A haven of calm on the outskirts of Arles at Pont de Crau (a bird watching centre and city of Arts), this modern detached house faces south-west, and the illuminated pool invites guests to dine al fresco in the covered, furnished pool house. The property is strategically situated within a varied landscapes, such as Les Alpilles (dominated by the town of Baux de Provence - famous for its limestone hills, from the top of which is an astounding panoramic view). Nearby, spread out among the vineyards and olive orchards, are pleasant Provençal villages: Fontvielle, Paradou, Maussane and St Rémy. Arlés is also a gateway to Saintes Maries-de-la-Mer and the Carmargue - an area exceptionally rich in plant and animal life (famous wild white horses, flamingos etc). The city boasts UNESCO world heritage listed monuments like the Roman amphitheatre (the Arena) where the Feria (bull games: Spanish corrida) form part of the local cultural traditions (organised in Easter and in September).
