La Résidence Saint Mary

A beautiful chapter is coming to an end. Saying goodbye to our beloved home in Provence as we prepare for our next adventure back to Australia. Forever grateful for the memories made here. 💫

As Christmas settles over Provence, we’ve been feeling incredibly grateful — and a little emotional too.

To everyone who has stayed with us at over the years, thank you.

Thank you for choosing our home, for the memories, the laughter, the quiet moments, and all the stories shared here. You’ve been such an important part of our journey.

This season feels especially meaningful as it’s our final year of welcoming guests. La Résidence Saint Mary has been so much more than a place to stay — it’s been a home filled with warmth, connection, and unforgettable people.

To our family, friends, and loved ones, thank you for your constant love and support. We truly couldn’t have done this without you.

We’re still open through winter and into spring (as far as we know), so if you’re dreaming of one last cozy winter escape in Provence, we’d love to welcome you.

Sending you all our love this Christmas, and wishing you a gentle, joyful New Year 🎄✨

With gratitude,
The Clarke’s ❤️

As summer slowly winds down, our little corner of paradise has been buzzing with amazing guests soaking up every golden ray! 🌞

Just like our English bulldog Choco here, catching the last warm whispers of the season. 🐾

We’re fully booked out until early September, so if you’re dreaming of your own getaway, now’s the time to plan ahead. ✨

As the year winds down, our little corner of the world here in Forcalquier, Upper Provence, begins to settle into a gentle stillness. The final days of the year invite us to cocoon, reflect, and treasure the beauty of another special year filled with incredible people and moments.

From our hearts to yours, we wish you the gift of presence, delightful surprises that warm the soul, and the priceless company of those who make life magical. May this season be joyful, abundant, and truly magical for all.

Merry Christmas and warm wishes from Forcalquier! ✨

As summer comes to a close here in Provence, I can’t help but reflect on how special this season has been…

The house has been full nearly all summer, and it’s been nothing short of amazing to meet so many beautiful souls from around the globe.

Sharing this home with like-minded people who truly appreciate the magic of this corner of the world brings me so much joy.

Now, it’s time to unwind and enjoy some quiet time here, soaking in the serenity of this special place.

If you’re thinking about a getaway, fall in Provence is simply breathtaking - fewer crowds, stunning colors, and perfect weather.

Why not plan a trip? I’d love to welcome you here soon.

Much love! ♥️

Relax on our lounge chairs with a slow brekkie or a good book in our serene green courtyard, designed to keep you cool from the summer sun. Enjoy the daybed, dining area, and BBQ because the Australian part of us wants you to have it all during your stay in Provence. 🏡✨
