Le Clos de Calas, bed and breakfast with a pool in Provence
Le Clos de Calas is a bed and breakfast in Mollégès, in Provence, set in a landscaped garden with a seasonal pool. Each room has its own private terrace and several have a small kitchen corner. I would choose it for a couple or friends who want quiet, with Avignon and the Alpilles within easy driving distance.

Where Le Clos de Calas is and how to get there
Le Clos de Calas is a bed and breakfast in Mollégès, a village in Provence, on the Chemin du Mas Créma. Guests describe it as very well placed in the Alpilles for seeing a great deal, and two steps from the village centre.
The listing gives Avignon as the reference point, with the Parc des expositions about fifteen kilometres away and Avignon-Centre station about twenty. In the countryside, a car is the simplest way to explore the region, and some guests also mention a motorbike for their rides.
What the rooms are like
At Le Clos de Calas, each room is different and has a name, such as the Ventoux or the Luberon room in the reviews. They are air-conditioned, with a flat-screen television, a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, and above all a private terrace for each one.
Guests talk about large, clean and well decorated rooms, with big bathrooms. Several mention a large comfortable bed, a sitting area and a small kitchen corner with fridge, sink and crockery.
- A kitchen corner in some rooms, with sink and small fridge. According to one guest, one room had no hob, so ask what is provided.
- Linen and towels are available for an extra charge, according to the listing.
- The garden and pool with sunloungers and parasols, in the warm season.
Breakfast and the setting
Breakfast is one of the highlights at Le Clos de Calas. It is described as generous and prettily served on a tray, with fresh fruit, pastries and orange juice. You can have it on your terrace facing the pool or, if you prefer, in the shared room.
The landscaped garden and seasonal pool give the place its holiday feel. Guests talk of a calm, soothing spot where you feel at home, and some return year after year.
What guests say
The Google rating is 4.9 out of 5, from around forty reviews. What comes up most is the owners' welcome, described as caring, attentive and very available. Then come cleanliness, calm and the quality of breakfast.
I have seen no criticism in the reviews I read. The only reservations concern practical details, such as kitchen equipment that varies from one room to another. Several reviews are also older, so it is worth checking that the current description matches what you want.
| What guests like | What to know |
|---|---|
| Caring, available hosts | Linen and towels cost extra |
| Private terrace and pool | The pool is seasonal |
| Large, clean and varied rooms | Kitchen equipment varies by room |
| Calm and a good base for sightseeing | A car is recommended |
What to know before booking
A few points to check before booking at Le Clos de Calas, so you pick the right room.
- Choose your room. They are not identical, so it is worth asking which one suits your stay.
- Linen at extra cost. Check what is included and what is charged on top.
- The season. To enjoy the garden and pool, aim for the warm months.
- Noise. I have not read anything about this, but in the quiet countryside the days start early.
Who it suits and what to do nearby
I would choose Le Clos de Calas for a couple or friends who want a quiet holiday, with a terrace of their own and the pool close by. It is also a good base for a business trip, as some guests say. For a very lively stay or a walkable town centre, there are better options.
From Mollégès, Avignon and the sights around it are easy to visit, and the Alpilles are very close. It is a region to discover without rushing, mixing walks, meals outside and a dip in the pool on your return.
