Its large terraces and heated swimming pool in season will allow families and children to spend a superb holiday.



Out of season, it can accommodate up to 10 adults on mission in the region



Carport for 2 cars and parking for 3 more or more



Possibility to rent the 2 other cottages (Écureuil and Pinède) on the same property



Large villa built in the 60's and completely renovated in 2023



4 bedrooms, three of which are doubles (flexibility to prepare them in 2 separate beds of 90 cm or in a double bed of 180 cm)



The fourth bedroom is equipped with 4 single beds, including 2 bunk beds and a "drawer" bed. Intended mainly for children, the beds can still accommodate 4 adults

The swimming pool and terraces are fenced and reserved only for the tenants of the villa Les Cigales



The ground floor of the villa includes a small separate accommodation on another façade and with a separate entrance without access to the swimming pool or terraces of the villa Les Cigales.



The villa is not designed to host events or noisy parties.



I live 15 minutes from the villa but go there very frequently. If I am away, on holiday or unreachable, Mélanie our co-host liaises with the travellers.



Quiet in the pine forest but 500 m from the village and 5 minutes by car from all amenities



Marseille Provence airport 15 minutes away, TGV station 20 minutes away



Ideal for discovering the region by being close to Aix-en-Provence and Marseille.



Cassis and its Calanques are less than an hour away, the Côte Bleue of Carry le Rouet and its beaches 45 minutes away.



But also Arles and the Camargue, the Gorges du Verdon and the Lake of Sainte Croix, the Luberon and its picturesque villages, Les Baux de Provence, the City of the Popes (Avignon) etc. are easily accessible for a day



Departure possible from the accommodation for hiking or mountain biking in the pine forests when the weather permits.



Car recommended. 10 minutes walk from the centre of the village. 20 minutes from Aix en Provence by car, 30 minutes from Marseille



Airport and TGV station 15 minutes away



The pool is protected by a cover with safety bars that can be easily handled thanks to an electric motor.



The swimming pool is accessible during the summer season (April-May to October, which may vary depending on the weather)



During the opening period, the pool is heated by a heat pump guaranteeing a pleasant temperature that is more or less constant

Goed, leuk huis en zwembad, zeer goed onhaal en tips gekregen van de eigenaar Jean-Pierre! Iets te weinig huisraad om te kunnen koken.

Un sejour inoubliable

Nous avons recemment eu le plaisir de passer quelques jours dans la Villa les Cigales. Nous etions un groupe de 8 invites ages de 15 a 80 ans. L'emplacement fut ideale car nous etions capable de visiter diverses regions en Provence avec facilite. Les lieux etaient tres propre, il nous manquait rien et le proprietaire etait tres attentif a nos besoins. C'est un endroit tranquille et le paysage est tres jolie. Tout le monde ont aimer leur sejour ici. Je n'hesiterais pas d'y retourner et de la recommander.
