Home description
Like many traditional farming families in Provence the owners of the gite have 'diversified' and created 2 wonderful gites for holidaymakers to enjoy, in the heart of Provence. As a bonus, they continue to farm and like to offer their guests fresh vegetables and eggs!
Gite St Yves has a ground floor double bedroom and bathroom, a spacious living/kitchen area and a private terrace. It's perfect for 2 people.
The inside is open plan, cool, light and clean, but the most stunning thing about this Gite is the location. You'll probably spend most of your time outside on the private terrace, shaded by the hundred year old 'platane tree'. Your view is out towards the large garden, 12 x 6m swimming pool, and olive trees, vines and fruit trees beyond.
This is the place for you if you're looking for calm and tranquillity. There are no neighbours in sight, a rural track, just 20 metres from your gite, gives you access to the stunning countryside around.
Having said this, don't worry about feeling isolated. You're only a 5 minute drives from the well know, prestigious town of Saint Remy de Provence and 20 minutes from Avignon.

The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Bouches-du-Rhone region
One big advantage of this gite is that the owners live in the adjacent farmhouse. They have lived and farmed the surrounding land for many generations, and not only offer you a very warm welcome, but also a wealth of knowledge about the local area and the Provencal way of life.
The local lanscape is dominated by olive groves and vineyards, and many of the local villages offer tours of the 'olive press' mills - a good option if you need to escape the Provencal sunshine for a while!
If you like to explore the local Provencal markets, you’ll be spoilt for choice! There are some excellent Paysan Markets where you will find local produce, grown and sold by some real characters!
St Remy-de-Provence area
The gite is perfectly located for exploring the best of Provence. You are just 5 minutes from Saint Remy de Provence, famous for its Roman architecture and stylish shops, 10 minutes from Les Baux, with its ruined castle and unique rock formations and 20 minutes from the city of Avignon.
With good restaurants in abundance in this area, it’s not difficult to spoil yourself – holidays aren’t for dieting!
The Alpilles hills are just a few minutes away so the area is popular with sports and countryside lovers. There are some fantastic walks, cycle routes and mountain bike tracks close by and the area is well know for rock climbing. If you've got the energy you can also try horse riding, golf and canoeing.
The sea is under an hour away, with the beautiful Callanques of Marseille to explore as well as any number of the local fishing ports you can find on the coast.
