Amid the gentle rhythms of Provençal farmland, Maison Nounou offers a rustic abode rich in character and charm. Part of a calm agricultural domaine just outside Arles, this welcoming home brings together traditional craftsmanship and laid-back comfort, with terracotta tiles, original wood beams and a delightfully relaxed atmosphere throughout.
The heart of the house is its expansive open-plan living and dining space, where a wood-burning stove and library invite slow mornings and cosy evenings. Double doors lead to a vast covered terrace, where long lunches turn into sunset aperitifs accompanied by good local wine. A few steps away, the rugged garden awaits where the pool glistens beneath Provençal skies and the barbecue sets the tone for sociable, alfresco evenings.
Back inside, a separate snug with a fireplace and sofa-beds offers a flexible corner for quiet reading, while the open-plan kitchen is well-equipped for relaxed holiday cooking. Meanwhile, both bedrooms are full of warmth and charm, with soft lighting, textured fabrics and handpicked details. A ground-floor double is served by a traditional bathroom, while upstairs, a pretty bedroom with desk and in-room bathtub is reached by a striking open-sided staircase.
Surrounded by open fields, Maison Nounou enjoys an authentic setting in the Camargue region. Just 6km away lies the storied city of Arles, where Roman ruins, open-air cafés and contemporary art create a vibrant cultural mosaic. Days out might take you to the wild wetlands of the Camargue, the seaside charm of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer or the rocky beauty of Les Alpilles and Les Baux-de-Provence. With Nîmes also within easy reach, the region’s history and natural drama unfold all around you.
For those in search of a slow-paced escape with a sense of place and soul, Maison Nounou is a charming Provençal retreat.
