Cozy Country Splendor & Hilltop Views Above Aix-en-Pce

We had such a delightful family visit here that we cannot wait to return for a relaxing Aix vacation. You'll love the grounds, views, and swimming pool so much that you won't need to be inside before bedtime unless it is a chilly Aix evening. Inside is cozy, compact, and perfectly clean. Host family who live adjacent are utterly charming and delightful. Perched above the city you have great nearby strolls and amazing views of Aix below. It's a quick drive (or longer but enjoyable hike) into the city. If driving, Parc Bellegarde and Parc Pasteur offer reasonable parking rates since the city has pedestrianized. Marius Bakery nearby is magnifique! So, too, is this property - one of the best we've enjoyed in our many VRBO rentals. Warm thanks to our host family, we look forward to our next (longer!) stay with you.

Wonderful Provençal experiene

Our lovely hosts, Rachel & Jean, couldn’t have been more welcoming and we enjoyed our stay at our cottage. Location was perfect for us as we were visiting friends in the Luberon so easy access as well as being close to Aix where we could walk (30 minutes) or drive down to enjoy the town. Very restful property with lovely gardens & pool.

First holiday with our baby in Provence

We absolutely LOVED our stay with Rachel and Jean. They could not have been more welcoming or accommodating. Nothing was too big an ask and they were on hand at all times! The accommodation is lovely and perfect for a small family. The addition of Badger the golden retriever was a VERY welcome one in the mornings :) we would whole heartedly recommend this listing and hope to be back soon :D thank you both so much for making our first holiday with C such a memorable one x x

Fantastic hosts in a lovely home

Stayed for three nights in May 2023. We arrived late with a car sick baby and Rachel and Jean couldn't have been more welcoming, understanding and helpful. They immediately grabbed our cases and put on a wash for us (more than once!) The property is a short walk - 15 mins or so - into town and Aix itself is beautiful, plenty of bars, cafes and shops to keep you entertained. Rachel & Jean were attentive throughout and very helpful, and Badger (their lovely dog) helped look after our baby. Highly recommend!

Unsatisfactory

We booked 3 nights at this location. Rachel was very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately the property did not meet what we consider to be acceptable standard for accommodations. The white towels were grey, thin, and hard. When we looked at the mattress in the single bedroom as one does nowadays, the mattress had several stains. We expected better. The living area is tiny. You need a car here since the house is only accessible via an unlit long road. There is no doubt that Rachel is gracious and helpful in the extreme, but to us the conditions of the bedding, towels, and shower area were uninviting and unpleasant. We checked in around 7 pm, and left by 10 pm having to scramble for last minute accommodation. Unfortunately they have refused to give any refund.

Nice country urban getaway

The owners were welcoming, supportive and generous, a bottle of wine and rescue from our ill-fated search for food the first night. The yard and pool were great for lounging in the heat of the evening as the interior is not air conditioned. Windows and fans helped cool the unit down, but screens on the windows would have reduced the intrusion of bugs. Through constant use of gps we became able to navigate to downtown parking in Aix and to explore the region. The lavender was in full bloom on the Valensole plateau and the small towns in the region were well worth the visit.

Fabulous place to stay in Aix

This was a perfect place for a couple to stay. Private, but the owners, who are lovely, are available should you need anything. The grounds, with pool and tennis court (which we took full advantage of), are gorgeous. Convenient both to downtown Aix and to the highway. Would definitely stay there again.

Piece of Heaven in Aix

Had a wonderful stay at Rachel and Jean’s. The property is so beautiful and tranquil and very close to the centre of Aix. The hosts were so kind. On the second day there Rachel brought us over fresh chocolate croissants and a baguette. It was so nice to get to know them and their son Julienne. Would definitely love to come back!

Fabulous Stay!

Rachel and Jean are terrific hosts, very attentive and generous to their guests. When we arrived early in the evening, Jean immediately provided food for next morning's breakfast, and a bottle of Rose! The modest apartment is comfortable, clean and well-suited for a couple. The grounds and swimming pool are spectacular. We thoroughly enjoyed daily swims in the large, lovely pool. Thank you Rachel and Jean for making our stay in Aix so enjoyable. We highly recommend this place.

Truly a home away from home. Great people; great property; great location.

Rachel and Jean were warm, friendly, and inviting. The property was secure and well maintained. The rooms were clean and well maintained. A car with GPS is highly recommended because there is so much to do and see. The property is conveniently located so that highways are relatively easy to reach for day trips and stores are located nearby so that the refrigerator can be stocked with essentials.

Rachel and Jean were warm and welcoming hosts. We wish we could have stayed longer.

The apartment in the back of the house was perfect for us. Setting was beautiful and tranquil. Location was a great "jumping off" point. Hosts were extremely gracious, and very helpful to two frazzled jet lagged travelers. Only downside is that it is somewhat hard to find the first time. We would highly recommend the lovely house and hosts.

Most wonderful secluded haven

The house is secluded enough to relax and the grounds and pool are amazing. Easy walk to tow and super easy to get around by car. Rachel and Jean are the ideal hosts- warm and welcoming, lots of suggestions and always willing to put themselves out to help- whether to go shopping for groceries, sharing a bottle of wine in the evening or delivering fresh baguettes and croissants to surprise us. We couldn’t ask for any more!!!!

Just how I envisioned Provence to be

This was a perfect accommodation for our visit to Aix. The overall property is stunningly beautiful and the estate was built in the classic style of Provence. The outdoor surroundings are beautiful and the sun is always shining. The apartment is very well decorated with tons of French country character. Owners Rachel and Jean could not be more lovely and hospitable. The location is a 15 minute short walk into town and it was a nice balance to be staying at a beautiful country property yet so close to downtown Aix. We loved staying there and would definitely stay there again (and hope to on our next trip to Provence!).

An idyllic rural situation within walking distance of Aix-en-Provence.

On arrival at the house we were just absolutely bowled over by the beauty of the place. A cosy studio feel downstairs provides all that is necessary to cook and enjoy the odd bit of UK tv (Wimbledon!!!). Best of all though is the view of the lawn from the open door, leading down to a very inviting pool. The grounds are just beautiful - well looked after and the hosts, Rachel and Jean are just wonderful, live right next door in the main house and are always on hand to help with queries and even a trip to the local shop to get supplies if you're without a car. Upstairs the property opens out and the bedrooms are of a good size and exquisitely presented and utterly peaceful. Best to open the windows at night once the lights are off (to not attract insects) and let the cool air in. Makes for an easier night's sleep in July! The walk down to town is doable but certainly I would recommend a car if you want to explore the hill villages to the North. Well worth it. We covered almost 200km in one day and the drive was never a chore. A wonderful property - perfect for retreat after a busy day.
