You will find Villa Indigo in the heart of the Alpilles hills of Southern France. It has four air-conditioned bedrooms, sleeping 10 people. The villa has been designed in the style of a traditional Provencal bastide, and is part of a private estate with an other house, close to the old centre of Saint Rémy de Provence.
The town is in the heart of the beautiful Alpilles hills, surrounded by the sights and scents of Provence, and the pure light and colour, which has long attracted writers and artists of all kinds, as well as those who prefer a more relaxed pace of life. St Remy has its own air of quiet chic, elegant shops, and a number of restaurants, little squares with ancient fountains, and shady cafes terraces.
Nostradamus was born here, and Van Gogh found all the inspiration he needed here, painting more than a hundred and fifty pictures in the countryside around. Many of the places depicted in his paintings remain much as they were then.
The villa is set privately in its own garden within the estate, which is surrounded by old olive groves, hedges and scented trees and plants. It has four bedroom, two on the ground floor, two upstairs, each with private shower rooms, and lovely views of the hills from the upstairs rooms. The two double, and the two twin-rooms, have been individually decorated in a Provencal style and the whole house is air-conditioned.
The living room is comfortably furnished, and has a fireplace, a large satellite television screen, DVD and stereo.The kitchen is typically Provencal and well equipped, with a large fridge/freezer, stove, microwave, and dishwasher, and opens onto a covered terrace, where there is a barbecue, and table and chairs. There is also laundry room with a washing machine.
There is a private swimming pool in a lovely, shady setting, which has a security alarm, sunbeds, and garden furniture scattered under the trees. Outside lights softly illuminate the whole property in the evenings, and there is a double parking in the garage.
Saint Rémy has a golf course, as well as, tennis courts and riding stables. You can also go fishing or gliding, and there are endless places to walk or cycle through the hills and discover for yourself, unspoiled, tucked away areas.
Glanum, just outside Saint Rémy is one of the most important Roman archeological sites in Provence. Founded 300 BC, it reveals a civilization that influences life here even today.
You can see thermal baths, an avenue of houses, the temple and the natural spring, and the remains of a Gallo-Roman town dating 30-10 BC. On the road leaving Glanum are the ancient Arc de Triomphe and Les Antiquities, the gateway to Glanum, standing as they have since that time. Close by is St Paul de Mausole, where Van Gogh spent his last days.
From there it is only a short drive through the hills to Les Beaux, an ancient village perched high on the rocks, once one of the most celebrated and brilliant of the troubadour courts of love in the Middle Ages, now romantically ghostly.
The villa is also at the centre of the Baux de Provence and Côteaux d'Aix vineyards and not far from Château Neuf du Pape.
It is important to note that Airports Marseille Internationa is only eighty kilometres, Avignon is twenty kilometres, car rental is available. Road Paris/Saint Rémyisis six hours, Rail Avignon (TGV Paris/Avigno) is two hours and forty-five minutes and twenty kilometres, rental car is available.
