A house in the middle of the countryside

Lovely family home in a glorious location with a huge pool.

This house is a 30 minute drive to the town of Aix En Provence, and it’s in a lovely countryside area so if you want the peace of the country, it’s perfect. But there are problems with it. First, there’s a deep-down dirty in the kitchen and the bathrooms. It’s more than wiping down surfaces. It requires a deep clean. The beds are slight, old and on frames, so not comfortable. The bedding is a mish-mosh of old sheets, pillowcases and covers. The pillows were old, very soft and some covers were coming apart at the seams. Because they don’t have a dryer, the towels, which were hard to find, old and mismatched were ‘crusty’ from being hung out to dry. The ceiling had mysteries of spots and clumps, so you wondered what might fall down on you. The outdoor patio table and chairs were filthy so had to be cleaned before we could sit on them. And the ground space upswept and messy. The area around it wasn’t landscaped or cleaned up so weeds everywhere. Would have been lovely, once cleaned and minimal landscape, to have some patio lights above it so you don’t sit in the dark in the evenings. The pool is lovely, though cloudy when we arrived, told because of the pollen, but no landscaping around it, so we didn’t feel comfortable getting into or sitting around the pool. This property has so much potential with minimal work to make it a 5-star. We hope the owners fix it up; if it was, we’d recommend and return.

The property was completely clean, lovingly furnished. Spent most of the holidays in and around the house; also made a few racing-bike cycling tours or trips by car to Cannes, St. Tropez and Marseille. For sure a good location in the countryside especially also in the pandemic situation of 2020/21, being able to spend time just amongst the family/vacationists to relax, talk, read or play games. Very large pool and property are very well maintained and we had more than just the property when arriving but everything we needed to survive until we made our first way to the supermarket! We from our view absolutely recommend the property!

I cannot recommend enough staying here. We had a lovely time. The owners are great and take good care of their guests. The house is wonderful with lots of space, a pool, BBQ, ping png table, etc. And all this close to Aix and an easy day trip to Marseille or Avignon. A great experience

The house is comfortable and charming, and the location is ideal. The view on to the famous St Victoire mountain was my favorite bonus surprise. The property is very large and vegetated. Definitely a quiet and private experience. Taking walks around the property was very meditative. 5-6 people can comfortably enjoy this lovely country house which lacks in nothing. We cocked many delicious meals and enjoyed them on the picturesque patio. (Little tip: save your restaurant money as the restaurant food was nothing to write home about and prepare your own French meals. The produce, cheeses, breads, meats, and wine in the supermarkets are very good!). The clean and large pool is fantastic. It was nice to be able to do laundry and have a dishwasher (with all the meals we cooked ;). There was plenty of fire wood and we enjoyed the one or the other cozy fire in the beautiful fireplace. The drive to nearby Aix (15-20 min) is easy and the access to bakeries or supermarkets in the vicinity was about 10 min. Andre and Nicole were wonderful and responsive hosts. I can't wait to rent this gem of a house again soon and experience the magic that is Provence.

A beautiful and tasteful home with a perfect pool and gorgeous location. Owners are generous and always available. We have visited this house on two trips and plan to do it again in the future!

We had a wonderful week at Beaurecueil. The house and surrounds are beautiful and there is plenty of space to enjoy living inside and outside. The setting is simply spectacular if you like being immersed in nature, swimming in the pool and playing table tennis! André and Nicole were very friendly and helpful in every way. The house is tastefully decorated and everything we needed for cooking and relaxing was available. We will be back for sure! Thank you André and Nicole!

Although the rain spoiled the outside pleasure, the house itself gives enough conformt to stay over for a long time. Nice fully equipt kitchen, cosy bathrooms and sleeping rooms. The host was very helpfull. All together this was a delightfull stay, never to forget.

What a lovely house and great surroundings! The house was very clean, tastefully furbished and the kitchen was excellent equipped. The pool, the garden and terrace are all spacious - everything was there that makes a stay in a holiday home cosy and comfortable. It is very quiet, although Aix-en-Provence is only a 15 minutes drive. We also enjoyed hiking in the St. Victoire mountains. We are also very grateful for the flexibility and kind help Andre offered when we had to change our plans due to circumstances. Thanks again! We can definitely recommend the house and hope to come back some time.

We spent the best holiday week at this amazing house. Such a nice location, very calm, beautiful garden, big pool to swim. The view as amazing, the house lovely and very nice contact with the landlord. Highly recommended!
