Provence Paradise

Every year I come back to Provence Paradise. This is the best week(s) of the year. How to describe? It is a lush beautifully landscaped property with Mas (old stone homes) that exude charm. While there are many cute towns around. I find I can spend the full day just walking into town along the canal, having lunch then returning to swim and relax. I have seen other places in the area, but nothing compares in terms of space, the attention to detail, the charm. Lastly, and in no way the least, William is a big part too! He makes you sure you feel taken care of, be it morning croissants or tips on where to go. If you can, book 2 weeks and I promise you wont regret it!

A lovely property on the outskirts of St Remy, which is a great base for exploring the surrounding area. We loved the charm of the apartment. We stayed in Le Moulin apartment and it was quite spacious. Nice outside space but it was too warm during our visit to spend much time there. Laundry conveniently located just off courtyard. It was quiet and private. The perfect place for us,

What an amazing spot - a small enclave of houses on the outskirts of St Remy and really it’s own idyllic world. Not luxurious but lovely and relaxed. The owners are brilliant hosts, attentive and knowledgeable. The location is a gateway to many beautiful places.

Provence Paradise feels like a second home to us after 10+ visits there. We have stayed in every unit at least once. The location in St. Remy de Provence puts it at the epicenter of adventures - Roman ruins, art history, the beautiful coastal towns like Cassis. I can't list them all, but you'll never be bored. Host William has become a friend. He's available for restaurant tips, sightseeing information, and pretty much anything a guest needs. We highly recommend a visit to Provence Paradise to experience the true French experience.

We recently spent an enchanting time at Provence Paradise, near St-Remy-de-Provence. We have previously stayed in most of the houses in Provence Paradise, and they are all very special, well-appointed places oozing with French country charm. During this trip we stayed at l’Orangerie. This colorful gem is like a cup of provençal sunshine with its large gorgeous wall of windows. We loved the working stone fireplace, the cheerful French kitchen, and the wonderful private patio which is just a few crunchy pea gravel steps away from the pool. We were refreshed by the endless scents and colors of the gardens at Provence Paradise, long walks along the ancient canal, and breathtaking sunset views of Van Gogh’s Alpilles from the top of the hill. Indeed, there is so much peace and charm in this place, it’s hard to leave! But the location of Provence Paradise is perfect, because there is so much to explore in every direction. We walked into the town of St-Remy-de-Provence for morning pastries and lunchtime baguettes, explored one of the the best markets in Provence, enjoyed food at outside cafes, and basked in the ambiance of this beautiful town. From Provence Paradise, it’s a very short drive to see hundreds of years of ancient history first hand at the archeological site of Glanum, climb over the ruined castles of the Lords of Les Baux, taste the best wines, the best olive oils, the best hikes, and explore the most charming villages of Provence. And just a little further out in every direction are the hilltop villages of the Luberon, the magnificent Roman aqueduct at Pont du Gard, pink flamingoes, white horses, and vast beaches of the Camargue, and the Calanques of the Marseilles coast, just to name a few. William is the most welcoming host who loves his guests and has spent years living in and exploring Provence. He entertained us with wonderful chats of all the latest local and national news, as well as the best first hand advice about what to see and do (and how to see and do it). William knows the area and the country intimately, and his resourceful knowledge were essential for planning each special day here, while his delightful friendship made it all such a deeply enjoyable time. Having lived a bit in the south of France, we strategically choose this area to stay when we visit. But William’s hospitality at this unique, charming property is a rare and special combination to experience the heart of true Provence.
