Accommodations:  Terrace Apartment, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 4)

Aix en Provence, founded by the Romans because of its thermal springs, is a beautiful university town a half hour north of Marseille and an hour and a half west of Cannes. In opinion polls it has more than once been voted on by French people as the town they would most like to live in.

It has immense charm, outstanding historic architecture, wonderful sunny weather, lively markets, great foods (hundreds of restaurants), hearty wine, and a large international community (in particular there is an Anglo-American club with over 600 members to help get you started).

The apartment is in a gate house on a property with beautiful Provencal vegetation located in one of the loveliest areas of Aix in a calm, country setting only two miles from the center of town (easy walking distance). The gate house consists of two separate units with separate entrances, one upstairs on one side of the house and the other downstairs on the other side. The guests do not meet unless they desire to.

The apartment is spacious, tastefully furnished, well-insulated with a marble bathroom, Italian tile throughout, overhead beams, and large, built-in cupboards. One bedroom contains a queen-size bed, and the other one has a double-size bed with a skylight and roof that slopes down to 1.35 meters at the far end of the room. There is a full bath (skylight), combination living/dining room with built-in kitchen area (skylight), and a charming adjoining terrace.

The apartment is light and bright, and was recently redone.

  • Our time in Aix has been everything we had hoped for and more. Much of the reason for this has been our lovely apartment at 565 Mas de Cabrettes. This is a light, high-ceilinged and peaceful place. We awaken each morning to the song birds, relax on a remarkably private terrace, enjoy our walks to town along the flowered lane. The kitchen is well-equipped, the space perfect for a couple. We also had space for visitors while here. Kathleen is a lovely neighbor. She helped when we needed it and she didn't intrude at all. We consider her a friend. My advice, if you've gotten this far: rent the place.

  • Our five month stay here ends soon. It has been absolutely lovely. We will miss Caruso, the song bird who wakes us each morning, the light and airy apartment, our quiet and sunny patio. This is a marvelous rental, on a quiet lane, yet just a 30 minute walk, 15 minute bus ride or 5 minute drive from the center of Aix. It is life in the country and life in the city combined. The kitchen is well equipped. There are plenty of books to read. And for a couple, the space is perfect. Kathleen is the ideal person to rent from, helpful but unobtrusive. We will always remember our time in Aix and at Mas de Cabrettes. Jerry and Kathy

  • Dear Kathy: I loved your 2-bedroom apartment, so well-furnished, the best of appliances beautiful location, which is excellent, lush vegetation and close to the centre of Aix. Residensce there for the month of July was most pleasurable. Another wonderful memory. Hope to return in the not too distant future. Thanks, Sharon Blair
