Luxury Village House In Heart Of Historic St. Remy-de-Provencessa

Pictures don’t do this beautiful home justice!

We were excited before we ever got there then completely charmed and blown away when we arrived.

Christiane, who met us had everything in perfect order- and though she spoke very little English and we spoke even less French we managed to charade our way through all the instructions and operations. She was a delight and cheerfully available whenever we had questions.

The home was perfection from top to bottom and embellished with so many gracious, homey, details; orchids everywhere, books in the cabinet, charming vignettes of objet on the tables, nice fabric hand towels, wonderful bedding, well thought out storage for luggage and clothes. Vicki Archer has infused every inch of this charmer with her spirit and wonderful hospitality. We really felt like guests.

The petit little house was a wonderful home base for our exploration of the South of France and St Remy de Provence was one of my favorite little villages-so quaint and quintessential. There are wonderful restaurants around the village, lovely shops, and interesting excursions all within walking distance.

We’ve rented many vacation homes- and usually we find very very good ones- but this place stands out as the very best.

We had a wonderful stay. The apartment was perfect for two couples; extremely comfortable as well as beautifully decorated. We loved the location in the old town of St Remy and enjoyed exploring the laneways. The house was also a great base for day trips to the Luberon, the Pont du Gard and Les Baux and the Carrières de Lumières. We should have scheduled in extra downtime so we could spend more time enjoying the ambience of a beautifully restored old stone house. People watching from the dining table was great fun. Parking was occasionally challenging but usually worked out.

Perfect home away from home. Great location. Within easy walking distance to the center of activity and hightlights. Welcoming. Beautiful decor. Quiet. Restful. Parking right in front. Add to all of this a wonderful host, David Archer, who is easily accessible and responsive to your every need. David and his wife, Vicki, are a talented team who have each contributed their talents and committent to assuring your stay is an enjoyable one.

My husband and I enjoyed our recent visit to St. Remy. Le Petit Bijou was a welcome sight after staying in hotels in Italy. The first full day at LPB, we took care of our laundry, walked around the lovely village, shopped, and enjoy a delightful meal at Le Laille ou la Cuisse. (It was so good, we went back for a 2nd time)

St. Remy is, as stated in other reviews, a perfect base for venturing out to see other towns nearby. But there is so much to see in St. Remy too: Glanum, the Greek/Roman ancient city - fascinating, Saint Paul de Mausole, where Vincent van Gogh spent a year recuperating and painting, and Les Baux - a quick 20 minute drive away.

We would definitely recommend Le Petit Bijou! (Also thank you to Christianne (sp) who manages the house. She took the time and effort to meet us near the church on our first night to "guide us" to the house! We had traveled all day, car, plane, train, and we were exhausted! )

Our stay in Le Petit Bijou was outstanding. Everything in the house is as it is pictured and in perfect and immaculate condition and in superb working order. My husband and I are great tourers so we used LPB as our home base and returned home to have a glass of wine either on our terrace or in a cafe in St Remy, just minutes away. Everything necessary is around the corner, including great restaurants, patisseries, boulangeries and of course the famous market. St. Remy is a great walking town.

Arrangements to rent were very easily made and Christiane, the local manager, was on hand to welcome us and provide guidance whenever needed.

It is indeed a jewel.
