Splendid Provencal Villa with Air-Conditoning, Heated Pool and Outside kitchen

Villa Indigo is located in the heart of the Alpilles hills of Southern France.
It has 4 air-conditioned bedrooms, sleeping 12-13 people.
The villa has been designed in the style of a traditional Provencal bastide, anhe style of a traditional Provencal bastide, and is part of a private estate with an other house, close to the old centre of Saint Remy de Provence.



The villa is set privately in its own garden within the estate, which is surrounded by old olive groves, hedges and scented trees and plants.
It has four bedroom, one on the ground floor,three upstairs, each with private shower rooms, and lovely views of the hills from the upstairs rooms. The two double + single bed, and the two twin-rooms, have been individually decorated in a Provencal style and the whole house is air-conditioned.

The living room is comfortably furnished, and has a fireplace, a large satellite television screen, DVD and stereo.The kitchen is typically Provencal and well equipped, with a large fridge/freezer, stove, microwave, and dishwasher, and opens onto a covered terrace, where there is a barbecue, and table and chairs. There is also laundry room with a washing machine and a dryer.

There is a private heated swimming pool in a lovely, shady setting, which has a security alarm, sunbeds, and garden furniture scattered under the trees. Outside lights softly illuminate the whole property in the evenings, and there is a garage.

Saint Rémy has a golf course, as well as, tennis courts and riding stables. You can also go fishing or gliding, and there are endless places to walk or cycle through the hills and discover for yourself, unspoiled, tucked away areas.

Glanum, just outside Saint Rémy is one of the most important Roman archeological sites in Provence. Founded 300 BC, it reveals a civilization that influences life here even today.

You can see thermal baths, an avenue of houses, the temple and the natural spring, and the remains of a Gallo-Roman town dating 30-10 BC. On the road leaving Glanum are the ancient Arc de Triomphe and Les Antiquities, the gateway to Glanum, standing as they have since that time. Close by is St Paul de Mausole, where Van Gogh spent his last days.

From there it is only a short drive through the hills to Les Beaux, an ancient village perched high on the rocks, once one of the most celebrated and brilliant of the troubadour courts of love in the Middle Ages, now romantically ghostly.

The villa is also at the centre of the Baux de Provence and Côteaux d'Aix vineyards and not far from Château Neuf du Pape.

It is important to note that Airports Marseille Internationa is only eighty kilometres, Avignon is twenty kilometres, car rental is available. Road Paris/Saint Rémyisis six hours, Rail Avignon (TGV Paris/Avigno) is two hours and forty-five minutes and twenty kilometres, rental car is available.

For a French vacation you will not soon forget, our villa is a place you have dreamed about, and you will not be disappointed!

A good villa in a charming town
Good things: 1. Great location, within walking distance of the town 2. Well proportioned living area and bedrooms, generally speaking well equipped 3. Large garden and heated swimming pool 4. Well equipped inside and outside kitchen Not so good: 1. Communication with the owner is very difficult, we don't speak French, the person meeting us speaks NO English at all which makes communication impossible. 2. We could not get the dishwasher to work, poor instruction on how it needs a big push to make it work. 3. The toilet flush in one of the bedrooms did not work properly, and one of the shower heads fell and broke, instead of the owner fixing it, the owner's first reaction was 'you need to fix it or replace it, otherwise you need to pay for it!', what an attitude! My family are very well behaved people, we also all have beautiful homes, we don't go around breaking toilet flushes and showers, the owner's attitude towards services is appalling. 4. The agent kept sending me emails all in French when i told her that i do not read or speak French. The company needs to be more considerate to international guests, communication should be in both English and French. In summary, a great villa but very poor services. And if anything does not work, you can be accused of breaking it and therefore charged for it. Not acceptable.

Perfect home away from home.
The house and gardens are wonderful. Although the house is a newer build, it has the feel of a villa in the country. It’s perfectly located close to the center and while you can walk along the street, the narrowness of the road is sometimes tricky. There is a lovely small canal in and around the city that you can walk along into city center. The kitchen was very well equipped. The big bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms were an extra bonus.

We absolutely loved Villa Indigo, the space, the beautiful garden, the pool and table tennis. The villa is so well equipped with everything we needed. We also really enjoyed the location close enough to walk into St Rémy which we did a lot. Celine and Michele couldn't have been more helpful. A very special holiday!

