Our house is a Bastide (Noble house from the XVIIe century), surrounded by gardens and woods, two miles away from the historic center of Aix en Provence. You'll benefit from an astonishing view, enjoying the terrasse under the centuries old trees, and swimming in the rather big pool.

The main house is 350 m2 and we also have an old stable (150 m2) completely rebuilt in 2010 with three bedrooms (and their bathrooms) and a comfortable family room. We have cable TV at different parts of the house.
