Le Petit Citronnier is a charming, beautifully renovated village house set right in the heart of the Provençal village of Maillane. The house retains its traditional Provençal feel, with exposed beams and stone throughout and original tiles carefully kept and repurposed wherever possible, preserving its character while introducing modern comforts.Laid out across three floors, the interior balances charm and practicality with ease. On the ground floor, a bright open-plan kitchen and dining space is fully equipped for everything from simple breakfasts to long, sociable meals. Just opposite sits a cosy living area with comfortable sofas and a Smart TV. Upstairs, four bedrooms are spread across the first and second floors, offering flexible accommodation for families or mixed-age groups. A high-quality duct air-conditioning system provides both cooling and heating throughout the entire house, making it comfortable in summer as well as during the cooler seasons.Outside, the landscaped garden feels like a private retreat despite the central village setting. A swimming pool, which retains its warmth well even when not heated, is surrounded by sun loungers, while the alfresco dining terrace and summer kitchen are perfect for long warm evenings. With shops, cafés and restaurants just steps away, and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence just a 10 minute drive away, Le Petit Citronnier is a welcoming, year-round base in the heart of Provence.

Le Petit Citronnier sits in the heart of the small and characterful village of Maillane, offering a wonderfully authentic base for discovering Provence. Surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and the soft limestone landscapes of the region, the setting feels quintessentially Provençal while remaining extremely well connected. Avignon, home to the iconic Pont d’Avignon, the Palais des Papes and a wealth of history, is just twenty minutes away, while the ever-popular Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is only a ten-minute drive. Renowned for its links to Van Gogh, Saint-Rémy buzzes with excellent restaurants, a lively market and independent boutiques.The surrounding countryside is dotted with vineyards, many of which welcome visitors for tastings, often free of charge, making this an ideal area for wine lovers. The Alpilles National Park lies close by and is one of the region’s most beautiful areas for hiking and cycling, with dramatic views and quiet rural routes. The nearby village of Eygalières is also well worth a visit, known for its charming market and excellent dining scene. Back in Maillane itself, guests will find a bakery, pharmacy, local shop and restaurants all within walking distance, with tennis and padel courts and several excellent golf courses just a short drive away.
