Sehr zu empfehlen

Sehr schöne, gut ausgestattete Ferienwohnung über zwei Etagen. Die Vermieterin war sehr freundlich und immer hilfsbereit. Schöner sauberer Pool. Leider während unseres Aufenthalts viele Mücken (Fenster und Türen der Wohnung mit Mückengittern).

Drei angenehme Wochen im Juni

Wir haben in der Domaine Laforest im Juni drei sehr angenehme Wochen verbracht. Das Anwesen ist sehr gepflegt und sicher, außerdem nicht weit vom kleinen Ortskern von Fontvieille, aber Auto erforderlich. Auch der Pool ist schön groß und sauber. Frau Sylvie kümmert sich umgehend, zuverlässig und effizient um etwaige Problemchen. Ebenso wie unsere Nachbarn kommen wir wahrscheinlich wieder.

Entspannte Tage in der Provence

Es waren 7 wunderschöne entspannte Tage. Die Lage war hervorragend für Ausflüge in die Umgebung. Man konnte aber auch vor Ort relaxen oder schöne Wanderungen mit dem Hund unternehmen. Danke auch an Sylvie für die herzliche Begrüßung.

Super gîte

Nous avons passé une superbe semaine en Camargue dans le gîte de Sylvie. Très bon accueil et personne très agréable. Le gîte est très bien équipé, très propre et très bien situé. Cadre idyllique, au calme et idéal pour faire des randonnées en partant du gîte. Très belle piscine, que nous n'avons malheureusement pas pu profiter car beaucoup de vent et froid durant notre semaine de vacances. Fontvielle est idéal pour silloner la Camargue. Nous avons visiter le Grau du Roi, Aigues Mortes, Saint Laurent d'Aigouze (pour les fan de ITC), les Baux de provence, Arles.... Adresse à retenir, nous reviendrons !

Wunderbare Auszeit zum Jahreswechsel

Wir haben mit unserem Hund eine wunderbare Zeit zum Jahreswechsel 23/24 in Fontvieille verbracht. Die Unterkunft liegt sehr ruhig aber doch so zentral, dass Ausflugsziele wie die Alpillen, Arles und die Camargue in kürzester Zeit zu erreichen sind. Wir kommen gerne wieder

sehr empfehlenswert

Hinweis für Gehbehinderte: Die Treppe im Appartment Nr. 3 zu den Schlafzimmern, zu Bad und Toilette macht eine relativ enge 180°-Biegung. Die Zufahrt von der Landstraße zum Grundstück hat vier asphaltgraue Betonschweller, die nicht bei jedem Licht gut zu erkennen sind.

Sehr schöne, gepflegte und ruhig gelegene Wohnanlage mit 5 nebeneinander liegenden Wohneinheiten. Wunderbarer Blick in einen großen, mit alten Platanen bestandenen Garten. Sehr gepflegter und sauberer Pool-Bererich. Wohnungen bieten ausreichend Platz für 2-4 Personen; großzügiger, mit guten Möbeln ausgestatteter Wohn-Essbereich, modernes Bad, gut ausgestattete Küche, Schlafzimmer mit ausreichend Schrankplatz und guten Betten.

About the host

Hosted by Sylvie Berard

Host profile image
My grandparents purchased this property in 1955. After an experience of around 10 years in the hotel industry, I started to work in agriculture and opened my gîtes in 1995.
I am very attached to this farmhouse, to its history

Why they chose this property

This estate purchased by my grandparents is the result of many years of hard work and passion
I wanted to work in the hotel industry and be able to maintain this property that I love so much
The gîtes appeared to me as an evident aim.

What makes this property unique

Thanks to our hospitality experience, we decided to offer a different approach to tourism: closer to our guests and more convivial.
The property is ideally located between the Provence and the Camargue
Gîtes are quiet and very comfortable with nice services, quality furniture and irreproachable cleanliness.
Each year we improve the quality of each gîte and we do our best to ensure an excellent stay in Provence to our guests.
