Arles holiday apartment "Mas Du Meindray" in Le Paradou

We arrived at Sigrid's and she warmly greeted us and showed us the lovely place we would call home for five days. Each morning she set the table outdoors with freshly made bread and pastries from the local baker, along with jams, fresh fruit, juice and lovely china. She is gracious and attentive without being intrusive. It's the perfect blend of hospitality and charm. She can offer recommendations for dining, sightseeing, auto rental and whatever you need. She is the perfect hostess.

We stayed in the room with a private entrance attached to the house upstairs. The room was charming, clean and comfortable.

We visited in mid-Sept and the weather was beautiful. The pool is lovely but a little cool by American standards. The grounds are delightful and the outdoor kitchen was nice for us to cook one evening and dine al fresco.

The property is about 15 -20 mins via car to Arles. On weekdays, you can walk to the end of the street and take the bus to Arles inexpensively.

The market in St. Remmy is not to be missed.

We loved staying here and hope to return again very soon!

We spent a delightful week here last September and we can heartily recommend it to anyone who wishes to enjoy and explore this corner of France.
Sigrid and Robert are warm and friendly hosts and strike the perfect balance between allowing their guests all the privacy they wish and being on-hand to offer advice.
The villa is in a quiet location and the accommodation is extremely comfortable with the swimming pool extremely welcome after a day’s sight seeing.
While we were there, we took day-trips to les Baux de Provence (highly recommended), the Camargue, Arles, and St-Remy.
We can recommend all of the above and it will not take you too long to realise that you are in Vincent Van Gogh territory.
Paradou itself is delightful and there are bicycles for local excursions and shopping.
You have the choice between eating out (there is a fine restaurant just across the road, and a number of restaurants just down the road in Mausanne) or self-catering in the shared cooking/eating area.
We did both, but each day started with a wonderful breakfast prepared by Sigrid.
In short, Sigrid and Robert have a beautiful home which they are happy to share with their visitors in a way that combines the advantages of self-catering with communal living within a family ambience.
We hope to return and we would thoroughly recommend this to any couple who wish to have both a relaxing and yet stimulating holiday

We had the most wonderful stay at this Provençal Mas. It’s our first holidays alone as a family and the kids enjoyed it. Sigrid and Robert were gracious hosts and catered to our every need. The whole property – 17th century stonehouse, room, pool and garden – has plenty of charm and character. A delightful surprise awaits you for breakfast to help kick start your day. Indeed, Les Alpilles valley is one of Provence’s hidden gems and this Mas is right at the heart of it. We shall return.
