Beyond a canopy of cypress and fig trees, Paradis Bohème reveals itself as a charming Provençal mas set in the Camargue countryside close to Arles. This one-hectare estate, private and not overlooked, offers a rare blend of rural character and bohemian flair, with a vintage roulotte adding a whimsical touch beneath the shade of the trees.

At the centre of the grounds, a vast salt-water swimming pool invites refreshing dips beneath the Provençal sun, surrounded by loungers and parasols whilst the pool house comes fully equipped with a bar, barbecue, sink, shower and WC. Meanwhile, the covered terrace next to the dining room makes al-fresco meals a daily delight and there’s a gorgeous outdoor lounge for convivial evenings with good local wine.

Step inside to discover the characterful living space where traditional features meet modern comfort. The ground floor offers a generous dining area leading to the terrace, a cathedral-ceilinged salon with fireplace and piano, a cosy TV lounge and a fully fitted stylish kitchen. A ground-floor double bedroom with its own shower room adds convenience.

Upstairs, a quirky mezzanine reading nook leads to four attractive bedrooms, including a spacious master double with a freestanding bath and Italian shower, alongside three further doubles with queen-size beds and a shared bathroom. Air conditioning ensures a cool, restful stay in summer months.

Less than a 10-minute drive from Arles’s historic Roman amphitheatre and cultural treasures, Paradis Bohème is perfectly positioned to explore Provence’s rich heritage. Stroll through bustling local markets, sample regional cuisine in nearby bistros, or head south to the untamed beauty of the Camargue with its salt flats, wild horses and flamingos. Les Alpilles and their postcard-worthy hilltop villages are also within easy reach.

Whether sharing Provençal lunches with friends or retreating with family for quiet contemplation, Paradis Bohème promises a unique French escape steeped in charm and comfort. 

• Families are welcomed at Paradis Bohème, however we do ask you to note that careful supervision is needed upstairs due to the striking mezzanine-style reading area overlooking the living room below (with horizontal railings).
