Wonderful secluded hideaway
We really enjoyed our stay in this special place. Close to Saint Remy and ideally located to discover the Provence. We loved the setting, the privacy and identity of this unique hideaway. The accommodation was super clean and was well equiped. Where it could improve is the provision of drinking water and the interior design to create a more homely and generous feel. I look forward to returning to this beautiful place.

Lovely rural stay
Delightful small cabin a short distance from Saint Remy de Provence. Good value for money and a comfortable stay.
Host was helpful in arranging access/handover and communication was good.
I had not understood from the property listing that the water supply was not drinking water - perhaps this should be made clearer. Also, I had failed to realise fom the property descrition that there was no WiFi and this caused me some challenges. Perhaps I had not read the details carefully, as nowadays one tends to assume that internet access is available by default.
All in all, a lovely property and I would be happy to visit again or recommend to others.

Very relaxing in the countryside
The property is good and has everything other than a/c - it can get a little warm and if it is still (no wind) bites are possible - we got bitten quite badly on the first night in the garden at dusk but once you work that out it’s easier to avoid.

Lovely Building
If you want a rustic experience then this is for you. It is comfortable and has all you need however for us it needs to be a little more modernised. Of course that is the charm for some people.
It was terribly hot and there was little space to store clothes or food we had brought.
It is also a little far out of the town and a car is necessary for the evening if you want to venture into the town.
The building itself is beautiful and the hosts were very easy to contact and most pleasant.

Rural and Rustic
The property itself was as we expected but it was a little more rural and isolated than we’d imagined, a very long walk into St Remy. Maybe a little too rural for me but if you want seclusion it’s perfect! Accommodation is simple but very clean, with lots of outdoor space that our dog loved especially after 2 weeks of hotels! St Remy is a lovely Provençal town with lots of restaurants and nice shops.

so relaxed we forgot the time !
This was a return visit to this delightful property, its isolation and simplicity suit us as a couple....not to mention the space for near daily badminton and frisbee playing.
we visited a few local sites, but our main objective this year was to relax....objective achieved we forget the check out date!
Claude arrived to do the usual post/pre guest clan and we were still relaxing on the recliners, OPPS
Claude was very reassuring and calm, one phone call later we had booked in to a local hotel and the car was efficiently and quickly packed.
All that we forget were a couple of phone chargers which have been saved until we return next year.
Thank you Nadine, Giles and Claude.

Great location and very secluded
The property was just as advertised - tucked away in a private location with plenty of space around it. Accommodation consists of bedroom area, kitchen and shower room in a cool stone building. External private paved area to one side, plus open paddock/grass space with gravelled area and plenty of room. Parking right next to property. If you expect to be pampered, this is not for you, but we have had a wonderful time making our own meals in the evening with locally bought produce [we brought some useful herbs and spices with us, but everything else one might need for summertime Mediterranean-style food preparation is locally available - there are local shops of course, but if in any doubt, visit the giant Leclerc at Arles]
The internal space is 'intimate', suitable for a couple who share everything, but if you get on well this is not a problem at all. If you enjoy getting out and about and appreciate looking at historical sites and absorbing the great local Provençal 'atmos' then there is plenty to do without too much travelling. If you are happy with home-prepared seafood, salads etc and eating outside to the sound of cicadas then this could well be the place for you [there are many restaurants in the town too]. we walked to the Roman town of Glanum just outside St. Remy on our first day, and Avingion, Arles, Nimes, Tarascon plus other attractions are all within about 30mins drive. the Camargue is not much further. St. Remy itself [20min walk if you wish to avoid car use] is a thriving tourist-friendly town with a busy market on Wednesdays.
We greatly enjoyed our stay - one point to note is lack of internet access at the property - but many local establishments do have Wi-Fi.

Location surement très agréable au printemps ou en été mais pas adaptée à l'hiver.
Points négatifs :
- Douche avec ballon de 15 litres ( 1 douche mais pas 2)
- Appoint d'eau par pompe dans le cabanon qui se déclenche à n'importe quelle heure
- Pas d'isolation des murs ni de porte d'entrée et chauffage par convecteurs type "grille pain" non adaptés / globalement trop froid
- Lits sans confort avec couvertures trop petites et couette d'été
- Equipements de cuisine rudimentaires
- Pas de réseau ni de box sur place
- Un espace salon pas confortable et rudimentaire
Ensemble spartiate et rudimentaire fait pour une vie à l'extérieure aux périodes chaudes de l'année. A ne pas louer en automne ou en hiver.
Points positifs :
Calme, espace environnant et nature

Cette location n’est pas alimentée en eau potable :
L’annonce correspond à ce qui est décrit au niveau de l’environnement et des équipements mais ce cabanon est alimenté en eau uniquement par un puit qui n’est pas contrôlé par l’agence régionale de santé ce qui est interdit par la loi . Si nous avions eu cette information au départ nous n’aurions pas choisi cette location . Deuxième désagrément, personne pour nous accueillir à l’arrivée après un trajet de 8h00 , il a fallu contacter le service d’urgence d’abritel pour qu’après une heure d’attente quelqu’un vienne enfin nous apporter les clés.

verder weg dan een paar honderd meter
Voor deze woning gekozen vanwege de afstand tot het centrum van st. Remy. Volgens de verhuurder een paar honderd meter, maar dat was wel een paar kilometer. Omdat ik verder geen vervoer had (geen auto -geen fiets) was dat wel jammer.
En ergens in "de kleine lettertjes" staat iets over "eau non potable". dat had wat mij betreft er ook wel iets duidelijker mogen staan.
