Les Muscades des Alpilles

Les Muscades des Alpilles is rented as a whole: these are not rooms booked separately, but a detached 250 m² villa. Three bedrooms accommodate up to eight people, with three bathrooms. The layout suits stays with family or friends, allowing everyone to enjoy their own space while sharing the living room and communal areas. Views of the garden, pool and mountains offer different perspectives on the outdoors.

The villa also has an equipped kitchen, a dining area and living spaces. The sleeping arrangements comprise two large double beds, one double bed and two sofa beds. Facilities include air conditioning, a fireplace, a bath and a walk-in shower. The patio, terrace and private pool extend the living areas outdoors. It is a single rental, with a private entrance and facilities suited to stays of several days.

The outdoor areas include a private pool, garden, patio and sun terrace. Outdoor furniture and a dining area make it easy to enjoy meals outside, while the barbecue completes the setup. Sun loungers, parasols and a children's pool add to the leisure facilities; a hot tub and an open-air bath are also available.

Inside, the accommodation has a shared lounge with a TV, a kitchen and facilities for preparing meals. Free private parking is available, including an indoor space and access for guests with reduced mobility. Wi-Fi is free throughout the villa. Air conditioning, soundproofed rooms and family rooms add to guests’ comfort. Pets are welcome at no extra charge, and pet bowls are provided. A 24-hour front desk, private check-in and check-out, and laundry service are among the services offered.

Saint-Étienne-du-Grès is a Provençal village in the Alpilles, surrounded by farmland, wine estates and limestone hills. The village has a laid-back atmosphere, with its streets, church and everyday amenities. Explore the surrounding countryside on foot or by car, among olive groves, mas and country lanes lined with Mediterranean vegetation. This makes a good stop for travellers who want to alternate relaxing in a house with a pool and trips to Provence’s historic towns.

Tarascon, 5 km away, is known for its medieval castle on the banks of the Rhône and the Church of Sainte-Marthe. Arles, 14 km away, has the Arles Amphitheatre, the Roman theatre and streets steeped in Roman heritage. Avignon, 24 km away, is a chance to visit the Palace of the Popes and explore the old town. Tarascon railway station makes train travel easier; a car is useful for exploring the Alpilles villages, trails and estates. Nîmes-Alès-Camargue-Cévennes Airport is 24 km away.

Spring and autumn are pleasant times to walk in the Alpilles and visit historic sites without the intense summer heat. In summer, plan outdoor outings for early morning or late afternoon, then enjoy the pool during the hottest part of the day. You could combine a visit to Tarascon Castle with a stroll through the centre of Arles; hikers will also find trails among the massif’s limestone landscapes. Local markets and wine estates offer a taste of the region’s produce and traditions.
