Villa with Fantastic views and superb Pool
Lovely villa with two double bedrooms and a third child's room in the hills outside Aix en Provence, in a secluded location with amazing views over the pine forests and a fabulous swimming pool (really good size and salt based rather than chlorine). It is close to Aix (about 15 mins) and also has some very good restaurants close by (by car) if you don't wish to venture in to town.
Natalia the owner, was in contact before the visit which is helpful and provided help and tips, plus good information on how to reach the villa.
This is the first time we have rented somewhere that was not a pure holiday rental, but rather this was the house of the owners, so it was a little usual for us, but a benefit was the house is well appointed and decorated to much higher standard with many interesting features not usual found in a more commercial rental property.
We were checked in by a property manager, who showed us everything in the Villa, while she didn't speak English she did a really good job and using Google translate was able to explain everything.
It was very hot while we were there, and there is not any air conditioning in the main house. The description mentioned on the floor air conditioning where as this is in the studio apartment downstairs (which we didn't have access to). However floor fans were provided, and with the shutters closed during the day the house remained cool despite +35c outside so this was not a problem.
Overall we had a very enjoyable stay in a lovely property in a great location, and spent a great deal of time cooling off in the pool.
