We were a group of 5 friends in our 60’s & 70’s who rented this house based on the description of the beds/bedrooms. We realized that 2 sisters might need to share one of the King beds if the futon was not very comfortable. Unfortunately the “futon bedroom” was in the living room (not a possibility) and the 2 twin beds were child sized…located in what felt like a closet with a low ceiling. Luckily, we had 2 sets of sisters who ended up sharing King beds, which would have been even more uncomfortable had we not been related. The house is gorgeous, Gil was very responsive, and the location was ideal. This is a lovely property, but the bed/bedroom description is incorrect. It’s a 3 bedroom home with an alcove for 2 children.

We could honestly have stayed forever! The house is even more beautiful than the website photos. The interior and furnishings, stunning. The pool and garden, sublime. The cabana, just dreamy. And the location, amazing, just a stone’s throw from the centre of St Remy. We knew from the listing that it was going to be a special place. But in reality it was beyond special - thanks to the thoughtfulness of the hosts, it was simply perfection. We were travelling with our baby and 3 year old daughter and Béatrice went to incredible lengths, providing all we could possibly need (and more!) to make our stay as stress-free as possible with the little ones. Of course the standard things were provided, as you would expect (cot, high chair, kids cutlery etc) but it was all the little extras that really made the difference. Boxes of toys, dressing up outfits and swimming aids for the little one. A next-to-me crib (in addition to a standard cot and outdoor playpen) and even a bouncer chair for the baby. Baby comforter, sleeping bag, the list goes on. We literally couldn’t have asked for more. Communication with the hosts was a delight. Sometimes you meet people and think to yourself that they are just the kindest people on the planet. That was the case with Béatrice and Gil. You will not regret a stay here. Just go ahead and book it - as long as it’s not for when we want to come back!

We had a wonderful 4 nights at the Villa. It was the perfect location to walk into town and the perfect place to relax after a long day of sight seeing. the pool and all the rooms were a dream! Would love to return.

Couldnt have been better placed, a stones throw from a charming town yet quiet enough too. Beatrice & Gil coukdnt have been better hosts.

We love Villa Joalyse so much we came back for another stay. The local is uniquely special, just steps from the town center (restaurants, shops!). The living area is comfortable, the bedrooms are spacious, and the kitchen well-stocked. The pools adds a definite perk during warm weather. A stay at Villa Joalyse makes a visit to Saint-Remy-de-Provence all the more special.

We had a wonderful time in St. Remy de Provence! The hosts were amazing and very helpful. It is a beautiful home and a perfect location for day trips to the many sites nearby. We will definitely be back again!

We spent 4 nights at Villa Joalyse. It was one of the nicest home rentals we have ever stayed at and we seriously considered extending our stay because we would have liked to spend an evening or two cooking at home and relaxing but instead we are planning a return trip. Beatrice was so gracious. She wasn’t able to meet us for checkin (which wasn’t expected) due to a family commitment but sent instructions along with photos which we used to enter the property. We were a little confused on accessing the front gate but a quick call to Beatrice clarified our question. It was super convenient to park in the courtyard and we had a much larger SUV than needed (that’s a not great story about getting up sold at the Hertz car rental in Barcelona…to be shared on a Hertz review) but no issues coming and going. The villa is beautiful and so tastefully decorated. Beatrice had a lovely welcome gift waiting for us when we arrived which was so thoughtful after a long day drive from Spain. After our first day, we felt like we were staying at a dear friend’s house who enjoyed entertaining as every type of glass, dish, platter, serving utensil was readily available for us as enjoyed our happy hour each evening. Unfortunately we never made a meal at the house but there were a great selection of spices, pots and pans plus a barbecue grill which would have contributed to a lovely evening. Our beds were super comfortable, quiet and lovely linens made this spot a great transition away from jet lag. Beatrice has really invested in top notch, high quality amenities. Wifi worked great and we are avid on streaming and downloads. And when we aren’t online….and if we return with family….the villa has a huge library of games and things to enjoy while there. As I shared…we needed more time to just enjoy the villa. We looked at options outside of Saint Remy but chose to be within walking distance of town, this served us well as have early and late risers which means early risers can walk five minutes to enjoy croissants at a cafe or pick up fruit at the local grocer. I celebrated my birthday while there and Beatrice texted a lovely birthday wish and an invite to expend our checkout time….plus dropped off macaroons as a gift. Totally unexpected- above and beyond thoughtfulness. Other nice to know things….we used the washing machine in the basement. Laundry soap was provided and we dried our clothes on the rack. Umbrellas to borrow for a rainy day.

We had the most wonderful stay at Beatrice and Gil's beautiful villa. It is even more lovely than in the photos - and the photos are gorgeous. They have thought of every luxury, large and small. The home is appointed beautifully, in every detail. The kitchen is well equipped and everything worked perfectly. Their welcome baskets were so gracious. Plus, it is just a very short walk to the center of town so I cannot imagine more convenience. We would absolutely look forward to staying here again and again!
