Overview

Pool Villa/House Modern Ideal for Kids All Bedrooms En-Suite

This contemporary air-conditioned holiday home comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests and is located just outside one of the most picturesque villages in Provence. There is everything you need here for a relaxing holiday in attractive surroundings, making it the ideal base from which to explore this gorgeous part of southern France.

Maison Chambord has some traditional features, such as stone floors and wooden beams, which mingle beautifully with its minimalist and sleek modernity. The lounge has cathedral style ceilings and spectacularly tall windows opening out to the pretty garden and there is a large table in the dining room, just right for a peaceful breakfast or a convivial feast at the end of the day.

The well equipped kitchen has everything you need to produce delicious dishes with some of the excellent local produce available in the local shops and markets or you may prefer to treat yourselves to a meal or two from the available in house catering service.

Sip a glass of wine beneath the sheltered terrace, play a game of pétanque or swim in the heated pool which has steps and small beach area next to the lawns. After your dip, take a shower in the pool house and bask behind its huge windows as you look across the garden.

Stroll into the village (via country lanes) which is so full of authentic charm that a small handful of A-list celebrities have bought houses here away from the glitz of the French Riviera. There is a church, bakery, butchers, a handful of restaurants and bars as well as an atmospheric weekly Provençal market. The fragrance of Mediterranean herbs and the background noise of cicadas are a frequent accompaniment to leisurely local walks and bike rides.

Les Alpilles Natural Park is a wonderful area of vineyards, idyllic villages, world-renowned towns and summer swathes of sunflowers. Nearby St-Rémy-de-Provence is popular with artists and the town is also renowned for its many eating places from bistros to Michelin starred restaurants. Les Baux-de-Provence, one of France’s acclaimed ‘Plus Beaux Villages’, and Van Gogh’s beloved Arles are also both within easy reach.

There are ample family-friendly activities such as tennis, golf, hiking, horse riding, mountain biking and rock climbing. Don’t forget to visit the stunning landscapes of the Camargue, a beautiful melange of land and lagoon with pink flamingos, black bulls, wild white horses, rice fields and beaches where there are plenty more opportunities for adventure.

Maison Chambord is set amongst other villas on the edge of a charming village in Les Alpilles Natural Park in the fabulous Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur region of southern France, a 20-minute drive from St-Rémy-de-Provence.

The nearby village (1km) is so full of quiet, authentic charm that it has been discovered by a small handful of A-list celebrities who have bought houses here away from the glitz of the French Riviera. There is a church, bakery, butchers, a handful of restaurants, bars and an atmospheric weekly Provençal market. The main street winds up to the old village from which there are some spectacular views over Les Alpilles.

There are many walks and bike rides through the nearby olive groves and vineyards accompanied by the fragrance of Mediterranean herbs and the background noise of cicadas. Indeed, you are in the heart of an amazing area of vineyards, idyllic villages, world-renowned towns, and summer swathes of sunflowers both in Les Alpilles Natural Park and beyond. There are so many family friendly activities to be enjoyed including hiking and mountain biking along its many trails, horse riding, and rock climbing while the gentler pursuits of tennis and golf are easily accessible.

Nearby St-Rémy-de-Provence (14km) is popular with artists, many of whom live in the area and sell their art in the village’s galleries. The town is renowned for its many restaurants, from bistros to Michelin starred restaurants, and food lovers who want to cook at home shouldn’t miss the Wednesday morning market.

South of St-Rémy-de-Provence is Les Baux-de-Provence (22km), classified as one of France’s Plus Beaux Villages, perched high on a rocky plateau with pretty squares, narrow streets, little shops and a fortified-château. There are some good walking trails around the village or you may prefer to go straight to the surrounding vineyards and olive groves to sample some of the region’s excellent produce. Just south of Les Baux is Mausanne-les-Alpilles which produces some of the best olive oil in France using the energy of its two windmills.

Head northwards from Maison Chambord towards the lively city of Avignon (30km), explore its winding medieval streets and visit its two UNESCO world heritage sites, the Pope’s Palace and Pont Saint-Bénézet, the famous medieval bridge across the Rhône. The covered market offers all kinds of treasures and delights while the weekend farmers’, flower and flea markets are great for finding local produce and a bargain or two.

Another city worth visiting is Arles (40km), renowned for its incredible architecture and fascinating Roman remains. It was much loved by Vincent Van Gogh who managed to paint many works during his relatively short time in the city. There is a self-guided walking tour here following the artist’s footsteps with reproduction paintings on easels indicating the actual places painted.

A short drive southwards from Arles is the fabulous Camargue Regional Park, a beautiful melange of salt marshes, lagoons and sea with pink flamingos, black bulls, wild white horses, rice fields and endless wild countryside and beaches, covering 900 square kilometres of land. Endless activities can be enjoyed here from horse-riding, trekking, quad biking to exciting jeep tours across this unique area. Its capital, Sainte-Maries-de-la-Mer, is only 60km away from home and has some fine sandy beaches.

Region

The Provençal way of life is one that’s deeply tempting for anyone who’s been feeling the need to get away from it all. 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!

Kids

Best Suited For: All Ages
Ideal for Kids

Provence is a welcoming place for children who are sure to enjoy exploring the local markets or having lunch at a café in one of the idyllic hillside villages of Les Alpilles.

For lovers of outdoor adventure there is biking, hiking, pony clubs and rock climbing in the hills of Les Alpilles and horse-riding, trekking, quad biking and jeep tours in the Camargue.

The Van Gogh trail in Arles is fun to follow. In Avignon, take a boat trip on the River Rhône, visit the medieval bridge or tour the city on the little road train.

A tree-top activity centre is in Salon-de-Provence, around half an hour away whilst train enthusiasts might be happy to make the 50-minute journey northwards to Le Jarditrain near Carpentras, an open air park with model trains in miniature landscapes and an indoor games room.
