Some quotations from our visitors' book :-
"... the house was beyond our dreams and the property paradisical!"
"What can we say? The villa was fabulous, the gardens incredibly beautiful, the setting outstanding! All of it surpassed our expectations - you should be very proud of this piece of paradise.."
"From the moment we drove through the gates and onto the flower-lined gravel path up to the door of the Gardenhouse, I knew my search was over; I had at last arrived at my very own Shangri-la!"
"A class act in a very classy place, the Gardenhouse should be listed as one of the special 'power places' on the planet!"

Four from Napa

This September, we had the wonderful experience of spending 7 nights at the Garden House. Even though I thought from the pictures and description, this would be a nice place, it far surpassed our expectations. The house was very comfortable for two couples but the garden and pool area were exceptional. it was very relaxing and comfortable, and the host/owner James met our every need. St Remy is a great central location for exploring the hill towns of Provence. We could not have been happier and hope to return again.

Comfort and elegance

Our stay was quite simply the best holiday in ten years. We were able to switch off completely. The gardens are stunning, the beds are comfortable, and the house is the epitome of elegance. We were even able to borrow bicycles and explore the surrounding countryside. A bonus during our stay was the Jazz Festival in St Rémy de Provence, which was amazing, and made even more so because we could return to such a haven of tranquillity. We were only there for a week, but it felt like we had had a month’s rest. This is our new favourite holiday destination, and next time we will be booking for at least two weeks!

A little piece of paradise in Provence

I stayed in this Gite in September last year. The Gite is beautifully decorated and a delight to come home to after exploring the magnificent countryside which surrounds it. The kitchen was so clean and believe me I am fussy, some would describe me as obsessive and suffering from some sort of cleaning disorder...just ask my husband...many arguments have been had over this subject. There was also a lovely basket of food and wine from the local area. The bathroom was not forgotten with a basket of luxury products to pamper yourself after a hectic day. Also on a practical note there is a great washing machine, ironing board and clothes line which is essential when traveling and living out of a suitcase. We will definitely we returning.

Great little house in an idyllic setting and beautiful location. The house was equipped with so much more than just the basics, which made the whole stay more comfortable and homely. Was a little wary of feeling like we were trespassing on the owner's property, given the shared pool set-up, but not only was the house positioned so that there was plenty of privacy should you want it, the pool set-up worked well and it was a real bonus having such a delightful yet unobtrusive host around to share their local knowledge and tips. Came away very relaxed and feeling like we had really experienced Provence. Will definitely return soon!

I advise you this place if you wish to discover the beautiful light of Provence, to feel it's delicate perfumes of lavender, listen to it's accessible nature. The owner of this charming lodging is discrete and share his love for this splendid area of France. Comfortable, clean and decorated with a subtle taste, we spent one week of dream. I would never forget our visits to les Baux de Provence, Alpille, Arles, Avignon

Frankly, the photographs do not do justice to this truly lovely property. The gardens are magnificent, the house so tastefully Provencal, and the owner is a perfect, unobtrusive host. We are enthusiastically recommending this to all our friends.

We just enjoyed a fantastic holiday in this gorgeous house in St Remy surrounded by beautiful gardens, a stunning pool and jacuzzi. The decor was lovely and the kitchen satisfied a very enthusiastic cook, complete with all modcons including the essential- sharp knives! It was the perfect spot to choose for a Provence holiday just 20 minutes from Avignon and all your favourite destinations a relaxing drive away. A welcome basket of goodies and champagne set the scene for a host that cares about you experienceing the most of your stay. Highly recommended for the most discerning of travellers. We loved it so much we changed our plans and extended our stay!
