2 guest rooms in a bastide set in a large wooded park with a swimming pool; sleeps 6

This property is not a traditional VRBO - you are renting two bedrooms / two bathrooms and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen (along with access to the pool and a daily traditional French breakfast). The owner of the property lives on site in the other section of the home and prepares the breakfast each morning (which was fantastic). The property is located about 30 minutes from Cassis and about 1 hour from the lavender fields of Provence or 90 minutes from the Verdon Gorge; access is fine even though the roads are very narrow compared to American standards. The pool was warm and deep, great fun for our younger children.

We enjoyed this property with my family of 6 (4 kids). One thing that's important is that the owners live in the home, and you are renting out two rooms, the pool, and an outdoor kitchen. The owners are just separated by a door. No big deal for us, but some people might not like that so I'm mentioning it. The pool and outdoor kitchen area are great! Our kids loved the pool and it was nice cooking dinner while they played. The property is located in a rural area, but does have a grocery store about 10min away by car. Internet is included, but very slow.

Wir können die Unterkunft zu 100% weiterempfehlen! Wir haben 16 wunderbar entspannte Tage in dieser typisch provenzalischen, sehr sauberen und geschmackvoll eingerichteten Unterkunft verbracht. Wir hatten beide Doppelzimmer (jeweils mit Bad/WC) gebucht und konnten die praktische Outdoorküche am Pool (voll ausgestattet) für uns nutzen. Auch unser Hund war willkommen und konnte sich auf dem grossen, eingezäunten Grundstück mit tollen Olivenbäumen und duftender Minze frei bewegen. Idealer Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge z.B. nach Marseille und in die Calanques, zum Markt von Aix oder für Wanderungen im Sainte Baume-Massif. (Fahrtzeit jeweils ca. 25-30 Minuten). Auch Arles und die Camargue sind erreichbar. Morgens wurden wir mit einem leckeren Frühstück mit selbstgemachten Marmeladen verwöhnt. Wir durften Feigenund Zucchini frisch aus dem Garten kosten. Lucia und Michel sind zwei wirklich nette, zuvorkommende und diskrete Gastgeber. Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt!

The road to arrive at the property is a bit narrow for American taste however once you arrive it is worth the drive. The rooms were clean with a nice remote cabana with a refrigerator, stove top, microwave, and sink. Rooms were very clean with nice bathrooms. The owner was great to work with even tough we did not speak French. She had a nice continental breakfast each morning and the pool was great to have. 30 minutes to Cassis, Marsalis, and Aix-en-Provence. Had a great dinner at La Origan in town. We enjoyed the peace and quite of this location. Only issue we had was the beds. A bit hard for our taste. We would recommend this location. Had a great time.

We have never been to France before, other than a short city break in Paris, but our stay at this property really made us fall in love with the country and the people. Communication with the host prior to arrival was excellent, and they were always quick to respond to any queries. On arrival we were greeted and shown around the accommodation. They were very welcoming, and made us feel at home. The accommodation was very clean and well appointed, with modern bathrooms and even a pool house that we could use for lunches. The breakfast each morning was something we all looked forward to, fresh breads and croissants with homemade jams. Despite my limited grasp of French, we were able to communicate well with the hosts, and they made every effort to assist. The accommodation is ideally situated for visiting the beautiful resort of Cassis and the excellent beaches of La Ciotat, but it is also close enough to the picturesque town of Auriol for trips to the market or boulangerie! In summary, we have been well and truly won over by France, thanks to this property and the wonderful hosts. If you are considering booking, I would wholeheartedly encourage you to do so. We would definitely book another stay at this property. Merci bien Lucia et Michel!
