Maison Douce Arles

La Maison Douce Arles offers five rooms for two or three people, ranging from 10 to 27 m². They all have a private bathroom, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a coffee machine. Several overlook the garden and city; some also have a balcony or terrace. The rooms are soundproofed, a welcome feature after a day spent in Arles’s lively streets.

The two rooms with an extra-large double bed differ in size, and the 17 m² version also has a balcony. Another 21 m² double room has a large double bed. The 27 m² Superior Room, the largest, has a terrace and can accommodate three people with a single bed and a large double bed. The small 10 m² double room offers a more compact layout. A baby cot can be requested in some rooms.

The outdoor spaces at La Maison Douce Arles include a terrace and a garden, with outdoor furniture. Luggage storage makes it easier to get around before arrival or after departure, and daily housekeeping keeps the rooms tidy. Express check-in and check-out complete the property’s practical services. The family and non-smoking rooms are air-conditioned; soundproofing, heating and parquet flooring add to their comfort.

The private on-site car park has an electric vehicle charging station and accessible parking.

Arles is a Provençal city on the Rhône, shaped by its Roman heritage and the narrow streets of its old town. Stone façades, shady squares and ancient remains give the city its distinctive atmosphere, while the riverbanks invite you to stroll. History and photography enthusiasts will find museums, monuments and places associated with Vincent van Gogh; you can also make Arles a cultural stop before exploring the landscapes of the Camargue.

The Arles Amphitheatre, a Roman amphitheatre still used for events, is 500 m away. The Musée Arlaten explores the history and traditions of Provence, 200 m away, while the Musée de l'Arles antique displays archaeological collections 840 m away. Arles railway station, 1.2 km away, connects the city by train. If you are travelling by car, Nîmes-Alès-Camargue-Cévennes Airport is 18 km away; paid private parking is available at the property. The old town is easy to explore on foot, so you can go from a museum to a square and then on to the monuments without making several journeys.

Spring and autumn are good seasons for exploring on foot, with temperatures often milder than in the height of summer. In summer, the Rencontres de la photographie brings events to the city and attracts large crowds; it is best to plan visits to exhibitions and monuments for the cooler hours. You can spend a day visiting the Arles Amphitheatre, the collections at the Musée Arlaten and the banks of the Rhône. To extend your stay, the Camargue offers marshland scenery and routes for birdwatching, while the Provençal villages nearby are well suited to a day trip.
