The villa was so much more than we expected: it was spacious and incredibly well-appointed; the hosts were super accommodating; it was close to the center of Aix but far enough away to be quiet and serene. Trust these reviews - this home really is THAT nice!
Magalie and Serge are amazimg hosts and very helpful!The house feels like it's in the country but it is just minutes from city center amd has the amenities that you could need.
Fantastic location to explore Aix and surrounding areas. Spacious property where you’re in a private /secluded world but yet minutes from all the conveniences.Perfect for our family!
Fantastic property. Layout and setup is perfect, especially the exterior yard, pool and kitchen/dining. Feels very authentic and is very well stocked and maintained. Host is also incredibly gracious. 10/10.
This was a lovely property and stay! The listing is accurate. The home is on a family compound that feels like a getaway but the heart of Aix is only a short drive away.
We loved this property. A home away from home in Provence! So well located. Fully equipped with everything from kitchen supplies to games, linens and comfortable beds incredible pool and outdoor living area. The living room had a great functioning TV for evenings when you and the family wanted to just relax after a travel long day. The garden is a beautiful oasis. We all loved it and want to go back. I would recommend this property. We feel very grateful and lucky to have stayed here. The hosts were kind, generous, helpful and available.
We loved the apartment and all the amenities. Very well maintained and in great condition. The host was also very responsive and accommodating. Will strongly recommend staying here.
We LOVED this place. Well appointed, we had everything we needed plus more. The kids loved the trampoline, play set, ping pong, and of course the pool. We are ZERO meals inside and were so close to a delicious restaurant that we loved. Cannot recommend enough for a classic south of France stay.
We spent our Easter vacation in this beautiful house and there was nothing missing. It is spacious and especially the garden big and beautiful and the kids enjoyed being on the trampoline or playing table football. You can also reach the city very easily and the shopping options nearby are great as well. It was still too cold to go swimming but im sure we will try the pool next time we come. Many thanks!
The property was beautiful so charming exactly what I hoped for.
It had everything you could ask for and more.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Thank you very much for you comment!!
It was a great pleasure to wellcome you.
You can come back when you want!!
This villa is centrally located if you have a car for touring around the Provence region. It will accommodate lots of people, though it was also perfect for the three of us. It was very clean, well equipped and the outside space is incredible. The host was very accessible and helpful. It was an all-around 5 star experience.
We had a wonderful stay at this property- it was very peaceful and serene. It felt like a true taste of French living. A very good restaurant is nearby and also everything else one might need.
The host’s communication was excellent and they answered all our questions. Merci beaucoup!
Fabulous, inviting home in a perfect location to explore Pays Aix. The house is located on a huge, completely fenced property which our dog loved. There were several well-maintained garden "rooms" around the pool, the olive tree orchard, two outdoor dining rooms and a complete outdoor kitchen, plus a pool cabana with bathroom, toilet and shower.Inside, the house is very clean and cozy. You can tell there is a lot of love in the home. Each day we felt more at home as we discovered more little details. The hosts provided plenty of amenities. We really didn't need to bring any of our own supplies.The hosts communicated well and were very kind. We'd definitely stay here again.

Thank you very much for your message, we will be happy to welcome you for a future stay.
The villa is simply stunning, really well appointed with a lovely pool and outdoor cooking area. You very much feel like you are staying in a lived-in home, super well decorated and appointed. The hosts could not do more to help.
It's a little way out of Aix - not a walk, and not the easiest to find first time.
We enjoyed our stay here. It was great for each of our teens to have their own room, with plenty of space to spread out into the lovely living room and patio. The. location was quite central to travel around Provence. The kitchen was well stocked, although it would have been nice to have more than one towel each and more toilet paper than we did for 5 people for 5 nights. We did find the house temperature slightly challenging to regulate, but were able to have a nice fire in the woodstove one evening, and open windows when it got too warm another day.
Overall, a great property and location.
We spent two lovely weeks in Magali’s property. The house is very well equipped, nicely furnished, and shut away from the main road such that the only noise is birdsong.
The pool house is similarly well equipped: we ate there virtually all of the time, quickly learning to apply mosquito repellent.
The (unheated) pool itself is a good size, and a blip in the ph balance was swiftly addressed by the always helpful owners.
The setting is sublime, within a few minutes of Aix by car, with Marseille and the wonderful La Ciotat within easy reach. Highly recommended!
We stayed as a group of 9 ladies and had a wonderful short break. The house is beautiful, we particularly enjoyed the outside kitchen and shaded undercover table, we loved the pool area which had plenty of comfortable loungers. We did not have a car but walk the 8mins to the local supermarket and boulagerie daily with ease. We got Ubers and taxi in and out of Aix, they were 15-20 euro each. The house had so much kitchen facilities and beach towels and all linens was provided. The hosts answered all our questions and met us in arrival. Would totally recommend this house for a group stay. It would also suit couples staying together and family groups. Many thanks for a wonderful experience
We were a group of three couples enjoying a tour through France. We selected Lou Mas Galou for the lovely outdoor settings. They were great and we were very happy with our choice. Having said that, there were a few surprises that we had, but we managed fine. There is no BBQ. Instead there is a flat top griddle/grill in the outdoor kitchen. We quickly changed our menu plans and it worked out for us. Also, the third bathroom is very primitive and outside by the pool house. There are only two bathrooms in the house. There is one bathroom downstairs next to one of the bedrooms. The upstairs bathroom, which serves the three upstairs bedrooms, is actually a separate toilet on one end of the hall and a separate bath/shower/sink on the other end. We made it work with two couples staying upstairs together, but it was not what we expected. This villa would be ideal for a family with the master bedroom and a bathroom downstairs and then three other bedrooms upstairs. For three couples each wanting their own bathroom, it is not ideal. Also, the pictures make the villa look like it's out in the countryside by itself. It is actually through two gates on a family compound. The owners and their families live in various homes on the property. The villa is one of those houses and also backs up to other properties. It was fairly quiet when we were there and not a problem. Our hosts were very responsive and helpful.
Wir verbrachten eine wunderbare Zeit in diesem herrlichen Haus mit riesigem Garten. Die Küche ist voll ausgestattet, es fehlte an nichts. Das Haus, die Toiletten und die Zimmer waren sehr sauber und mit viel Liebe zum Detail hergerichtet. Der Pool, der riesige Garten und die zahlreichen Spielmöglichkeiten waren ideal für die Kinder. Auch der Hund hat sich sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und antworteten umgehend auf Anfragen. Wir waren rundum sehr zufrieden.
Le jardin est superbe Les extérieurs , cuisine d’été, table sous la treille, salons … sont très agréables !Il y a aussi de nombreux jeux pour grands et petits !
