A peaceful retreat with a swimming pool

😊: A truly beautiful villa and an exceptional host. We stayed at the villa for a week-long retreat, and it could not have been a more perfect setting. There is a feeling, inside the villa, of being swept gently back in time into old Arles: stone, light, history, beauty, and quiet elegance all around you, while still being held in every modern comfort. The house is elegant, spacious, peaceful, and full of character, with so many thoughtful details throughout. It has the rare quality of feeling both luxurious and deeply welcoming, a place where people can gather, rest, eat together, write, talk, listen to music, read poetry, and simply feel at home. We had a private retreat chef with us, and the kitchen was absolutely wonderful: spacious, well-equipped, and a joy to use. The screening room was also perfect for our group, giving us a comfortable and atmospheric space to gather, watch, reflect, and deepen the experience together. The bedrooms were comfortable, the common spaces were beautiful, and the villa itself felt like the perfect container for Coming to Our Senses. We wrote, rested, shared meals, listened deeply, read poetry, and gathered for music in the garden. The whole house seemed to support exactly what we had hoped to create: a week of creativity, beauty, conversation, and reconnection. The location was also wonderful, close to the heart of Arles while still feeling like a private sanctuary. Guillaume was an outstanding host: kind, responsive, generous, and easy to communicate with from beginning to end. We are deeply grateful for the care, hospitality, and beauty of this place. It was a very special home for a very special week, and I would warmly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable stay in Arles..

We stayed one month; had a wonderful time. House was prepared for us and was exactly as described. Location in central Arles was wonderful. Modern kitchen was perfect, appeared nearly new. Highly recommend.

We stayed @ Pierre’s beautiful Arles home for 5 days in early august with our 2 year old and some family friends. We had an incredible time — the location of the house is steps from the coliseum as well as all the beautiful restaurants, shops and the market, yet the home with its beautiful garden and pool, spaces for gathering, very functional and clean kitchen, numerous bedrooms and bathrooms, and projector/screen for movie watching gave us much needed rest and retreat. In the sweltering hear the house was exceptionally cool with plenty of AC. Camille, the property manager, was attentive and sweet. Stay here!
