Just wait until you feast your eyes on this country house in the South of France! Villa St-Saturnin is a Provence luxury rental offered by Haven In – a firm with the dreamiest vacation properties.
But First…
Thank you so much for the encouragement and kindness lavished on me since I shared my relief in finding answers for the illness I am experiencing. I appreciate all the tips and prayers. I shared a video in my last post of a haunting chant by Anuna which has kept me company for the past month.
But I’m feeling uplifted and now listening to Lauren Daigle and this in particular, which simply radiates purity, beauty, and truth:
Provence Villa: Timeless & Tranquil Design
This elegant French country home sleeps 12 with its six bedrooms and is located in the heart of the Luberon National Park (45 minutes from Avignon; one hour from historic Aix-en-Provence). The home is a 15 minute walk from the medieval village of St-Saturnin-les-Apt, a traditional Provençal village that has retained its authentic charm.
A Converted Convent!
This historic property was a convent before its architect/designer owners converted it into a home. The Provence home features an enclosed courtyard where a traditional basin and old fountain form an unusual swimming pool. Mature fruit trees, rows of lavender and rosemary, and other typical Provencal plants and flowers populate the interior and exterior gardens. In fact, you’ll find two magnificent Cedars of Lebanon, said to be the oldest and tallest in all of Provence!
What a fantasy backdrop for a Provençal vacation with family or friends!
French Country Interiors
The furniture is a thoughtful collection of French and English antiques, and the architectural details throughout are stunning. Living areas are spread over three floors. A classic reception parlor is found on the ground floor, along with a formal dining room, a large French country kitchen, and a casual TV room.
Room to Roam
Six bedrooms occupy the top two floors, including a studio with private kitchen available for additional visitors. Each bedroom and bathroom is decorated in its own unique style, with charming canopies, luxurious sleigh beds, claw foot bathtubs and sinks set in wrought iron powder tables.
Close to Villa St-Saturnin
Another nearby destination is the village of Apt, a seven minute drive from Villa St-Saturnin. Apt is a bustling town with an enormous Saturday market full of amazing produce, spices, cheese, bread, wine, and lovely Provence finds. Discover interesting boutiques, cafes, restaurants, and a picturesque cobbled pedestrian city center to explore.

So glad that you now have some answers concerning your health. Just the anticipation of relief has to make you feel lifted. You are so lovely. We all want only the best for you. Loved how you wrote, “fierce grace”. So true at times. This helped me when I was dealing with a health mystery; “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” You will be fine. Lovely post today. We can all swoon over the romance of a place such as this. Peace and grace to you.
Thanks for celebrating with me, Mary. I feel a great weight is gone. I somehow prefer fierce grace to warrior references or fighting. While I understand how they may help other people who battle, for me, it helps to know I don’t have to be strong. My faith and strength waver from day to day. But GRACE. Now there’s a source that never changes and remains fierce since it has nothing to lose! I am going to be just fine because, yep. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Thank you for your calming presence and uplifted gaze. xox
