Unique Location de luxe à Arles & Parking

This is a somewhat extraordinary house, just steps from the famous Roman Arena. It is almost over equipped with machinery: heating, air conditioning, washer/dryer, dishwasher and every possible kitchen appliance. Like everywhere in Arles it involves circular stairs but they are well lit and all have hand railings. The drawbacks: the living room opens directly onto to the street, the Arena and neighbouring gift shop with a huge shopfront type window so passing tourists are sharing your cocktails! The kitchen is in the basement (more stairs) and hence is somewhat gloomy. We managed to miss the demand for “Additional Information” way down on the VRBO site requiring 150 more Euros in cash for cleaning, a lengthy contract and passport pictures—only missing a request for fingerprints! We were also frustrated by a lack of accurate information about car access to the house. Although the rental includes a free parking space some blocks away there were restrictions on any cars entering central Arles as of May 1 without a special pass. Although we spoke to the owner 3 times on the day we arrived (May 9) there was no mention of this making getting ourselves and our luggage to the house next to impossible. The owner arrived the following day with the required pass so was obviously aware of this procedure. There is also a quite cheap municipal parking lot (free at night) much nearer the house than the free spot provided. Once we found the house (on foot) the owners were very gracious about helping us deal with the car and our luggage but lacking accurate information in advance was frustrating.

This ancient 4 storied townhouse has all the modern conveniences: spotlessly clean, beautifully appointed and well supplied kitchen, comfortable beds, well heated/air-conditioned rooms, lovely artwork galore, and perfectly located with great restaurants within a stones throw from the front door.

We will highly recommend this vrbo to our American friends and will definitely return if we come back to Provence-Alpes-Côte. Arles is the perfect location from which to explore all of Provence.

Kitchen is well-equipped; house has good space; close to a number of nice restaurants.

We had a wonderful time staying here in Arles. The location was perfect. It was so amazing to look out the window and see the Roman arena. We loved the house and its beautiful decor. Like staying in our own little castle! So convenient for exploring this town and nearby countryside.

The house was decorated beautifully and is located near restaurants and historic sites. We enjoyed breakfast and coffee each morning in the house, The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Vivian would answer any questions, and was very prompt in responding to emails. If we return to Arles, I would definitely book this house again.
