Overview
This gorgeous stone villa with a heated swimming pool is set a short distance from one of Les Alpilles’ most enchanting hilltop villages, Eygalières.
There is a relaxed ambience throughout Maison Audrey, a spacious home styled with fine furnishings and artwork. Peep through the traditional little windows towards the countryside or village across the three attractive double bedrooms, each with a private shower room, whilst a children’s quad bedroom with bunk-beds and a family bathroom allows Maison Audrey to sleep up to 10 guests (6 adults and 4 children). There is air-conditioning in all four upstairs bedrooms and underfloor cooling on the ground floor.
Across the delightful grounds there is a covered terrace for al-fresco meals overlooking the trailing roses, lawn and olive trees. A little gate leads through to the heated swimming pool and its poolside terrace. The garden is such a joyful place to spend quality time with loved ones with a great sense of space alongside the colours and scents of Provence.
Stroll along the country road (no pavement) into Eygalières – it’s around 800m to the characterful Café de la Place where you can soak up the village ambience with a coffee or apéritif watching the world pass by. Eygalières is a picture-perfect village with lovely shops, gastronomic restaurants and beautiful old houses – wander up to the top of the village for wonderful views of the surrounding landscapes. In recent years A-list celebrities have bought houses here to escape the French Riviera paparazzi.
Passing olive trees and farmland, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is a 14km drive away, famed for its Van Gogh heritage, art galleries and vibrant Wednesday morning market. Other idyllic villages of Les Alpilles include Les Baux-de-Provence and Maussane-les-Alpilles – sample some of France’s best extra virgin olive oil in restaurants or farms. There are fantastic opportunities for walking, hiking, rock-climbing and cycling through the scenery of Les Alpilles Regional Natural Park.
A little further afield, the historic cities of Avignon and Nîmes are excellent days out, or venture east towards the undulating landscapes of the Luberon – iconic perched villages such as Gordes, Ménerbes and Oppède le Vieux are less than a 40-minute drive away.

This is a place where the Mediterranean weather turns fields of corn and lavender into picture-perfect backdrops, where you can sip your locally bought wine and enjoy the landscapes before heading out and tackling them head-on with a range of great activities for families, groups of friends and adventurous foodies. Better yet, our range of villas in Provence and chateaux and holiday homes in the Côte d’Azur make the perfect base to explore this enchanting region!
