Bastide Provençale in the city of Aix en Provence in a buccolic setting

We were very happy with this property. It is private and could spend our time very independently, but also had the benefit of a private swimming pool to cool off at the end of busy days. It is situated on the outskirts of town, but about 12 minute drive from central Aix. A few stores are walkable for essential purchases. Access to highways closeby and easy access to regional tourist locations, e.g. Avignon, Rhône Valley history and wine tastings. Other Southern France coastal attractions also very reachable within the hour. Different, even interesting layout inside the home, very comfortable with cooking, refrigeration, laundry capabilities. Loved this trip. Would certainly do this the same way again. Thank-you Alain and Alexandra for your generous hospitality.

Alain’s property was exactly as pictured + described. We found it to be very comfortable, immaculately clean, and in a great location. The pool was an added benefit, and very enjoyable on hot August afternoons! Alain and Alexandra were really lovely hosts too. Definitely recommend this rental!

We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was perfect. Thank you Alain for being a wonderful host! It is an ideal location to spend time in Aix-en-Provence and the surrounding areas. We drove into town and we’re able to find parking. Although we could not park directly at the house, the parking down some steps was only 1 minute walk away. The house is very pretty and the pool is fantastic - we loved our stay. Thank you!

Minutes away from everything you want in Aix En Provence, this idyllic private setting is the perfect home base for exploring the region. Less than. An hour to anywhere we wanted to go, with everything we needed and more. The pool was a special treat. Many thanks for the hospitality and sharing your lovely part of the world, we miss it already!

What a charming space for taking in the bounty of the region! Proximity to our daily destinations was a key driver, but I cannot over-emphasize how wonderful it was to have a pool for afternoon dips during the heatwave, as well as air conditioning for summer nights. The patio in the garden was perfect for a bottle of wine or a coffee while planning the next day’s itinerary. Simply a perfect setup for a visit, with a gracious host. Highly recommended.

Best place to be in Aix! 30 minutes walking distance, 10 minutes by bicycle. Alain was all the time supporting us. He is the most friendly host, we have ever had! Merci Alain, we’ll be back :-)

Alain Pierre was an amazing host and really took care of us. It was clean and he was attentive when we had any questions. What you see in the pictures is very much what you get. The pool was very nice and his property very clean with more than enough supplies (hairdryer, pots, pans, etc) all in working order. I would definitely stay again!

We are a recently semi-retired couple travelling around England France Spain Portugal and this property very much suited our needs. It was exactly as advertised, Alain Pierre was courteous and available if needed and there were no problems at all. In Aix-En-Provence the apartment is in a non-built up area and although this meant it lacked the village / rustic atmosphere some might seek, it was a very quite avenue with drinks in the garden while having a swim in the pool ever afternoon and completely catered for our needs. Its position made it a very convenient stepping off point for day trips by car deeper into the countryside as well as visiting Cannes, Nice, St Tropez, Montpelier and Marseilles on day excursions all of which we did. We mostly self catered but easily visited Aix restaurant area a few times with good advice from Alain. Very happy to recommend this property

We spent 10 days in this beautiful house. It is located a little outside of Aix (25 minutes to the center of the city) in a calm neibourhood. A bakery is a few minutes down the hill, the supermarket is a little farther away. The interior of the house is modern and everything is clean and in order. On the terrace you can enjoy your breakfasts and the pool and its surroundings is perfect for a calm afternoon or to cool down after the day! Alain Pierre is really nice and helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend it any time!

The location we stayed for nine days was one of the most perfect, modern and comfortable ones we have ever booked: we highly recommend this wonderful house, the lovely garden and the fantastic pool to everyone who likes to visit Aix and stay in a calm, romantic nature place. Nathalie and Alain-Pierre were amazing hosts. We would really love to return one day. Best wishes from Germany.
