Natural Paradise just outside of Aix
We loved this home, this land, this property, the neighbors who are families of the owner, and the view. We vowed to return again and again. A car is essential, the drive into Aix is about 15 minutes, the eggs are fresh every morning, the chickens did not wake us up, the neighbors were charming. There was one double bed in each bedroom, with three close together and one upstairs. We had such a special time lounging on the outdoor beds. Loved every moment of this truly special vacation.
Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022

quelles belles vacances !
Nous avons passé en famille d'inoubliables vacances dans cette maison pleine de charme située dans un cadre exceptionnel, à quelques minutes seulement du centre d'Aix. Découvrir le potager et le poulailler a été la "cerise sur le gâteau" qui a agi comme un aimant sur les enfants et permis à tous de se régaler ! Pour ne rien gâcher, les propriétaires se sont montrés très disponibles et adorables. A refaire dès que possible.

Excellent séjour sur la plateau de Bibémus
Propriété basée sur le plateau de Bibémus, dans un environnement complètement préservé mais pour autant à 3 km d'Aix. La maison est aménagée avec goût aussi bien à l'extérieur qu'à l'intérieur et la propriétaire des lieux est accommodante. Séjour parfait au calme au milieu de la garrigue et à deux pas de la Sainte Victoire. Situation idéale
