Stylish holiday residences

Most of the time, acquiring a house in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence means buying a holiday home. Second residences thus account for over 10 % of the total. The commune offers village houses, family "mas" (country houses) and charming villas. Properties enjoying a view of the Alpilles mountains are undoubtedly the most sought-after. The trend for "turnkey" homes (ie. ready-to-move-in) also accounts for the success of restored old houses. The neighbourhoods of Les Jardins, La Galine and Saint-Paul are highly-prized, while the neighbouring communes of Maussane and Eygalières compete with Saint-Rémy by offering quieter and less urbanized settings.
