About this house rental

This 18th-century country house enjoys an exceptional location, facing due south and sheltered from the mistral, just 5 minutes from the center of Aix-en-Provence and right in the heart of the “Grand Site de la Sainte Victoire” protected area.

Between the hustle and bustle of the historic city—with its markets, Cours Mirabeau, bars, and restaurants—and the countryside so often depicted by Cézanne, a stay in this peaceful home is sure to rejuvenate you.

A 220 m² country house on 3,000 m² of enclosed property. Large south-facing pool (15 ml x 6 ml, double-secured with a roller shutter and barriers), overlooking the Bibémus Forest.

House featuring 5 bedrooms—including one on the first floor opening directly onto the garden—2 full bathrooms, 2 half-baths, a living room with a fireplace, a dining room, a TV lounge with a fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, beautiful south-facing terraces, terraced lawns, and a parking space.

Amenities: Sleeps 10, with the option for one additional bed, a crib, high-speed fiber-optic internet, HD TV, and a hi-fi system.

Security: EPS alarm system connected to a monitoring center, smoke detectors.

Amenities: Ping-pong table, plancha grill and barbecue, outdoor furniture and lounge set, hammock, pool mats, and a treehouse for children.

Highlights: Right next to shops (bakery, butcher, newsstand, pharmacy…), a small Provençal market, and an Intermarché supermarket.

A prime spot for walks and hikes, with walking and mountain biking trails accessible from the house.
Things to see in the region: Museums in Aix-en-Provence, the Carrières de Lumière in Les Baux-de-Provence, Arles, Avignon, the Luberon, Marseille with its culture and calanques…
The coast is a 30–40-minute drive away (La Ciotat, Cassis, Bandol, Sanary) and 1 hour and 30 minutes from Saint-Tropez.

My family of five had a wonderful fortnight in this lovely, provencal home. 10min drive from the centre of Aix, great for some peace and quiet. We took a number of drives to nearby towns and enjoyed returning to the house in the afternoon. The house is extremely well equipped and feels very homely. Marie was an extremely accommodating host. Thank you for having us, we all absolutely loved it!

Set in a very attractive, wooded valley, there are really magnificent , wide-open views from the bedrooms, terrace and swimming pool. Although the property is on the edge of Aix, it feels secluded and rural. The house itself has a lot of character: it is solid and well designed, its well-proportioned , south-facing façade a handsome backdrop to the spacious and airy main terrace where we took most of our meals. Inside, the house feels like a much-loved family home. The décor is stylish and individual. The generous interior spaces are furnished comfortably and attractively. We found the kitchen well equipped and easy to use – Marie described it as typically Provençal. Had we eaten inside, the dining room is large with a whopping table. The grounds are beautifully cared for by a friendly and helpful gardener. The garden is tiered on several levels divided into adjoining spaces with plenty of well-kept lawn and several seating areas offering differing degrees of sun and shade– there’s complete privacy from adjoining properties. The garden is illuminated at night – perfect for enjoying long, warm evenings. The swimming pool is superb and very well maintained. The owners are friendly and charming, briefing us in full before leaving us to get on with our holiday. They were responsive to our queries; the printed handbook was very helpful. Marie and Jean Michel have obviously given a great deal of thought to creating a beautiful holiday home. There was a generous supply of towels for the pool and bathrooms, as well as toilet rolls and kitchen and bathroom essentials. There is no shortage of power points for mobiles and laptops. Cleanliness was beyond reproach. There is a useful medium-sized Intermarché supermarket a couple of kilometres away and we found an excellent Lidl reasonably close by. Our family group of seven adults spent an extremely happy week here. The property would also be brilliant for a family with young children. To us, it felt like a little piece of paradise.
