Augustus’ Secret
A stone’s throw from the centre of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence this gem of a property is one of the town’s best kept secrets. Situated out of sight within a closed landscape garden of 2ha, this extraordinary farmhouse was entirely renovated in 2022, using the highest-quality materials. The house comprises spacious living areas and five large suites, one of which is completely independent of the main house. All the rooms on the ground floor offer access to the garden. There is also a studio independent from the main house with bedroom, shower room and lounge area.
Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (often called St Rémy) is a very quaint town in the Apilles. Steeped in history this medieval village has its own Arc de Triomphe, Mausolée des Antiques and the Monastery Saint Paul de Mausole, along with chic restaurants, lots of tempting boutiques and a charming pedestrian-friendly centre.
Vincent van Gogh arrived in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence on 8 May 1889 after suffering a major mental crisis in which he cut off his earlobe. Arriving from Arles, he voluntarily committed himself to Saint-Paul de Mausole psychiatric hospital and stayed there for a year, until May 1890. It was in his hospital room that he experienced the major period in his life as an artist, and produced almost 150 paintings and numerous drawings, including ‘The Starry Night’, ‘The Almond Tree Branch in Bloom’ and ‘The Iris’.
