Pleasant stay in strange times
We ended up staying in Miramas during the period when Covid was back on the rise, especially in the Marseille area, which made it a strange time to be there. One thing to know: Miramas-Le_Vieux is very much a tourist sight in itself, so social distancing can be tricky almost from outside the front door.
That said Herve went out of his way to make us comfortable, and also to be flexible on the touch and go nature of whether we were even coming. He is very friendly and helpful and I honestly felt he'd have helped out with anything we needed. The property is just as described, feels pretty spacious when you're there and is clearly very well cared for. The pool was great, if a little chilly at first, and the privacy and calms of the little courtyard was very welcome.
I would advise paying attention to the word 'nearby' in the description of the courtyard: we had missed this and thought we had our own outdoor space connected to the house. In fact it's a few meters away - not exactly inconvenient, but if you want to have breakfast outside in your PJs, be aware you need to carry it all down a (tiny, but public) street to do so.
All in all I'd recommend this place very much: in normal times I think it would be a lovely retreat.
