Extremely comfortable and well appointed gîte in the hills above Aix-en-Provence. Perfect for couples or young families.

We liked everything. No complaints at all

Small self contained cottage located in a large garden of a classic maison Provençale. It is clean, modern and very well equipped. There is ample storage space in cupboards and on shelves. Excellent wifi. The large terrasse is well furnished and a useful addition to the indoor space, except in the hot western sun of summer afternoons / early evenings. Fortunately there are good French roller-shutters to prevent the inside from getting excessively hot. Located approx 15 min drive north of Aix and not far from a great fresh food shop (Jardin de Sens) and a great seafood shop (Paro). The information booklet provided is comprehensive, except for information about supermarkets and fresh food shopping. If you would like a table d’hôtes meal to socialise with your hosts make sure to specify that very clearly, or you will just get the meal delivered to your cottage (which for us was a disappointing misunderstanding).

The property was perfect for our family. Plenty of space and the pool was fantastic. The location was perfect really easy to access 25mins from the airport and only a short drive to the main centre of Aix en Provence. Plenty of shops, restaurants and bakeries in the area. We even needed to iron clothes for a wedding and the host were good enough to go out and buy a brand new ironing equipment for us to use.

I can’t thing of one thing I’d change.

Everything was fabulous for our little family

Easy going relaxed . Safe and secure surroundings . Car parking direct next to villa. Pool clean and safe. Hosts freindly without being always around, there if you needed them.Peaceful but within driving distance of main city and local villages.
