About Catherine Antoine
We are a Franco-American family who traveled and lived all over the world. When we decided to settle down, we looked all over the South of France for a quiet place, yet easily accessible and real interesting. Saint-Rémy de Provence was exactly what we were looking for. The local population is born there, and has a wonderful culture. We are blessed to be able to keep the house in the family as a haven for peace and happiness. We hope everyone who comes and visit enjoys the same.
Catherine Antoine purchased this house in 2008
Why Catherine Antoine chose Provence
It is lovely, not too big, not too small. It is located a 20 minute-drive from the high speed train TGV which takes you directly to Charles De Gaulle international airport, or Paris. One hour from Marseille and not much longer to Nice.
Yet it is so uniquely different, authentic, quiet and the smells of thyme, lavender and rosemary wrap you up in another world of delicious sensations.
What makes this house unique
Close enough to walk to town or tourist attractions yet secluded enough from the hustle bustle of town during the tourist season of July-August.
Also, contrary to other towns and villages in Provence, it has kept its original population and character. This is not a made over village for tourists or wealthy retirees from Paris and London.
You can either use the house as a base to visit Provence and the Riviera; even spending a day or two in Paris; or you can stay put, read, swim, walk and bike around town and enjoy the marvellous restaurants or cook after shopping at the local market.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Our stay was restful, interesting and fun. We thank the family who has so generously open its doors to our own family. This is a memory we will cherish.
Saint-Rémy is a lively city in summer and we enjoyed the restaurants and fairs, but it was a blessing to be able to come back to Pitou's calm at the end of the day. We ate outside every day, and loved the sound of the "cigales," the wind in the pine trees and the occasional call of the donkey in the neighbors's yard.

Great house with pool walking distance to St. Remy
We had a great stay at this house in St. Remy. It is spacious and the pool and location were wonderful. St. Remy is a charming town that is centrally located for day trips throughout the Provence region. The house was about a 10 - 15 minute walk front the center of St. Remy. The house was well equipped and supplied for our stay. Communication with the owner was good leading up to our trip, although the woman who checked us in to the house speaks very little English. Between her little bit of English and my little bit of French, we muddled through fine. The pool was absolutely wonderful and it was heaven to be able to swim after a day of sightseeing. My only negative comment would be that this rental needs an update and some of the furnishings/decor need to be replaced. As a rental property owner myself, when I evaluate the condition of a property I am staying at I always keep in my how much I am paying to ensure that my expectations are in line with what the property will support from its revenue. In addition, in this case we were lucky enough to have rented 4 different apartments in 3 different countries during our travels, so I also had some basis for comparison at the same price point. This rental had some obvious maintenance issues like stains on curtains/furniture/carpets, and some really uncomfortable beds and bedding. Although I didn't expect luxury accommodations, it just does't cost that much to pick up some new Ikea curtains, sheets, and duvet covers. In addition, the decor was just plain odd, IMHO. I don't expect "House and Garden", but it felt like the house was furnished from garage sales without much thought put into it. The bedroom I stayed in during my week in Provence had a red racing stripe painted across all 4 walls and had a kimono hanging on the wall (nothing says "Provence" like a kimono, right?), while the bedroom my son stayed in had an antique sewing machine in it. So although I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this rental based on its location, the pool, and the size/value, I personally probably wouldn't stay here again because the condition/decor and uncomfortable beds bothered me too much.

Une semaine de détente au Mas de Pitou est toujours très bénéfique.
Le calme du Mas et l'activité de Saint Rémy forment un excellent ensemble.
Chacun y trouve son bonheur.
Les activités sont fournies : sportives (randonnées pédestres, VTT …) culturelles : (visites des beaux villages, musées …)
Je ne pourrais que recommander ce lieu.
J'attends avec impatience de revenir.
Lovely place
We had a really good holiday at Le Mas de Pitou. The house itself is spacious, comfortable and well equipped and the outside area is wonderful - a shaded eating area, lots of olive trees around the pool and a fig tree which supplemented our lunches! St Remy itself is lovely - lots of restaurants and an excellent Wednesday market. Carole, who manages the property, was pleasant and helpful. We hope to go back.
A wonderful property!
The house is very spacious and charming. The children love the pool. The location is great, just a 15 minute walk from town and the attractions, and yet it is quiet and peaceful. Be sure and go to the market on Wednesday and make yourself wonderful lunch in the beautiful new kitchen. A beautiful garden spot set amongst the fields and olive groves.

Paradise in Provence
Exceptional house, exceptional location, exceptional service! The Mas de Pitou has it all -- fully equipped kitchen, many books in French and English, indoor and outdoor dining, swimming pool with outdoor shower, all in a secluded and quiet setting, but only a 15-minute walk to the middle of St-Rémy-de-Provence, with its innumerable restaurants, including three with one-star Michelin ratings in town (La Maison Jaune) or nearby. It's most convenient to have a car to get to the many nearby attractions, such as Les Baux, Pont du Gard, Arles, Avignon, Orange, and much else. You can fly to Marseilles or take the TGV to Avignon and then rent a car there. The let-in lady, Carol Ferri, was thorough in explaining everything about the house, and was always available by telephone if we had any questions. You can't go wrong with this house!
Map
