real feature of this fantastic French holiday villa, and coupled with the views from the terrace, can only be described as paradise!
There is plenty to explore in this charming area of Provence, with beautiful and historic towns such as Avignon, Nimes and Arles as well as the chic and fashionable St. Remy de Provence and Uzes, all within a short driving distance. Also not to be missed are visits to the Pont du Gard, the Luberon and the Camargue.

This is a historic home, and as such:
- It has probably been standing for over 100 years, which means it's full of historic value and charm but it may also have one or two quirks!
- Some of the decor and furnishings may not be brand new, but that should not detract from your holiday experience in this unique setting that allows you to take a step back in time!

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa RomaneThe villa enjoys a hilltop setting just 1.5km away from the historic medieval town of Beaucaire with its tree-lined colourful marina. There are restaurants, cafès, shops, supermarkets and boulangeries within walking distance via country lanes. Nimes, Arles, Avignon and St Remy de Provence are all within 26km and Montpellier is a mere 80km.
Horse riding is extremely popular in the Provencal countryside that surrounds the villa and there are several riding centres within easy driving distance. The river Rhone is just 1km from the villa and is a fantastic place to try fishing, canoeing and kayaking while there are also many mountain biking trails in the vicinity of the villa. The region is of course famous for its wine so why not take part in a wine tasting tour?
Take a relaxed stroll through the nearby villages and towns, where you can find regular antiques markets or brocantes. You might even stumble across a carnival, pageant, processions or one of the historical re-enactments that are held weekly in the summer in both Beaucaire and the surrounding area.
There are no less than 4 UNESCO World Heritage Sites all within a 30-minute drive - the possibilities are endless at the Villa Romane!

Region
Stay in and around the region of Avignon to discover picturesque villages, historic towns, Côtes du Rhône vineyards and beautiful landscapes of summer sunflowers, olive groves and rural countryside. This is a fantastic base for exploring much of Provence and beyond.
With its historic, gastronomic and cultural riches, the small city of Avignon stands proudly by the banks of the Rhône, home to vibrant markets, restaurants, wine-bars and impressive UNESCO World Heritage sites.
One of the most visited monuments of France, Le Palais des Papes is in the heart of the old city, next to the 12th century cathedral and leafy Jardin des Doms where you can admire gorgeous views of the river and Provençal countryside beyond. Soak up the rich history of Le Pont d’Avignon on a guided tour before heading over the river to capture photogenic shots of the city from île de la Barthelasse, France’s largest river island. Avignon’s little tourist road train is a great way to explore the historic city with young children.
Stock up on seasonal fruit, vegetables and regional delights at the beautiful covered market at Les Halles d’Avignon or wait for the main Saturday morning Provençal market near the 14th century Basilique Saint-Pierre. Embrace the city’s food scene across its many cafes and restaurants from the tourist haunts of Place de l’Horloge to hidden gems found on the charming side streets and shady squares of the old quarter. Avignon is also known for its Côtes du Rhône wineries and bars waiting to be discovered.
In July the 3-week long Festival d’Avignon takes over the city, a world-renowned event with contemporary performing arts, films and exhibitions taking place across theatres, cinemas and outdoor venues.
Beyond the city centre, hire bikes to cycle along part of the via Rhôna route or enjoy the landscapes of île de la Barthelasse passing farmland, orchards and vistas across the river towards Avignon’s city centre. Meanwhile, antique lovers won’t want to miss the Saturday morning brocante in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, one of Provence’s most famous flea markets, or venture further afield to the wonderful Sunday morning brocante in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue.
Embrace the Provençal ambience across villages of the Vaucluse – one of our favourites is charming Pernes-les-Fontaines, loved for its many fountains and delightful market every Saturday morning and Wednesday evening in July and August. Velleron is famed for its early evening farmers’ market open throughout the year (six evenings a week from April to September) whilst Saint-Didier and Venasque are two other picture-perfect Provençal villages to discover.
Driving south instead, visit the art galleries and Wednesday morning market of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, a bustling town on the edge of Les Alpilles where Vincent Van Gogh lived towards the end of his life. Enjoy lunch on a pavement terrace in the idyllic hilltop village of Eygalières (you may even spot a discreet A-list celebrity or two) or head south-west of Avignon to embrace the historic ambience of Tarascon and Beaucaire with their impressive castles overlooking the Rhône river.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThe spacious and quirky lay out of Villa Romane delights young guests time and time again. The pool is totally child-safe however there is a pond with as small foot-bridge over it where toddlers would need to be supervised.
There is a set of boules and an area for playing the much-loved traditional French game of boules/petanque. The grounds are perfect for children to explore and to burn off some energy. There are pool toys too, and once you’ve exhausted the outdoors, why not settle down for the night with a board game or two.

I long to return
I still long to return to your villa. It was a lovely week we spent there, and I just wish we had had more time there. We fell in love with the house, the garden and the pool area. We really liked the friendly people in Beaucaire and the rest of the region. It was all and more than I could have dreamed of when I started 2 years ago to plan the celebration of my 50th birthday. Everything was perfect and we all had a really nice vacation at your villa.
