Sublime mas provençal de caractère rénové avec une grande piscine

We just spent a fantastic week in the mas at St Etienne du Gres. The property is very spacious with 9 bedrooms, each of them with AC and most of them with an individual bathroom, which was perfect for our group of 13 adults. There are 2 kitchens with many utensils (the coffee machine was amazing), dishwashers, large fridges. The house offers many options in terms of entertainment ("boules de petanque", foosball, pingpong table, various TVs with streaming from Netflix), etc... There is also a tennis club nearby, which we used several times during our stay. The swimming pool is large, very clean with several comfortable chaise lounge around it. There is a very nice bike path that passes nearby and is easily accessible from the property (a good way to get to St Remy without having to take a car). Overall, we found that the description of the property was very accurate.The concierge team in charge of the check-in and check-out process was very friendly, professional and responsive when we had questions during the week. The house was very well prepared (clean and welcoming) for our arrival. Excellent quality of bedding. St Etienne du Gres is a small village with a very nice bakery, a butcher, a small (but very knowledgeable) wine & liquor store and a cafe. There is a large grocery store (Intermarche) in the direction of Beaucaire where you can buy groceries for the week. We spent a day in Camargue (a must see!).Everyone in our group enjoyed the stay. Thank you Christophe.

Very mixed. Big house, lovely pool, well appointed kitchen, nice locale. However, the house manager was very contentious from the start, not very responsive, and definitely not interested in making our stay comfortable (no toilet paper or soap in the entire house when we arrived after a trans Atlantic flight, some dirty towels and argued about giving us more, lots of threats of additional charges, etc). She accused us of breaking a sun umbrella upon checkout that was broken when we arrived. Luckily we happened to capture a photo of it broken on our first day- and she never apologized! The listing says it sleeps 18-19 but that is not adults. We were 12 and it wasn’t ideal (ie grown adults sharing a room or needing to climb a ladder to get in bed). The bedrooms are nicely air conditioned, but the living areas are not, despite the description. When the bugs come out after dark, you can’t open the windows, and the house is very stuffy. Also, a simple fan in the kitchen would be ideal. This house could be great with a more welcoming staff and a few small changes.

We have a wonderful time in the villa. We were 4 families, 17 people. Perfect for us. Good equipment on the two kitchens. Big garden, big pool, enough chairs outside, good communication with the Christoph. We would love to come back.
