La Villa Ocre

La Villa Ocre is rented as a whole and has three bedrooms for up to six people. This 140 m² house suits a stay with family or friends: it brings together the sleeping areas, a private bathroom and shared rooms where you can enjoy meals and relax. The beds comprise two large double beds and two single beds, distributed across the three bedrooms.

The fully equipped kitchen opens onto living areas that extend the stay onto the terrace. The windows overlook the garden and swimming pool, while soundproofing keeps the interior quiet. The furnished terrace is a place to get some fresh air and eat outdoors. A high chair is also available, and the villa has practical facilities for preparing meals, storing your belongings and enjoying a stay in an entire house.

La Villa Ocre has a private outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a terrace with outdoor furniture. You can enjoy meals outside in the dining area or use the barbecue; the pool is enclosed by a fence. For leisure, the house provides a table tennis table and a billiards table. The kitchen includes a hob, oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, kettle and coffee machine.

The living room has a dining area and a seating area with a flat-screen TV. The house is equipped with a washing machine, tumble dryer, iron and clothes airer. Bed linen and towels are provided. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the villa, and free private parking is available on site. Pets are allowed on request at no extra charge.

Châteaurenard is in Bouches-du-Rhône, on the Provençal plain between Avignon and the foothills of the Alpilles. This small town combines local life, heritage and agricultural landscapes. The orchards and crops reflect the importance of market gardening in this part of Provence. The setting suits travellers who want to explore villages, markets and historic sites by car, while returning to the atmosphere of a small town in the evening.

Châteaurenard Castle overlooks the town and offers an insight into its history; the Museum of Agricultural Tools and Traditions explores the region’s rural trades and customs. Avignon and its Palace of the Popes, a vast Gothic complex listed as a World Heritage Site, are 10 km away. The Pont Saint-Bénézet, made famous by the song, completes a visit to the city. Avignon Sud and Montfavet railway stations are 7 km and 6 km away, respectively. For outings around the villa, the villages of Noves and Eyragues offer another perspective on the surrounding area.

Spring and autumn are pleasant seasons for exploring the country roads and visiting the towns without the intense summer heat. In summer, plan visits for early in the day, then spend the hottest hours by the pool. A trip to Avignon can be combined with a stroll through its old streets and a visit to its monuments. Provençal markets are also a chance to sample seasonal produce; the areas around the Alpilles are well suited to scenic drives through villages and garrigue landscapes.
