Nestled in the foothills of the Alpilles, and surrounded by vineyards and olive orchards, Bastide de la Douceur creates an absolute dream Provence experience.
The home is set on one acre of beautifully landscaped grounds, which is fully enclosed by tall cypress trees to offer upmost privacy. Whether lounging by the pool area, dining al fresco under the gorgeous covered terraces, or wandering through any number of nearby villages, guests here are able to enjoy the best spoils of Provence. The house itself has been tastefully restored and reflects a cozy family atmosphere with every comfort for a relaxing holiday. The main living areas boast cozy couches, library shelves lined with books and games, alongside an adjoining office with a vaulted ceiling.
Most guests find that they spend much of their time outdoors here as well, with trellis-covered terraces, an outdoor kitchen, long lawn, and large pool area; there is plenty to enjoy.
This property is also quite conveniently located, only 5 kms away from the famous village of Saint Rémy de Provence, with its many cafes, restaurants, markets and quaint boutiques. Van Gogh created many of his masterpieces in and around this village.
Situated in the heart of the Alpilles, Saint Rémy is one of the "must-sees" in Provence. Surrounded by lush green perfumed valleys, its ancient streets are lined with beautifully restored old houses... you will soon be seduced by Saint Rémy's charm!
The easiest way to get to Inland Provence from the US is to fly to Marseille International Airport (MRS). If you would like to see Paris, fly to Charles de Gaulle Airport then connect directly to the TGV (high speed train) from CDG TGV2 to Avignon TGV (3 hours direct) and rent a car. You would plan to see Paris on the way back, taking the TGV from Avignon TGV to Paris Gare de Lyon, getting a cab to your hotel in the city.