Lovely spacious property and gardens
We have stayed in Saint-Rémy many times, and this was one of my favourite properties! The location is quiet but very convenient, and the facilities (pool, garden, outside kitchen, boulodrome) are all excellent. As grandparents travelling with a young family, we love having a ground floor room with en-suite, and the children loved having their own bathrooms upstairs. Both Celine and Michelle were very helpful, especially with the arrangements for the smallest member of the party (7 months). We found the property to be very well and thoughtfully equipped, and the full house air conditioning was fantastic in the hottest week of the year. Hope to see you again soon!

Good location 15-20 mins from village, great property, kids enjoyed the pool, well equipped, took some finding the first day but easy after that. St Remy is a brilliant town if you like wandering nice streets, local shopping, galleries and eating. Good base for exploring Provence, Avignon, Arles, Aix, Le Baux, etc all relatively easy to reach. We were two families but would suit families with multi generations and kids of any age. The very large garden is a perfect sports pitch.

We were exceptionally happy with the Villa Indigo from when we received the lovely welcome basket to when we left. Our grown children loved the pool, house, and walking into town. It was a very memorable vacation in St. Remy and we enjoyed the location to many cities in Provence. Merci Celine and Michelle:)

Not perfect but at the same time very pretty
The kitchen was quite old. Door handles would fall off. There was a mishmash of dishes beneath the sink. It was disorganized. I do not like to see left over spices and vinegars from other guests.The dryer and washing machine did not work. Michele did not speak any English The upstairs was lovely as was the outside play area for my grandson.

Superb house
I have wracked my brain but I can’t think of any negatives for this house. It is spotlessly clean, very tastefully furnished and has little touches like tissues in each bedroom and an apron in the kitchen, that are very thoughtful. The outside kitchen is very functional with lovely outdoor crockery. And the garden is superb and so meticulously tended Unlike others we found Michelle, who greets you or, in our case comes and finds you lost in the back streets of St. Remy, delightful. Yes, she will only speak to you in French but she tolerated my abuse of the language with good humour. Her son, who tends the pool and speaks perfect English, is also delightful. St. Remy itself is becoming too popular for its own good and parking is a nightmare but it is full of good restaurants and still a good central point for exploring the area. If we have the chance we wouldn’t hesitate returning to this house.

Amazing property in a great location! Walk to St-Rémy-de-Provence
Great family or group property in a very convenient location. Wonderful grounds within 15-20 minute walk of St-Rémy-de-Provence. Celine, the owner, is very helpful and communicative when booking and prior to arrival. However, the property manager, Michelle Maya, could only communicate in French and needs to learn Conrad Hilton's Philosophy - 'Fill the Earth With the Light and Warmth of Hospitality'. She treated us as if she were doing us a favor by allowing us to stay at the property; attempted to change the agreement on VRBO and had expectations that were never communicated about garbage disposal. When leaving for the aiport at our designated departure time, she arrived as we were in the car. Then berated us in French for not meeting her unexplained expectations and attempted to delay our departure to comply with her demands. We had an absolutely wonderul stay at Celine's property but highly recommend that Celine consider changing property managers to one that has learned the art of hospitality and customer service.

Fantastic for my large group!
My group of 10 ladies loved staying in this property! Thelocation was fantastic - walkable into the charming town of St. Remy de Provence and to the asylum where Vincent Van Gogh received "treatment". A great "home base" for exploring this whole area! The house offered everything we could have asked for and we loved the tucked away, private setting. I would have given it 5 stars all around except for a few small issues. Communication with Celine was EXCEPTIONAL but we did run into some difficulties with the check-in agent as she spoke VERY little English and had no way to text with us when we needed assistance arriving. Equal parts lack of command of the language(s) involved, an inability to decipher the information she provided, which did turn out to be correct, an unfortunate placement of a critical street sign and fatigue from day long travel delayed and affected our initial arrival. Gratefully, the greeter extended her allotted timeframe to welcome and orient us but communication did prove somewhat challenging during that process, as well. Our understanding of the heating/ac system proved to be the biggest issue but we finally succeeded. In terms of only 4 stars in the "cleanliness" category, I would suggest that, perhaps, a more critical eye be applied to the state of the downstairs master bedspread/bedding and bathroom. I know this is picky but the "grouting"/silicone at the base of the shower and the wc (whose issue could be due to the water content in this area) could benefit from attention and I would suggest fresh laundering of the "external" linens as a criteria of preparation upon the check-in of each new group. These issues do not negate the fact that this house is a wonderful choice for a variety of traveling groups due to its spaciousness and layout featuring four large and accommodating bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, which is what "sold it" for me. I would definitely rent this property again and hope I have the opportunity to do so! One last thought: I can understand the reasoning, but the prohibition against use of the fireplace was disappointing. Perhaps some protective guidelines might allow usage of this key feature? Thank you for your consideration of my comments.

