A lovely break in Velaux

Excellent Stay
Fantastic stay in a lovely quiet location. We were a bunch of old friends and used Mas Des Roche as our base for 2 weeks of the Rugby World Cup. The villa has easy driving access to Marseille, Aix En Provence and via the autoroute up to Avignon, Chateau Neuf de Pape and Toulouse. We loved coming back to the villa for some rest and relaxation. The entertaining spaces are perfect for big long lunches with friends. Being at the top of a valley and shaded by pine trees there was a lovely cool breeze. Plenty of rooms and space for privacy too. Anne Marie was a wonderfully host, very informative and helpful. Any issues we had over our stay were dealt with immediately. Would go back!

Disappointing for the price
A lovely property for a large group but mainly not very clean. We found out issues as the week went on, units in kitchen looked clean but inside doors had stains and finger marks on them. Shower drains full of hairs, grease and grime . Kitchen drawers had mice droppings in them which was unacceptable. We were also asked to look after their cat as the owners were going to their second home a 2 hr drive away!why wern’t We told about this? We were a group of 16 so what if someone had an allergy? Unfortunately we will not be returning

A lovely spot just outside of Marseille
We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Anne-Marie and Gabriel’s house. The location and amenities at the property were perfect for a large party for a hen do with lots of space and areas to enjoy including the boules pitch and we loved the outdoor kitchen and pool. Anne Marie was brilliant at communicating with us before the trip and very forthcoming with ways to help accommodate us including an early check in. Thank you Anne Marie and Gabriel! 5 stars!
