Wonderful house
The house was everything we expected and more. The pool was the best we've had in a rented property. Sparkling clean when we arrived, cleaned on the middle Saturday. The owner's agent was friendly, helpful and efficient. We are hoping to return next year.
Wir hatten eine wirklich wunderbare Zeit. Die Lage des Hauses ist perfekt. Der Garten und der Pool sind sehr gepflegt und wunderschön. Das Haus ist auch völlig in Ordnung, könnte jedoch an der ein oder anderen Stelle etwas sauberer sein. Da wir uns hauptsächlich draußen aufgehalten haben, hat es uns weniger gestört. Der Ort ist ganz zauberhaft und wir haben so toll gegessen. Ich weiß nicht, ob es Glück war, aber die meisten Restaurants haben uns einen leckeren Abend beschert. Und die Menschen waren sehr freundlich. Der Wochenmarkt ist auch top.
Was ich noch erwähnen möchte, weil es wirklich extrem war: Es gab sehr viele fiese Mücken. Wir wurden so zerstochen, dass wir manchmal nicht wussten, wohin wir flüchten sollen. Da müsste man mal einen Kenner nach Tipps fragen. Die haben uns wirklich geärgert. Aber bestimmt kennt jemand ein gutes Abwehrmittel :)
Insgesamt war es ein schöner Urlaub.
Very well located with a huge swimming pool. Villa tastefully fitted out, exceptionaly clean and well stocked with necessities - just need your own food & drink! Will definitely return.
This rental was ideally situated for seeing many of the sights in Provence, located within an easy drive of Avignon, Arles, Nimes and the Camargue. Parking was easy, the house felt very secure, and the photos of the pool and yard do not do it justice. We loved driving to sights in the morning, coming back to the house for a refreshing swim, then taking the very easy walk into town for dinner.
We really enjoyef our stay! Great location in a secure complex about 15 - 25 min walk into town depending on walking speed. Beautiful big pool. Well equipped villa which has nearly everything you need. Reliable and fast internet. Friendly owner (Tormod) and check in by Angeline.
The check-in was easy and friendly. We enjoyed the lovely garden and massive pool! The view from the terrace is beautiful and the residential area peaceful. Some updating of furnishings required, but still good value for money. Thank you/
Vooral het grote zwembad is prachtig. De ligging van het huis is ideaal, rustig en op loopafstand van Saint Remy de Provence. We hebben een heerlijke week gehad als gezin.
Das Haus befindet sich in einem durch ein Tor gesichertes Quartier in etwa 25 Minuten Spazier-Entfernung vom Zentrum von Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (mit dem Auto wenige Minuten). Der Garten ist atemberaubend schön; vorne mit einer Sitzgruppe, die am Vormittag schön schattig liegt. Hinter dem Haus hat es eine grosse Terrasse mit magischem Ausblick auf den riesigen, darunter liegenden Pool, der eingebettet ist in einen Halbkreis von hohen, rot, rosa und weiss blühenden Oleanderbüschen. Gleich neben dem Haus hat es ein waldähnliches Grundstück mit majestätisch hohen Pinien und Zypressen sowie anderen Bäumen. Das ganze Grundstück ist eingezäunt, was gut ist, wenn man einen Hund mitbringt. Man kann mit dem Hund auch wunderbare Spaziergänge dem Kanal entlang machen, der sich gleich am Ende des Grundstücks befindet.
Das Haus liegt ruhig und allein der Blick auf Pool, Garten, Wald und dahinterliegende, typische Provence-Häuser nährt die Seele!
Es gab auch ein paar kleinere Unvollkommenheiten, wie sie bei einem Haus irgendwann auftreten, doch der sehr zuvorkommende Eigentümer zeigte sich sehr willens, diese schnell zu beheben, weshalb wir gerne einmal wiederkommen würden. Vielen Dank, dass Sie ein so schönes Grundstück an Fremde vermieten!
La maison est magnifique, l’extérieur avec la grande piscine est sublime, très bon emplacement et la cuisine est très bien équipée ! Un endroit à choisir sans hésiter !
Thank you Tormod. What a great week in your house in St. Rémy!
We all enjoyed the magnificent pool and the peaceful shade of the terrace. We’ll be back.

