Villa Domitia

On the edge of a small Provençal village between Saint-Rémy and Tarascon, this impressive holiday home is set in vast gardens surrounded by pine trees.

The features at this 4-bedroom abode are fantastic. Make the most of the glorious swimming pool outside on warm summer days, enjoy the trampoline, table tennis and pétanque court or simply find a pretty terrace for your morning coffee or evening apéritif. The cinema room is a welcome escape from the sun.

Set over various levels, walk up the steps to the spacious open-plan living and dining area with its contemporary kitchen and doors opening out to the upper terrace for al-fresco dining with family and friends. Interiors are modern and stylish with touches of charm.

Villa Domitia sleeps up to 8 guests across its four double bedrooms, three on the upper floor alongside two bathrooms (one en suite) and the fourth bedroom on the garden level with a king-size bed and stunning open-plan bathroom. There is a final shower room on the main floor.

It’s around a 15-minute stroll to the little village with its bakery, small grocery store, a couple of restaurants and a wholesale Farmer’s market on some afternoons each week. This attractive area is loved by walkers with its dense forests – follow a wonderful walking trail through the pine trees to an 11^th century chapel nearby.

There are interesting places to visit in every direction from historic Tarascon and Beaucaire by the banks of the Rhône to the artistic towns of Arles and Saint-Rémy where Van Gogh created famous works of art.

Not to mention the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Avignon, Nimes and Le Pont du Gard or stay slightly closer to home and explore the windmills of Fontvieille, the olive groves of Maussane-les-Alpilles and the incredible vistas from Les Baux-de-Provence.
