Maison Bijou

About this property

On the edge of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Maison Bijou offers a relaxed and simple holiday abode within a holiday residence just moments from the artistic heartbeat of the town. Set across a single storey, this mazet has been thoughtfully designed for easy, sociable living, with an airy open-plan layout, soft neutral tones and its own lovely terrace.

With space for up to 6 guests, Maison Bijou is fully air-conditioned and well suited to a family or a small group of friends wishing to be close to Saint-Rémy. A generous central living space features a modern kitchen and lounge area, while three bedrooms provide flexibility for different needs. The main double bedroom enjoys its own open-plan bathroom whilst two further bedrooms, including one with bunk-style doubles beds, share a stylish family bathroom.

Outside, the terrace is a lovely spot for a morning read, a glass of local rosé or meals beside the plancha. The little pool (2x3m) is just right for splashing around or cooling off your feet after a long day exploring. Guests can also enjoy seasonal access to the shared swimming pool and boules court within the holiday residence.

The location is one of the home’s greatest pleasures. Just 900 metres from the historic centre of Saint-Rémy, guests can walk or cycle into town for dinner beneath the stars, artisan shopping or simply to soak up the Provençal atmosphere. Saint-Rémy's cobbled lanes, Roman ruins and connections to Van Gogh are only the beginning; nearby villages like Les Baux-de-Provence, Eygalières and Maussane-les-Alpilles each offer their own blend of beauty, heritage and culinary flair.

Whether you're tracing hilltop trails through Les Alpilles or savouring afternoons at home, Maison Bijou welcomes you to experience a relaxing holiday in Provence.

With its cobbled streets and age-old charm, the bustling town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence offers an enchanting taste of Provençal life. Just 900m from the heart of the historic centre, guests can enjoy easy access to atmospheric restaurants, contemporary galleries and the wonderful Wednesday morning market. Encircled by ancient plane trees and elegant shuttered façades, Saint-Rémy hums with a rich tapestry of history and artistic legacy - none more so than Van Gogh, who created many of his famed works in this very setting. The town also serves as a scenic gateway to the captivating landscapes of Les Alpilles.

The jagged limestone ridges of Les Alpilles rise just beyond the town, offering a haven for outdoor pursuits including walking, cycling and leisurely drives. The hillsides are awash with olive groves, pine trees and vineyards, while well-marked trails reveal sweeping vistas, peaceful chapels and shaded forest paths. Whether exploring by foot or e-bike, the natural splendour of the region is simply irresistible.

Scattered across the surrounding hills are villages full of character. Les Baux-de-Provence (9km) impresses with its dramatic cliffside ruins and the immersive art experience of Carrières des Lumières (8.5km). The nearby village of Eygalières (13km) charms with its tranquil lanes, gourmet eateries and lively Friday market, while Maussane-les-Alpilles (9.5km) is beloved for its artisanal olive oils and welcoming bistros.

For those inclined to venture further, the Roman treasures and vibrant markets of Arles (25km) await, along with the wild beauty of the Camargue, home to flamingos, salt flats and free-roaming white horses. For a memorable day out, the majestic Roman aqueduct at Le Pont du Gard (40km) is well worth the trip, while the cultural richness of Avignon (22km) and the antique shops of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (33km) promise even more Provençal allure.
