Large contemporary villa with heated pool 10 min from Aix en Provence

Close to ecotours, cycling, and more, this smoke-free vacation home brings it all within reach. Thanks to the convenient onsite parking, you can either leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 11-minute walk to Pole d'Activites d'Aix en Provence, or easily tackle the quick 7-minute drive to Golf La Cabre d'Or.

Spend a day at the nearby beach, relax by the heated pool, or sip a drink in the garden of this 2153-sq-ft vacation home, which also features a deck or patio. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

This 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom rental features a living room, a dining area, and a BBQ grill. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
