Pretty house, typically Arlesian, furnished and decorated in a vintage-chic and contemporary atmosphere.
Its big plus: a pretty private garden with trees and flowers where a large table will allow you to take your meals in the shade of the fig tree or the arbor ...
The house is very sunny as it is ideally exposed.
Completely renovated since June 2012, on 150m square, and belonging to a couple of collectors, it will seduce art and design lovers, the furniture is original pieces of architects and decorators of the XXth century and works of art. contemporary art, photographs, paintings, adorn the walls.
The area is quiet and safe and you are close to all shops and tourist sites ... It is a lively area, bakeries (3), food (+), shops, bars, terraces, restaurants (++) ... excellent!, with one of the most beautiful market in Provence every Saturday!
Everything can be visited on foot from the house!

We had a great stay in this lovely house and garden! The house is in a perfect location to explore Arles, close to everything!
Thank you!

The property was spectacular with the 3 floors, covered outside garden area, and many get-away areas tucked into the space. The artwork is fabulous and interesting. The kitchen is easy to use and completely stocked with everything you might need with the exception of food which could be found at the local Carrefour or street market. The washer and washroom were convenient for a mid-travel clean up.
We walked everywhere and enjoyed great good, special museums, and the Rhone. One of our group rented a bike and followed the greenway to the Camarque area. We used a pedi-bike to try it out, too, but enjoyed the ease of getting around on foot. We came down from Paris by train and walked right to our villa by following the river.
Excellent place to stay but beware the mosquitoes at dusk. Friendly and helpful neighbors, shop keepers, and fellow tourists.
Plan to stay a year if you want to explore the unfolding 2000 plus years of history available to you within a stone's throw.
We want to come back again.

Lovely large house and garden with excellent facilities and perfect location. It is a bit hot in the bedrooms in August with only fans and no AC, but still highly recommended.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2018
We were a group of seven who loved the situation of the house, in the historic, fascinating area of La Roquette. The house is well placed for exploring the lovely town of Arles by foot, and shops and restaurants are only a short walk away, The house itself has a great deal of character and a lovely garden. We particularly enjoyed drinking our aperitifs and eating dinner in the garden in the warm evenings.
We have the following concerns about the house:
- Photos online are rather misleading as they portray a more stylish interior than we experienced.
-Bathrooms: As there were 7 of us we appreciated the fact that there were two bathrooms. However the bathroom on the second floor was in a poor condition; it had dripping taps, a loose toilet seat and a hand held shower in the bath. This made daily showers difficult; standing in the bath holding the shower spray is not really a satisfactory solution and it was difficult to avoid flooding the floor!
-Storage: In the bedrooms on the second floor there was not enough room for storing clothes. One room had a very small wardrobe and no drawers. The other bedroom had no drawers. It isn’t satisfactory for a couple to spend 2 weeks without being able to unpack clothes from their suitcase
-Safety: One of our party got cut from some broken glass that had not been properly removed from a carpet. One of the electrical plugs protruded dangerously from a bedroom wall. One of the landing windows was broken with sharp edges, which might provide a hazard for children.
-General Maintenance: We had to clean some kitchen items before use as they were covered in dust and crumbs. The shower stall drain was plugged with a large accumulation of hair. The ironing board cover needed replacing.
-There was a TV on the small landing of the second floor but there was no seating so it was inconvenient to watch. There was no printer or BBQ.
- Mosquitoes: We had been assured by the owner that there were screens to mitigate the intrusion of mosquitoes. There were only two, one in a front bedroom and the other in a bathroom.
-Parking: Information about parking and instructions for vehicle access to the house would have been useful.
To sum up; it is obvious some maintenance is necessary to make this house the perfect holiday home. But having said all this, we did have a great holiday. We were a group of cousins and spouses from Guernsey, the UK and Canada and thoroughly enjoyed our family reunion
