Holiday rental with air conditioning near Saint-Étienne-du-Grès

Sehr schönes Haus mit ein paar negativen Dingen Very nice house with a few negative things

Das Haus war in einem hochwertigen Zustand und schön und komplett eingerichtet. Allerdings waren wir etwas enttäuscht von der Pflege (bzw. Nicht-Pflege) des Gartens. Von den 4 Holzliegen waren 3 defekt und gebrochen. Die Gläser mussten wir erst einmal spülen bevor wir sie benutzen konnten. Leider war aus der Beschreibung bei Buchung nicht ersichtlich, dass das Haus ca. 50 m Luftlinie von einem sehr stark befahrenen Kreisverkehr entfernt liegt. Der Außenbereich war von 6 bis 19 Uhr von dauernden Verkehrsgeräuschen betroffen, insbesondere lauter LKW-Verkehr beeinträchtigte sehr stark den Garten und Poolbereich.

The house was in good condition and beautifully and fully furnished. However, we were a little disappointed with the maintenance (or lack of maintenance) of the garden. Of the 4 wooden loungers, 3 were defective and broken. We had to wash the glasses before we could use them. Unfortunately, the description when booking did not indicate that the house is about 50 m as the crow flies from a very busy roundabout. The outdoor area was affected by constant traffic noise from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., with loud truck traffic in particular having a very bad impact on the garden and pool area.

A great base for a family or group of friends

We really enjoyed our stay in Las Vigueirat - it was a great base for exploring the villages of Les Alpilles. It’s situated on the outskirts of St Etienne du Gres and is very quiet and peaceful. The Mas is very spacious, superbly equipped and very secure. The garden is well looked after with plenty of shady spots - we got full usage from the pool - it was lovely and warm! We never met our host. Despite arriving punctually at 16.00 hours as arranged we were shown round by the cleaners who were just finishing off. The head cleaning lady did a great job however! Despite having messaged several weeks prior to our arrival to request a cot and high chair for our 15 month old grandson we were disappointed these did not arrive until around 19.00 on on arrival day which meant he was very fractious as it was long past his bed time! Key hand over on departure day was a little irritating too. We all had long drives that day (Cherbourg, Geneva, Montpelier) and were keen to leave punctually but the gentleman picking up the keys arrived 30 minutes after the pre -arranged departure time.

Family Holiday

We had a fantastic week with our family, we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this amazing property. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Everyone in our party absolutely loved the pool area, we had so much fun. The temperature was very warm and it was great to jump into the pool every day. It was kept very clean throughout our stay. The layout of the house with the three separate sleeping areas with bathrooms was perfect for the three groups within our family setting. It was very comfortable and a very welcoming place to stay. Provence holidays also arranged a chef to come and cook at the villa one evening to celebrate my birthday, which wasn’t cheap but was well worth every penny. Julien was very professional, his food was delicious and the whole experience was a real treat. Just one small point to note; we arrived at the property later than expected due to delays in our flight time and we were tired after a long journey. It would have been nice if the welcome pack had included milk, coffee, bread & butter, not just the wine and water. Having said that, we will definitely be back.