Great location and amenities; minor issues.
Fantastic location with great space to spend a week in the great Southern France weather. Upon arrival however there were only a handful of towels supplied with none for the swimming pool. Both gas canisters for the outdoor kitchen were empty and the pool cleaner remained connected for the duration of the stay, getting in the way of swimming and being an inconvenience with a toddler in the pool. The walk-through gate wasn’t functional therefore the remote gate key was required at all times. Other than these minor issues the rooms were spacious and the gardens well kept. The table tennis table was a great extra along with the boules area. Overall a great villa, which I would return to in the future; however better preparation prior to arrival of quests is recommended as well as a less strict level of requirements of cleaning within the itinerary required.

Lovely, lovely property !
We were eight women who spent a week in Villa indigo. We loved the property and it was exactly as depicted online. Check in was OK with limited French and Limited English, but we got through it. Loved having such a nice kitchen and laundry facilities available as well. Thankfully, the weather was nice and we were able to use the wonderful pool too. Some of our favorite moments were spent walking into town along the canal into the lovely town of Saint Remy. I would highly recommend this property and I hope others will enjoy it as much as we did. It’s definitely on my return list !

Lovely Villa in a Perfect Location!
We had a perfect stay in the lovely Villa Indigo. The villa had everything a family needs to be comfortable. It is clean and roomy, with lots of bedrooms and private bathrooms. The location is superb: a short walk to the center of St. Rémy, and short drives to the most beautiful villages in Provence. The yard is beautiful and large and secluded, with a wonderful pool and outdoor cooking area. (We'll be sure to visit in the summer next time so we can take advantage of those amenities.) We'd highly recommend this villa. It was perfect for our family of five.

Convenient location, well stocked house, beautiful garden
Our group of 7 adults stayed at the villa in April for 8 nights and we were very impressed with how comfortable and well stocked the house was. The bedroom/bath situation was ideal with each bedroom having a bath of its own, nicely appointed kitchen, lovely outdoor furniture. The garden is worth a visit in itself. The location was great, we could walk to the center of St. Remy and take short day trips to many other Provence attractions. I would definitely return

We are always so happy to return to Villa Indigo!
This beautiful home has everything you could want: air conditioning, an indoor and an outdoor kitchen, heated pool, 4 bedrooms (each with bath). It is only a 15 minute walk from the center of St.-Remy de Provence, a lovely town with charming restaurants and small shops. It is also a short car ride from Les Baux, where we enjoy the Carrieres de Lumiere light show every year and then treat ourselves to lunch at L'Oustau de Baumaniere. The owners have chosen a lovely woman to be the point person for the entire stay, and she is responsive to any request or issue. What's not to like?

Lovely house - Close to Perfection
We stayed at Villa Indigo in July 2016. Celine, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with in getting the initial arrangements set up. When we arrived, Michelle, the local owner representative, was also very easy and pleasant to deal with, despite her very limited English. The house is fully stocked and the bedroom/bathrooms are private and abundant. The grounds, pool and outside kitchen were marvelous. My only two comments would be to provide more towels (some were too old) and the pool could have been warmer. We used the cover and it heated right up due to the sun. During the week, the gardener, pool man and cleaning ladies visited. Great location near to St. Remy. I highly recommend Villa Indigo.

ATTENTION ! location non accessible en fauteuil roulant : annonce mensongère
L'annonce disait "idéal personne en fauteuil roulant". Mais c'est totalement faux : marches très hautes côté chemin pour l'entrée, seuils infranchissables côté jardin, portes intérieures trop étroites, WC bas et sans barre d'appui pour se relever, douche dans un bac, petite, sans siège ni barre d'appui, des marches un peu partout à l'extérieur... Heureusement pour moi, j'étais avec plusieurs adultes qui ont dû me porter et me transférer entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur et m'aider pour tout !!! Une personne en fauteuil roulant n'est pas un objet qui a juste besoin d'un logement de plein pieds. Il y a des normes qui doivent être respectées pour que nous puissions circuler. La maison est belle mais ça ne fait pas tout et on ne doit pas jouer comme ça avec les indications d'accessibilité. Si mes enfants avaient été plus jeunes, nous n'aurions pas pu rester.
