We loved our time in St-Remy and were sorry to have to leave!
The property was very much as described, and communication with Nicolas and check-in went very smoothly.
Our rental was comfortable and convenient. We made good use of the outside terrace, where we ate many meals, marveled at the intensely blue skies of Provence, and enjoyed the local birdsong. Though I generally prefer to leave windows open when possible, we were glad to have the option of air-conditioning during some hot days.
We stayed at VillaNova once before (different property), and it worked out very well for us: an easy walk to the center of town, as well as easy access to routes out of town when we wanted to explore other locations, and a convenient designated parking spot. We also appreciated the beautiful landscaping, thoughtfully done and restful on the eyes after a busy day.
We’ve visited Provence several times and are always happy to return. St-Remy is particularly pleasant, with several good restaurants, a wonderful weekly market, and many pleasant cafés. We’ve visited Glanum 3 or 4 times over the years and are always interested to see how it’s changed. (Among other things, one can now get lunch there!) In the surrounding countryside one experiences first-hand the landscapes of Van Gogh.
There are several interesting towns or sights nearby or not far from St-Remy: Les Baux, Arles, the Luberon area, the Rhone Valley region, various Roman ruins, to name only a few. One is spoilt for choice!
