Scenic Maison Maltese | 4-Bedroom Apartment in Saint-Remy-de-Provence

Eight guests arrive at a narrow lane in the old quarter of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and find themselves at the entrance to Scenic Maison Maltese, a luxury townhouse rental that sits steps from the celebrated Musée Estrine. The Maltese cross adorning the doorway—photographed by visitors daily—marks the threshold to a property where 18th-century architecture meets contemporary refinement. This is not a villa in the countryside. This is the heart of Provence’s most culturally vibrant town, where art galleries, market stalls, and restaurant terraces line your cobbled doorstep.

Inside Scenic Maison Maltese

Scenic Maison Maltese sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, distributed across three floors of meticulously restored townhouse living.

On the ground floor, you step into a living and dining room designed in warm, contemporary tones—curated artworks from local architects and painters hang on freshly plastered walls. The kitchen stretches along original stone walls, its countertops fitted with Miele and Smeg appliances, dual dishwashers, dual fridge-freezers, a wine cellar, microwave, Nespresso machine, and a full suite of small appliances from juicer to blender. Beaucaire stone flooring runs beneath your feet. A pantry holds additional storage. The kitchen opens directly onto a narrow lane facing the museum entrance—step outside and you’re at the threshold of Saint-Rémy’s cultural heart. A grand staircase anchors the ground floor beside a vintage sewing machine and piano; a guest WC with stone basin completes this level.

The first floor holds two spacious bedrooms. Bedroom 1 measures 36m² and offers a king-size double bed (180x200cm), television, portable speaker, and a private loggia furnished with two armchairs, a table, and a coffee tray with Nespresso. Doors open to a small stone balcony overlooking the museum entrance below, set with a bistro table and two chairs. The en suite bathroom features a walk-in shower, stone basin, and WC. Bedroom 2 spans 40m² with a king-size bed (180x200cm), street-facing views, a long sofa, Smart TV with Netflix and Canal+ access, and an open-plan bathroom featuring a copper bathtub, hammam rain shower, sink, dressing area, and separate WC.

Climb to the second floor to find two further bedrooms. Bedroom 3 measures 38m² with two single beds (90x200cm, joinable into a king configuration), museum views, Smart TV with Apple TV, and a studio space with artwork and working desk. The en suite bathroom contains a double walk-in shower, freestanding bath, and WC. Bedroom 4 spans 40m² and includes a king-size bed (180x200cm), street views, television, comfortable armchairs, and an open bathroom with bathtub, hammam shower, sink, dressing area, and separate WC.

All four bedrooms feature premium linens and individual character. Each bathroom showcases period details—terracotta tiles, Baux stone, hand-laid mosaics—alongside modern comfort. Bathrobes and Provençal toiletries stock each suite.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The outdoor grounds occupy 120m² across the third and fourth levels and represent the property’s crown jewel. A heated pool measuring approximately 2.5m × 3.5m anchors the space, fitted with a safety alarm system. Two sun loungers sit poolside on the decked terrace.

The outdoor kitchen commands the space—electric plancha, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, blender, juicer, kettle, Nespresso machine, and an indoor bar with glass washer and freezer. An outdoor dining table seats twelve guests. A WC serves the outdoor zone.

Above the pool, the upper rooftop terrace becomes the property’s sanctuary. An outdoor lounge furnished with seating and an ethanol brazier captures 360-degree views across Les Alpilles mountains and the Provençal landscape beyond. Sunset from this vantage point transforms the sky into shades of amber and rose, the medieval silhouettes of distant villages framed against the light.

A private, secure parking spot lies 250 metres from the main entrance.
