Gite St Diane
General Description
- Gite St Diane is one of 4, wonderfully renovated apartments in a great location. It's rare to find such good quality and affordable accommodation so close to the very popular market town of St Remy-de-Provence. The house is tucked away in the stunning Provencal countryside, just off the old Roman road, yet you're within walking distance of the town.
- The design and renovation of the building means that each apartment has a private terrace, but all share the large swimming pool, terrace, gardens - perfect for enjoying the sunshine and tranquillity of Provence whilst sipping a glass of local wine!
- Each apartment is individually and tastefully decorated using a mixture of modern comfort and design, alongside the materials and rich colours of Provence.
- Gite St Diane is ideal for 2 (plus a child). It has an open plan living/kitchen area, a double bedroom (with queen sized bed) and a bath/shower room.

The Local Area
- The gite is perfectly located for exploring the best of Provence. You are just 1.5 kms from Saint Remy de Provence, famous for its Roman architecture and stylish shops, 10 minutes from Les Baux, with its ruined castle and unique rock formations and 20 minutes from the city of Avignon.
- The local lanscape is dominated by olive groves and vineyards, and many of the local villages offer tours of the 'olive press' mills - a good option if you need to escape the Provencal sunshine for a while!
- If you like to explore the local Provencal markets, you’ll be spoilt for choice! There are some excellent Paysan Markets where you will find local produce, grown and sold by some real characters!
- With good restaurants in abundance in this area, it’s not difficult to spoil yourself – holidays aren’t for dieting!
- The Alpilles hills are just a few minutes away so the area is popular with sports and countryside lovers. There are some fantastic walks, cycle routes and mountain bike tracks close by and the area is well know for rock climbing. If you've got the energy you can also try horse riding, golf, tennis and canoeing.
- The sea is under an hour away, with the beautiful Callanques of Marseille to explore as well as any number of the local fishing ports you can find on the coast.
