Overview

Just minutes from the center of Aix, it is located near a wealth of vineyards in the countryside, yet is also close enough to the motorway to make touring easy. The villa is decorated in an extremely elegant style with antiques and attractive upholstered furnishing both inside and out. Lovely gardens surround the house with many pots of flowering plants and rose beds. There are eight bedrooms (including a children's dormitory), five bathrooms, tennis court, and a swimming pool.

At the entrance level, is located a dressing/storage space with lots of hanging space, hats, golf clubs and equipment you may need. Also a magnificent powder room, not to be missed, with its hand made wall drawings/mouldings of oak trees and a splendid foot-operated water system.

A few steps down will lead you to:

  • The amazing and spacious Lounge room with its hand painted walls, comfortable sofas and armchairs, a stone fireplace, a Florentine window and French doors opening to the terrace
  • A comfortable dinning room which seats 14 guests
  • A television room
  • A beautiful large and very functional kitchen with a table for 8. The kitchen also opens to the terrace
  • The laundry room and extra storage/fridge.

A lighted stone staircase leads you to the seven bedrooms, distributed on four half-levels.
