The house is superbly located, offering wonderful panoramic views of Provence and the Rhone valley. It’s just 1.5km out of the historic medieval town of Beaucaire with its tree-lined colorful marina. There are countless restaurants, cafès, shops, supermarkets and boulangeries a short walk away through country lanes. Despite its close proximity to nearby amenities, the high walls surrounding the villa and its tranquil hilltop location makes for a peaceful and secluded atmosphere, so you have the best of both worlds.
The main villa can sleep 12 guests in its 6 large double bedrooms, some of which can be converted into twin beds if preferred. It also boasts five bath/shower rooms, three large reception rooms and a fully fitted kitchen. The separate dining area and the al-fresco dining terrace are both great places for entertaining and serving delicious home-cooked meals.
The 13 to 16-person rate also includes separate accommodation at ‘La Petite Villa Romane’ which can accommodate up to 4 extra guests in style and comfort (as featured in the photographs). It is a charming one-bedroom single-story cottage tucked away in the corner of the gardens of the main villa. It is perfect for an older couple who may wish to have peace and quiet, separate from, but near to the main villa, or for a romantic couple who would like total privacy, or for a small family or perhaps even accompanying staff.
The ‘Petite Villa’ is charmingly furnished and decorated in an authentic Provencal style with beautiful tapestries adorning the walls. Both the living area with its sofa-bed and bedroom have glazed double-doors opening directly out on to the shaded sun-terrace and the secluded and totally private ‘petite’ garden.
The spectacular circular pool was built in the style of a Roman colonnaded arena and can be illuminated at night. The poolside terrace with its summer kitchen, barbecue, sun terrace and shaded summer lounge is a real feature of this fantastic French holiday villa, and coupled with the views from the terrace, can only be described as paradise!
There is plenty to explore in this charming area of Provence, with beautiful and historic towns such as Avignon, Nimes and Arles as well as the chic and fashionable St. Remy de Provence and Uzes, all within a short driving distance. Also not to be missed are visits to the Pont du Gard, the Luberon and the Camargue.

Location:
The villa enjoys a hilltop setting just 1.5km away from the historic medieval town of Beaucaire with its tree-lined colourful marina. There are restaurants, cafès, shops, supermarkets and boulangeries within walking distance via country lanes. Nimes, Arles, Avignon and St Remy de Provence are all within 26km and Montpellier is a mere 80km.
Horse riding is extremely popular in the Provencal countryside that surrounds the villa and there are several riding centres within easy driving distance. The river Rhone is just 1km from the villa and is a fantastic place to try fishing, canoeing and kayaking while there are also many mountain biking trails in the vicinity of the villa. The region is of course famous for its wine so why not take part in a wine tasting tour?
Take a relaxed stroll through the nearby villages and towns, where you can find regular antiques markets or brocantes. You might even stumble across a carnival, pageant, processions or one of the historical re-enactments that are held weekly in the summer in both Beaucaire and the surrounding area.
There are no less than 4 UNESCO World Heritage Sites all within a 30-minute drive – the possibilities are endless at the Villa Romane!
