Home description
This is one of our most popular gites because the owners have thought carefully about what's important to holidaymakers.
It a relatively new building, built in the traditional Provencal style, next door to the owners private villa. The owner obviously has a flair for interior design and has created a very comfortable 1 bedroom gite, ideal for 2 – 4 people.
It's beautifully furnished using local colours, fabrics and tiles, is spotlessly clean and has the bonus of air-conditioning.
You have direct (and gated) access to the lovely mature garden and swimming pool. Once you’ve cooled off in the pool, why not strike up the BBQ, pour a glass of local Rose and soak up the tranquil countryside around you!
Although this is a countryside setting, dominated by orchards, olive groves and vineyards, you’re only 3KM from shops and markets of Raphele, Pont du Crau and Arles.
