We had an incredible stay in Miramas, the apartment is located in a medieval town about halfway up the hill; nearby are some great crêperies that we went back to many times. The balcony was the highlight of the apartment, with an incredible view over the water and every sunset. Gabriella was a gracious host and always available to answer questions, she also was quick to say hello every time we saw her. With four people the apartment was a bit cramped but I would stay here again in a heartbeat if I was planning another vacation in Provence.
Cher Michel
Thank you for a wonderful stay in your charming house in Miramas le vieux! We loved sitting on your patio with fantastic views of the surrounding landscape & l’Etang de Berre. Visits from Romy, the affectionate black kitty, were an added pleasure for us! The quaint village is busy with foot traffic for the ice cream shops but otherwise very very quiet. The apt. is well stocked with a perfect kitchen, large walk in shower & more great views. M le vieux is centrally
located for various outings in Provence & the Camargue. We highly recommend a relaxing stay at Michel’s! Merci beaucoup! Rebecca & Mike, Suisse
I didn’t know much about Miramas-Le Vieux, so I was confused about directions to the apartment at first. But once we got there, the place was great. Gabriella met us at the entrance to the village and brought us to the apartment on a steep hill of cobblestones overlooking a huge lagoon. It was great to have our own parking spot. The apartment was clean and everything we needed was provided. Just note, the big terrace is shared with the main house, and the owners do have cats. They’re not allowed in the apartment, but if you have more sensitive allergies, they could affect you. Very helpful hosts and a special place to stay!
Fabulous views from light and airy apartment located in mediaeval village
My husband and I spent 3 months over summer at Gabriella and Michel’s apartment in Miramas le Vieux, a mediaeval village located at the northern tip of the large Étang de Berre in the south of France. The apartment is light and airy and true to the photos, with an independent and secure entrance via a huge, private terrace. Gabriella and Michel are wonderful hosts. They respond to requests very quickly but are respectful of privacy. The apartment is well supplied for a short or long stay and has the bonus of a private parking spot next to the apartment within the village. Both the apartment and the terrace have amazing views over the Étang de Berre and the countryside, while the terrace is the perfect spot for daytime and evening meals, entertaining or just relaxing. We had a lovely time; thank you Gabriella and Michel!

Property Miramas le Vieux
we were disappointed by this property and only stayed one night of the 7 booked. we did not feel it was cleaned to a good standard. it felt old and tired compared to the pictures. we did not expect to be upstairs from the owners or that we would be sharing the terrace. the priate parking was behind the owners car in a tight space on a steep uphill. there was no mention in the description that there were 3 cats on the premises. the check in process was strange as we had to meet the owner in a car park by some recycling bins to then get access to the village through the barrier. we noted other favourable reviews but we were disapointed
Wir haben den Aufenthalt genossen. Viele Ziele in der Nähe. Marseille, Camargue, Pont du Gard, Avignon. Die Küchenausstattung und die Terassenliegen brauchen mal eine Überprüfung.
Très bel accueil des propriétaires. Emplacement exceptionnel. Logement très bien équipé et confortable. Je recommande sans hésitation .

Très pittoresque
Wir waren nur drei Nächte dort, haben den Aufenthalt aber sehr genossen. Es ist kein Sternehotel, aber die Aussicht am Morgen und das steinerne Dorf am Abend sind einfach umwerfend.
Gabriella spricht Deutsch, Englisch, Italienisch und natürlich französisch.
Le logement est extrêmement bien situé avec une très belle vue sur l’étang de berre.
Les propriétaires sont très sympa et disponibles à tout moment.
Je recommande
The positive reviews are all correct here, we absolutely loved our stay. Nice location for day trips, easy drive to the beaches of the Mediterranean, or to Arles. But most of all we enjoyed relaxing and reading with the breeze of the étang flowing through the windows. The terrace is amazing and we enjoyed having drinks and playing cards while soaking in the view.
We spent a quiet time around New Year in the apartment and enjoyed it very much. It is well equipped and comfortable. The ancient village on the mountain is very serene, and the view of the Berre l'Etang is marvellous. Very kind hosts!
Accueil très chaleureux, vue magnifique sur l'étang de berre, terrasse agréable. Village médiéval très joli avec des restaurants mais aucun commerce d'alimentation...
A fantastic apartment - spotlessly clean, very well equipped and comfortable. There is a wonderful and large terrace with amazing views over the village and surrounding countryside. Lots to see and do in the area - close up Arles and other lovely towns, plus the Camargue. A very friendly and helpful host - many thanks. Highly recommended.
Accueil chaleureux lieux exceptionnel vue magnifique étang de Berre
Charmant appartement très bien équipé vue à coupé le souffle sur l'étang de berre magnifique terrasse et surtout des hôtes très gentils et discret toujours à votre écoute et disponibles. Merci Gabriella et Michel
Äußerst herzlicher, persönlicher Empfang mit Erklärung zum Objekt. Unterkunft mit grandioser Aussicht auf dem Etang & mit liebevollen Details, wie auch großzügiger Ausstattung. Es ist alles vorhanden.
Das sehr kleine Dorf bietet 3 Restaurants und 2 Eisdielen, jedoch keinen Lebensmittel-Laden. Man deckt sich lieber vorher in Miramas ein. Danke für den tollen Tip für an den Strand. Sehr schöne Umgebung. Vielen Dank an Gabriella für die tollen Tage.
Nous avons pris cette location pour profiter en 1er lieu de la terrasse car nous connaissions très bien la région.
On a pu recevoir nos amis sur la grande terrasse abritée toujours ventée avec des rideaux si besoin en fin d'après midi.
Les propriétaires qui sont sur place sont charmants et discrets.
Le gros plus : le parking à proximité de la location.
Manque plus que le jaccuzi !
Nous reviendrons sans hésitation en famille pour revoir nos amis.
What first strikes you on arrival is that the view from the huge veranda is better than the pictures. Our hosts Gabriella and Michel were very helpful and friendly.
The apartment is very spacious, open plan kitchen, lounge, diner, separate bedroom and bathroom with a very good shower, great for the two of us and our dog.
The property is in the middle of Mirmas le Vieux ideal for local restaurants and bars, also perfectly placed to explore the area around the lake 'Etang de Berre'. We particularly liked Salon de Provence, there are lots of pretty small towns with historic interest and plenty of restaurants just remember lunch is noon to 2.30pm and dinner 7.00pm to 9.30pm in a lot of places.
This nice apartment is situated in a beautiful historic little village. A central location to make several day trips. Gabriella is a very friendly, relaxed and helpful host. Everything you need is available. The view from the terrace is fantastic, overlooking the lake that is great for a swim. We spend 10 days here and enjoyed our stay very much.