Cher pour les prestations obtenues
- Mauvaise adresse fournie
- Envahis par les moustiques à toute heure de la journée
- Fond sonore de circulation permanent
- Pas de clim
- Interrupteurs des chambres ne fonctionnent pas
- Odeurs d'égout dans les salles de douches
- Très belle piscine mais non chauffée et à 19°C la 1ère semaine de septembre -> inutilisable. De toute manière la piscine était sale et on n'avait pas d'épuisette pour retirer toutes les feuilles et les dépôts
- Aucun rangement possible des courses , pas de grille-pain, pas de barbecue, pas même un rouleau de papier toilettes !
- Personne le jour du départ
Bref, beaucoup trop cher pour les prestations obtenues.
If it’s the swimming you want then you won’t find better
We spent a great 10 days in St Remy. The town is lovely with plenty of places to visit and many great places to eat and drink. The property is lovely with everything you need with the centre piece being the 14m x 7m swimming pool. Great for small children and Adults.
I would recommend a visit.
Excellent for families after a long day out exploring.
Renting was easy and in general good, but VRBo had the wrong address.

Wonderful week in this gem of a holiday villa
Beautiful villa, spotless and well equipped. Perfect home from home for a week. Fantastic, huge pool definitely got the thumbs up from us.
St Rémy is a bustling town with ample amenities and plenty to see and do. It’s a pleasant 15 minutes walk in, though you may prefer to drive to pick up your morning croissants.
Further afield, Arles, Avignon and Nîmes are all within easy driving distance. The kids also enjoyed a day at Wave Island water park and Kayak Vert for some family-friendly activity another day.
Lovely welcome by the house keeper though we didn’t realise we needed to call her - it’s not a self-entry arrangement (the code provided is just for the exterior gate) so make sure you ring the telephone number provided when you know what time you’ll be arriving.
All in all, a wonderful stay, over too soon but lots of lovely memories made.

Highly recommended provence vacation
This was our second visit to this property and it did not disappoint. The Villa is in a great location, has a great pool and great accommodation all round. It is a perfect setting for a truly relaxing family holiday. Our friends who joined us for a long weekend last year thought so too as they booked it for themselves next year. We have stayed in numerous holiday villas in France and elsewhere and this is definitely the best.

Great vacation !
We had a wonderful time in Provence in this great property. The garden, house and pool were very well maintained and we really enjoyed having this huge pool by ourselves. We would gladly recommend this property to others.

Fantastic vacation
This is the second time we visit this property, and we are impressed by the significant improvements and upgrades that have been made. The new huge terrace in beautiful natural stone as well as significant improvements inside have lifted the standard to a 5+ star accommodation. The pool is of course the main attraction, but we really appreciate how the owners keep the property clean and develop it further. We will certainly recommend it to others and we hope we can return soon for another peaceful Provence holiday, but yet with the possibility to walk to the charming and lively city centre.

This is our third year and the stay has got better on each occasion due to the enhancements made by the owner. The new outside terraces are excellent for relaxing. And of course the pool is perfect.
Would thoroughly recommend.

About the host
Hosted by TORMOD SVEEN
We live in Luxembourg and try to spend as much time as possible in St Rémy.
Why they chose this property
We had spent several years renting a house in St Rémy for our summer holidays and had fallen in love with the area - the wonderfully scenic countryside, the scent of the lavender, pine and rosemary in summer, the medieval hill villages, the many local attractions and places of interest, the wine and the marvelous food and the incredible Alpilles. We loved the area so much that we decided to buy our own home and love to share this marvelous part of the world with our friends and family. Even if the house is less than a kilometer from the center of St Rémy it is in a very quiet and tranquil location; a world away from the hustle and bustle of city life and a wonderful place to unwind!
What makes this property unique
We have a wonderful huge swimming pool (14m x 7m) with saline filtration (no chlorine) which makes it very easy to spend a lot of time relaxing on the property and it is of course a perfect place to be for the children. We have recently made a 120sqm terrace with natural stones (travertine) and granite in the driveway and garage.There is a huge range of activities and attractions in the local area: the coast is about an hour away (boat trips to visit Les Calanques between Cassis and Marseille are wonderful), and horse riding, kayaking, cycling, hiking, golf and wine tasting are all local activities which we enjoy. In addition you can just walk from the house up to the marvellous Alpilles - or to the center of St Rémy.
