Mirabelle en Provence

Mirabelle en Provence is rented as a whole: it is a 247 m² villa arranged around eight bedrooms and eight private bathrooms. The sleeping arrangements suit a group of sixteen, with single beds, double beds and large double beds. Each bedroom is part of the same home rather than one of a range of separate room categories.

The villa has several lounges and a fully equipped kitchen, making it easy to share meals and downtime in the communal spaces. The terrace and views over the garden, pool or courtyard offer different perspectives on the outdoor areas. Air conditioning, soundproofing and a flat-screen TV add to the facilities. The layout also includes a dishwasher, coffee machine and barbecue. The eight private bathrooms and numerous beds make the villa suitable for group stays.

The outdoor areas include a heated private saltwater pool, a garden, a terrace and garden furniture. Sun loungers, parasols and pool or beach towels are also available. The barbecue lets you prepare meals outside, while the picnic area and outdoor dining area offer other ways to spend a day with family or friends.

Inside, the villa has several lounges, a fireplace and a kitchen equipped with an oven, dishwasher, fridge, toaster and coffee machine. The sauna adds to the relaxation facilities. Wi-Fi is free throughout the villa, and private on-site parking is free, with no prior reservation needed. A 24-hour reception, private check-in and check-out, and bicycle hire complete the services. Pets are allowed at no extra charge.

Eygalières is a Provençal village in the Alpilles, surrounded by garrigue, olive groves and vineyards. You can explore its old centre on foot, among narrow streets, stone houses and small squares, with open views of the surrounding hills. Life here follows the pace of a rural village: visitors come for walks, markets and scenery, then drive to neighbouring villages. Those interested in the countryside and heritage will appreciate this part of Bouches-du-Rhône, away from the major cities yet still accessible from Avignon.

The Chapelle Saint-Sixte, surrounded by olive trees, is one of the area’s best-known landmarks. The Mas de la Brune and several wine estates offer a chance to discover the agricultural landscape and local wines. In Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Les Antiques bear witness to the Roman history of Glanum; the village also has galleries and places connected with art. Orgon and Cavaillon have TER railway stations, while Marseille-Provence Airport is one of the region’s air travel connections. A car makes it easier to travel between the villages and sites of the Alpilles.

Spring and autumn are pleasant seasons for walking and visiting villages without the intense summer heat. In summer, plan walks for the morning or late afternoon and leave time for the pool during the hottest hours. You could spend a day walking around Eygalières, visiting the Chapelle Saint-Sixte and discovering a wine estate. For a longer excursion, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and the remains of Glanum offer a heritage-focused break before you return to the landscapes of the Alpilles.
