About this property

Luxury villa - Great for family/friends reunion, heated pool, AC, walk to town

Just outside the historic village of Saint Remy de Provence, you will find our secluded gem. With four bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths, and covering a roomy 210 square meters (2,260 sq. ft.), this is an authentic yet modernized Provencal villa. Central air conditioning keeps the house at an ideal temperature no matter the outside heat. Its French owners, who have lived in many countries, have applied international standards of comfort, taste, and amenities, all chosen to enhance your enjoyment of the renowned Provencal lifestyle. The house is quiet, functional, and well laid out, with living quarters on one side and bedrooms to the other. The house is cooled with an eco-friendly air-conditioning system taking full advantage of cooler nights (the house is also cooled during the day but needs all windows and doors closed).

The master bedroom features its own en-suite bath. Awaiting you outside are a child-safe, very private pool, a terrace, large (1500 sq. meter) landscaped grounds, and ample space for lounging or entertaining, all screened by hedges, pines, flowering laurels and lavender, with timeless olive groves and vineyards nearby. The location, bordering the Alpilles Parc Reserve, is ideal for exploring Provence.
Lovely Saint Remy is an easy stroll away. Hiking and biking trails originate a few hundred meters from the house. The next “street” over is an actual Roman road, the Via Domitia, which leads to the ancient site of Glanum less than three km. distant. Day trips might include many close-by beauty spots on the Mediterranean and the Rhone, and historic Provencal towns such as Arles and Avignon.

Entertaining

Every aspect of Mas Aurelia has been designed for playing host in the classic Provencal manner. The house sleeps nine people very comfortably, and can just as comfortably entertain a dozen or more during the day. Living room, dining room and eat-in kitchen are open, airy and light. A large and expandable teak table and 10 chairs can be set on the terrace under the shade of the house or under the trees in the yard. A new, large Weber barbecue awaits your grilling talents. The pool makes an especially wonderful display at night: turn on the pool lights, and just a few inside lamps, and enjoy brilliant star-lit skies framed by the surrounding pines.

The house is equipped with cable TV in English (BBC, CNN), local phone and internet (Wifi). In the Kitchen, you will find a gas stove, an oven, a microwave, a toaster, a kettle, a coffee machine, a large refrigerator and freezer with ice dispenser and a dishwasher. All the utensils and cookware needed to cook a proper French meal if you so desire.

​THE MASTER BEDROOM The large (42 sq. meter) master suite, with south and west exposures, includes a Queen bed on the main level, and a single bed on the mezzanine, along with an en-suite bath (shower, sink, toilet) and two closets. A twin bed is available on the mezzanine.

​THE OLIVE TREE BEDROOM This large (20 sq. meter) room is decorated in green and sand tones, giving it a very relaxing and comfy feeling. The room also has two closets.

THE WHITE BULL BEDROOM A large white-paper bull’s head on a deep blue wall sets this room’s theme and character. A smaller (10 sq. meter) space that holds two single beds and a single closet, the bedroom has views of the pool and backyard and is close to the Olive Tree Bedroom.

THE MAZET BEDROOM (Guest House) Set apart from the main villa, this “mazet” or guest house is ideal for those seeking a bit of independence and quiet. Close by the pool, it is a large (23 sq. meter) space with its own full bath, hot water heater, and ceiling fan, along with a Queen bed and two closets.

The Olive Tree and White Bull bedrooms share a full bathroom with a tub and coarse marble tiling throughout.

There is another independent toilet with a sink.

Une maison exceptionnelle dans un environnement enchanteur
Nous avons passé une superbe semaine au Mas Aurelia. La maison est belle, bien équipée et confortable. L’espace extérieur, avec sa cour bien aménagée et sa piscine, est idéal pour se sentir au coeur de la Provence. Un coup de coeur, nous y retournerions avec plaisir!

Great stay
We loved the property. Everything was smooth. We were happy we had a house so close to Saint Remy. We would recommend this property to others.

Best family facation ever!
We spent two weeks in Martin's amazing house, just a short walk from the magical town of Saint Remy de Provence. The house is spacious and well appointed, with everything one might need to be super comfortable. There were six of us, and we had ample room to spread out and be on a proper vacation. Tastefully decorated and with a cleaning on the Saturday, the experience exceeded the VRBO description. The grounds, the grill, the pool, and the privacy provide an oasis for the perfect family vacation. We will definitely be returning to Martin's house for future holidays in Provence!

Wonderful month
We had a wonderful month at Mas Aurelia. We retired about a year ago and the property was terrific for hosting family and friends who came to visit. (Part of the month, we enjoyed it on our own without guests.) The property is spacious and modernized. We were there during a heat wave, and the pool and A/C were essential. We cooked on site a number of times and used some of the herbs that grow on site. The host was very responsive with respect to the very few (and minor) problems that arose. Mainly, we just asked Martin informational questions. St Remy is a great base from which to explore surrounding cities and villages (we put 2500km on the rental car). St Remy is walkable - about a mile away. We would certainly return.

2nd Stay at Mas Aurelia
Our 2nd time visiting Martin's property albeit with a 5 year gap in between. This is a home not just a rental property. The bedding, furnishings (indoor and out), pool and grounds are all top notch. With any property, location is one of our top priorities and Mas Aurelia is a 10 out of 10. You can walk the canal path or roads to get to St Remy in about 15 minutes (market day is Wednesday), walk to the Roman ruins of Glanum or St Paul Asylum (where Van Gogh stayed and painted) in about the same amount of time. We hiked out the front door into the Alpilles for some magical views and rented e-bikes in town for a great day of biking around Provence. Further afield is Arles, the hill towns of the Luberon and Aix. We highly recommend this vacation home to experience life in Provence. Thank you for letting us stay in your home again, Martin!

About the host

Hosted by Martin Guillaume

Host profile image
We are two executives who, in between our travelling lifestyles, come to take refuge in this haven of peace - the cradle of our family.

Why they chose this property

Provence's endless charm, close to St Remy without the noise.

What makes this property unique

Apart from the closeness of the village, there are the GR paths which begin just a few metres away from the house. What we like most is the tranquil, private aspect of the garden in a functional, comfortable house.
