Charmante Maison Arlésienne située dans le centre ancien

Nous avons adoré notre séjour dans cette charmante maison typique de Arles.

Une maison en ville proche de tout et très facile a vivre! Marie Hélène est une hôtesse très sympathique qui a pris le temps de répondre a toutes nos questions. Arles et la Camargue en cette saison valent vraiment le détour!

Une semaine de vacances dans une petite maison où rien ne manque. Très bien située (tout se fait à pied), très bon accueil par des personnes très sympathiques. Recommandé sans hésitation.

Wonderful experience staying at Marie-Hélènè’s house in the la Roquette neighborhood in Arles. The neighborhood and the house are rich in history, and this little house is full of quirk and character, which we loved. The space is definitely small but extremely well-utilized, and Marie-Hélène was a responsive and kind host - even helping us score a parking space nearby when we first arrived so it would be easier to bring in our luggage (the streets in la Roquette are mostly pedestrian-only). If you want to get a feel for the old part of the city, it is hard to imagine a better spot. It was also very easy to get in and out of town for day trips. Parking is a bit of a challenge but really not worse than other places we have been driving to. Our only complaint about our visit had nothing to do with Marie’s place - we arrived just in time for « la canicule » (heatwave); it was brutal (high of 109 one day) and cramped our style, but Marie-Hélène had suggested the cryptoportique and we also went to the museum nearby. Why that museum was not mobbed is a mystery to us - it is one of the most amazing museums we have ever been to, and we have been to many.

But really, this little house is a great value and a wonderful home base. Lovely touches throughout, including lavender and « cigales » (cicadas) in the decor, very Provençal. There is a terrific boulangerie a few blocks away, where the bread and pastries were fantastic and the staff had patience with our imperfect French.

Highly recommend! We would totally stay here again!

We found the location to be very central in Arles for visiting the town. The town has great Roman sites to visit. The location was also central as a jump off point to other towns in the area, like Avignon and Gordes - two must see places. The apartment was clean and well stocked and decorated. Steep narrow stairs up to other levels. We found this location quaint and comfortable.
