Unique and charming house

The house upon arrival was as wonderful as its picture, it had all modern amenities and excellent broadband. Very sympathetically restored and in an amazing position. Thierry was the perfect host and very friendly with local knowledge. An excellent base to explore the Carmague and Provence. Highly recommend.

Le propriétaire est sympa et accueille très bien. La maison est propre et équipée correctement. La terrasse est belle, spacieuse et avec le jacuzzi c'est top.

Ferienhaus im Fels mit wunderbarem Panorama

Die Wohnung hat eine außergewöhnliche Lage mit einem besonderen Charme. Man fühlt sich mitten in der Natur wenn man sein Frühstück im Schatten einer riesigen Steineiche genießt. Wir haben das Domizil als Ausgangspunkt für Besichtigungen von Arles, Nimes, Le Baux, Ste Maries de la Mer, Aigues Mortes, LeGrau Du Roi und natürlich Istres selbst genutzt. Istres hat 2 Strände am Etang de Berre die innerhalb 10 min. mit dem Auto erreichbar sind. Die Strände von Fos sur Mer sind auch in 15 min. erreichbar, allerdings ist die Industriekulisse und die Abgase aus den Schornsteinen abstoßend; das ist leider eine negative Erscheinung in der Region; da muss man nicht hin. Die Wohnung an sich bietet alles was man braucht, inklusive Whirlpool auf der Terasse. Der Vermieter Thierry ist ein Organisationstalent, er ist immer hilfsbereit und freundlich, auch seine Familie die vor Ort wohnt. Danke, Thierry et famille!!

Nice house and nice stay

We had a nice stay at this house. The location is ideal for exploring both the Carmague and the Provence regions. Unfortunately, there is a lot of industry at the bay at Fos-Sur-Mer, so the beaches there are not recommendable. However, the beaches in the Carmague are very nice and still reachable within 45 minutes drive. The house itself has a very nice view and tasteful furnishings. We enjoyed our stay a lot. There is some traffic on the nearby road, however not so much in the mornings and evenings. The communication with Thierry was very friendly and efficient. We can recommend this house for Provence- and Carmague-lovers, who do not mind driving around by car.

Schönes Haus & freundlicher Gastgeber

Ein ganz besonderes Ferienhaus in toller Lager. Der Kontakt mit dem Gastgeber war sehr unkompliziert, auch vor Ort war er stets hilfsbereit und die Kommunikation hat gut funktioniert. Das Haus an sich bietet alles, was ein Ferienhaus haben muss. Auch die in der Vergangenheit teils bemängelte Küchenausstattung scheint inzwischen ausgebessert worden zu sein. Das Highlight ist mit Sicherheit die Terasse mit dem Whirlpool. Die Lage ist gut, das Haus liegt direkt an einem kleinen "Etang", an dem sich viele Flamingos einfinden, und befinden sich vielfältige Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in unmittelbarer Nähe. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder und können das Haus nur empfehlen!

schönes Felsenhaus

Sehr netter Kontakt mit dem Vermieter, das Häuschen ist urgemütlich und sauber. Der eigene Whirlpool war super, die Lage ist nicht ganz zentral, dafür sehr ruhig mit nettem Ausblick. Einziges Manko; es gibt keine Toilettentür. Ansonsten ist alles wie auf den Bildern.

Helemaal jezelf zijn lukt hier uitstekend

Het huis biedt alles wat nodig is. De tuin is hooggelegen met prachtig uitzicht op o.m. de flamingo's in het meertje. Het is er rustig, veel zon en voldoende schaduwplekken. De jaccuzi is een extra verwennerij. De omgeving biedt karakteristieke natuur, historie, cultuur en voldoende sfeervolle horeca, met steden als Arles in de buurt ben je prima 'uit' en 'thuis'.

Liebhaber-Objekt in Provance

Wunderschönes altes Haus - nicht für jemanden, der nur Komfort und allgemeine Urlaubserwartungen schätzt. Die Steinwände bringen die Kühle ins Haus, man braucht keine Klima-Anlage, die Vögel sind laut, die Fenster sind klein, die Luft ist feucht, das Besteckt hat bessere Zeiten erlebt. Für die Frankreich-Erfahrene ist jedoch ideal: in einer halber Stunde ist man am Strand oder bei den Pferden oder in einer der kleinen Städte in Provence. Tolle Restaurants im Hafen - sehr zu empfehlen. Die Handtücher werden nicht trocken und die Dusche ist wie alle französische Duschen :-) Wichtig: wirklich nicht für die Hunde and Co und nicht für Raucher geeignet. Die Kinder waren begeistert. Fazit: etwas Besonderes mit Flair, Flamingo und Fledermäuse, nicht für Jedermann. Sehr netter Vermieter :-)

Super petite maison où on a passé un bon moment avec nos 3 enfants.

Cadre super pour une bonne déconnexion. Terrasse super agréable et avec le jacuzzi c était super. La localisation géographique est idéale. Non loin des calanques de Marseille, de la mignonne pte ville de Cassis, de la Camargue. . En terme d equipement, la maison est équipée de tt ce qu il faut. Maison bien propre. Propriétaire s est montré bien disponible (sabs être invasif) pour que nous ayons tout ce qu il faut pr un agréable séjour . A tester absolument lors de votre séjour, le massage d 1h par Marie (coordonnées ds la maison) qui vient à domicile et offre à un super prix un moment de détente magique et très professionnel.

Très belle maison authentique, tout confort. Superbe vue sur l' etang et ses flamants rose. Très bon séjours en famille. Surprise du "chef".....un jacuzzi en remplacement de la fontaine...au top. Camargue, Alpilles,Nimes,Arles,Marseilles, la cotes Méditerranée en 45min...nickel. Tout commerces en 3 min. Si je peux me permettre, en amélioration....un micro onde à renouveler et un peu plus de vaisselle ( assiettes, verres).....mais c est du détails 🙂 Merci
