Villa Douceur

About this property

Villa Douceur offers a superb holiday abode just a short stroll from the heart of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. From the moment you arrive, the villa’s thoughtful design invites you to settle into a slower rhythm with superb amenities including a games room, home-cinema and a gorgeous swimming pool in the garden.

Set across 250m² of stylish living space, the house is wonderfully appointed for families or groups of friends, with generous communal areas and quiet corners alike. Inside, light pours into the open-plan living room and sleek modern kitchen, where every detail has been curated for comfort and connection with doors opening to the main terrace overlooking the garden and pool below. Downstairs, a games room complete with billiards, darts and a library creates a sociable hub, complemented by a cosy home cinema for movie nights.

The villa sleeps up to 8 guests across four pretty bedrooms. Downstairs, there’s a lovely en suite bedroom with a king-size double bed alongside two double bedrooms sharing a family bathroom with a spa bath and Italian shower. Upstairs, a queen-size double bedroom features an open en suite and access to the gorgeous rooftop terrace with its outdoor lounge and distant views towards Les Alpilles.

Meanwhile, the spacious garden feels like your very own oasis warmed by the Provençal sun. The saltwater swimming pool invites afternoon dips or you may prefer to simply lounge beneath the pergola, play a leisurely game of pétanque or unwind on one of the sunbeds. Meanwhile, the raised terrace is perfect for al-fresco meals together and relaxing with good local wine.

Perfectly positioned in a residential setting, Villa Douceur places you within easy reach of Saint-Rémy’s lively centre, art galleries, high-end restaurants and celebrated markets await. Beyond the town, the landscapes of Les Alpilles offer endless possibilities for exploration, from vineyard visits and hiking trails to cultural day trips in Avignon, Arles and beyond.

Villa Douceur is ideal for guests seeking a Provençal escape that balances effortless style with warm, inviting charm.

In the heart of Provence, Villa Douceur offers a wonderful escape in a residential setting just moments from the vibrant soul of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. With the historic centre only 850 metres away, guests can easily stroll into town to discover cobbled lanes, gourmet restaurants, art galleries and the much-loved Wednesday morning market. Saint-Rémy is not only rich in Provençal charm but steeped in history, with Roman ruins and Van Gogh’s legacy echoing through its charming streets.

Nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts will find themselves drawn to the nearby landscapes of Les Alpilles, a regional park of craggy limestone hills, forests and olive groves perfect for walking/hiking, cycling or even horse riding. Explore nearby gems such as the picture-perfect village of Eygalières (12km), the dramatic hilltop fortress of Les Baux-de-Provence (10km) or the relaxed ambiance of Maussane-les-Alpilles (9.5km), each offering their own blend of Provencal tradition and beauty. Wine lovers can enjoy tastings at family-run domaines dotted throughout the region, especially around the foothills of the Alpilles and close to Saint-Rémy.

For cultural day trips, head to the papal city of Avignon (21.5km), famed for its monumental Palais des Papes and vibrant arts scene, or wander the Roman streets of Arles (25km), where the amphitheatre still hosts events today. Both towns offer a wealth of museums, galleries, markets and architectural splendours that make them must-visits in the region.

If you’re inclined to venture further, the aqueduct marvel of Pont du Gard (40km) is a striking feat of Roman engineering, perfect for a picnic and paddle along the river. Wine connoisseurs will relish an excursion to the Rhône Valley near Châteauneuf-du-Pape (40km), while those seeking a more active pursuit can canoe along the crystal-clear waters of the Sorgue River near L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (32km), a town equally beloved for its antique markets and waterside cafés.

With such a dazzling array of experiences on your doorstep, Villa Douceur promises a Provençal getaway that blends relaxation, culture and adventure in equal measure.
