Magnificent Villa with heated pool in Saint Rémy de Provence

The house is well located for all the interesting sights in Provence, and Saint Remy is a beautiful town with everything you need day to day. We were there in 40 degree heat so the air con and pool were well used. The house is very well equipped (washing machine, toys/games, comfy beds, seating, kitchen equipment, bikes, etc...) and much more spacious and comfortable than we were expecting.

We were a family of four staying at this villa in St-Remy and overall, we liked it. The house is spacious and reasonably clean and the location, on the outskirts of St-Remy, worked very well for us. There were sufficient kitchen items provided, including spices, oil and leftover dry goods from other visitors. The pool isn't heated so we could not use it in late October but the landscaping was nice and tidy. We enjoyed sitting at the large table for dinner and there were plenty of bathrooms. Although there is no secure parking, we were able to park across the street in an off-street parking bay, which was a bit tight but doable. We really appreciated the washer AND dryer, which were clean and located in the garage area.In terms of drawbacks, I would highlight a musty smell in the house, especially in the ground floor bedroom, which wouldn't air out, so we had to use the A/C for sleeping all the time and that wasn't ideal. At the time we visited, the neighbours to the left were frequently burning something outside, the smell from which made it impossible to open most windows in the morning. I would add more lighting to the dining area. In addition, we had great difficulty getting check-in instructions from the host who did not send any instructions or reply to any of our emails (we had to involve VRBO) up until late afternoon on check-in day. This caused us a decent amount of worry, which could have been avoided. However, on the whole our stay was very good.
