On the edge of Saint-Rémy, this high-end abode is stylish and contemporary whilst also exuding a charming Provençal ambience. The heated swimming pool and terraces are idyllic spots to while away your time whilst you are in a fine location for exploring Les Alpilles and beyond.

Bastide Diane (and neighbouring Bastide Paul) have been created by one of our experienced owners to add to their portfolio of beautiful houses in Provence. Designed with refined travellers in mind, guests can expect elegant interiors, comfort and great attention to detail across every room.

Hosting up to 6 guests, walk up the steps to the entrance and admire the open-plan living space with a fully-equipped kitchen and dining area. One set of French doors leads to a covered terrace for breakfast or shady lunches by the lavender whilst another opens to an outdoor lounge overlooking the century-old trees and pool below.

There are three prettily decorated bedrooms with king-size doubles (all of which can be split into twins) with en suite bathrooms featuring bathrobes and Fragonard bath products. Guests also benefit from air-conditioning throughout the house.

Following the stairs down to the garden level, the heated swimming pool is surrounded by a small lawn, olive trees and an attractive terrace leading to the pool house with its summer kitchen and Green Egg barbecue, another spot for al-fresco feasts with family or friends. The garden features herbs and roses alongside other colours and scents of Provence.  

The heart of historic Saint-Rémy is around 2km away with its pavement cafes, bistros, art galleries and studios – it’s a joy to potter around the bustling town’s cobbled lanes. Don’t miss the Wednesday morning market which attracts visitors from across the region – bring home local delicacies such as honey, cheese, olive oil, wine, charcuterie and all sorts of seasonal fruit and vegetables. Even closer to home, pre-book a table in one of the two restaurants (one gastronomic, the other a more laid-back garden restaurant) only 250m away, both led by a Michelin-starred chef. 

Further afield, visit some of Les Alpilles’ picture-postcard villages including Eygalières, Maussane-les-Alpilles and Les Baux-de-Provence and make the most of the beautiful landscapes as you walk, hike, cycle or horse ride through olive groves, woodland, limestone peaks and idyllic valleys.

If you can find the time, discover the art of Arles, the Roman remains of Nîmes, the antiques of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, and the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Avignon. It’s also worth venturing to the Luberon, another captivating part of Provence so loved for its perched villages, vineyards, orchards and yet more incredible scenery. 

• Bastide Diane and Bastide Paul are next to each other and are similar in terms of style. They each have their own private gates and entrances but can be connected via a gate on the upper terrace (if booked together).
• Guests need to be able to manage steps from the garden level (home to the swimming pool and garage) up to the main entrance.
• It is possible to walk to the heart of Saint-Remy (around 2km to the historic centre) or you may prefer the short drive. Please do note that car hire is essential to be able to fully explore this beautiful region.
