Set on the grounds of a lovely 18th century bastide, 2 kilometers from the city center of Aix-en-Provence, is this beautifully-restored pigeonnier retaining many original features but, alas, no pigeons! On the grounds there is a swimming pool and petanque court for your enjoyment but you can always escape to privacy as the pigeonnier, arranged on three levels, is independent of the main house, hidden down stone stairway, through blooming bushes and trees.
The kitchen has an old terracotta floor and the ceiling retains its charming exposed beams. There is an old French armoire and a family-sized pine table and four chairs. Refrigerator, stove top, microwave, tableware, cooking utensils and a washing machine are provided for your convenience.
French doors open south onto the main garden with a sheltered alcove where you can enjoy shady afternoons or relaxing sunsets (and smoking, if you are so inclined) at your private café table and chairs.
The sitting room is reached by an original stone stairway and is equipped with a CD player, sofa and two chairs in warm neutrals. A small balcony for two can be found just beyond the French doors.
A wooden spiral staircase leads up to the bedroom, located on the top level with a high ceiling and cool sea grass carpet. Two single beds (or one king), with high-quality mattresses are tucked into this cozy nest, outfitted with good quality French linens and fresh towels. The newly renovated bathroom features a slate floor, modern walk-in shower, heated towel rack, sink and toilet.
Although this property makes you feel as if you are in the countryside, the walk to the center of Aix is only 10 minutes and there is ample parking.
