Sep 5, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wohnen im Herzen der Camargue Hervorragende Unterkunft inmitten der Natur - absolut ruhig! Wir hatten nur zwei Camargue Pferde auf der Koppel als Nachbarn. Magali hat uns freundlichst empfangen und aufmerksam betreut, mit frischer Wäsche (auch Strandtüchern) versorgt. Möbel und Einrichtung sind sehr geschmackvoll, neu und gepflegt. Die Haushaltsgeräte und die Kücheneinrichtung lassen keine Wünsche offen - wir haben es genossen, selbst zu kochen mit den sehr guten Zutaten, die man bei kleinen Händlern im Ort bekommen kann. Wir hatten viele Mücken befürchtet - dank der Mückengitter an allen Türen war dies im Haus kein Problem. Für die Terrasse gibt es ein elektisches CO2- Mückenschutzgerät. Einziger Nachteil sind die Entfernungen: der Strand Piemanson ist ca. 20 Autominuten entfernt und die nächsten Geschäfte (u.a. eine feine Bäckerei) in Le Salin ca. 10 Autominuten. ##### Arno W. Stayed 12 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### STEPHANIE P. Sep 4, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tout simplement exceptionnel ! Ce mas a été restauré avec énormément de goût et de magnifiques matériaux (sol, salles de bain, cuisine, dressings...) ! Le travail réalisé est admirable. L’intérieur est très cossu et tout est neuf ! L’emplacement au cœur de la Camargue avec un superbe jardin est idéal pour découvrir cette région authentique et préservée ! ##### STEPHANIE P. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Muriel B. Jul 16, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Un super séjour de 5 jours! Les points positifs : - Vous trouverez un mas rénové avec goût, dans lequel vous sentez que les choses ont été bien pensées. On se sent directement à l'aise. L'agencement des pièces est très bonne. Chacun a son espace. Des matériaux de rénovation jusqu'aux ustensiles de cuisine, tout est « haut de gamme ». Il n'y a vraiment rien à redire à ce niveau !! C'est assez luxueux ! - Le jardin est super agréable. Si vous aimez les photos, vous y verrez des oiseaux sympas, sinon, les transats vous combleront ! - Magali est ultra chaleureuse et très généreuse. Elle fait tout ce qu'il faut pour se mettre à la place des locataires. Elle fait des recherches pour vous aider à trouver telle ou telle activité. Bref, on sent qu'elle aime cet endroit et qu'elle investit les gens qui s'y trouvent. On n'est pas juste des clients. Ça se voit par plein de petites attentions qui font vraiment plaisir ! Donc un grand merci à elle !! Points « négatifs » : - … Les moustiques (évidemment!), mais ce mas est en pleine Camargue !! Il a donc les défauts de ses qualités. En contrepartie, c'est hyper calme et dépaysant. Concernant les moustiques, avec un peu d'organisation niveau horaires et de produits, on arrive à limiter les piqûres. - La Camargue est magnifique. Il suffit d'y être allé pour s'en convaincre. Par contre il ne faut pas rechigner à prendre la voiture pour faire les quelques kilomètres nécessaires aux activités ou aux plages. Le côté sauvage de ce site a ce prix : les activités sont éloignées. Des vélos sur le site, une table de ping-pong ou mieux (rêvons un peu) une piscine ou un jacuzzi seraient un vrai plus et rendraient cet endroit paradisiaque ! Noter famille recommande chaleureusement !! ##### Muriel B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ariel R. Jul 6, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiétude et délectation Comme disent les jeunes, on a kiffé grave. La maison et le jardin sont délectables, au calme et d'un confort rare. Spacieux, nos enfants (7 et 5 ans) voulaient juste qu'on reste tout le temps dans ce gite. La rénovation est tellement bien faite, que ça nous a donné des idées de décorations. Tout a été aménagé avec soin, de la déco à la literie. Un pur w-e plaisir. \_\_\_\_ This was a delightfull w-e. The house is beautifully renovated, with taste and warm colors. The kids xanted us to buy the house; this is a kinf od succesful test! Magali was a helpful guest, full of attention. Thanks and well done. ##### Ariel R.
