PS: Please note that there is a very friendly cat in the neighborhood whose family moved away and left :( We put out a bowl of cat biscuits in the garden some evenings if we see it. The cat is not allowed in the house and obviously there’s no obligation to feed it, however we leave a supply of cat biscuits should holiday makers wish to ;)

Lovely house in quiet neighbourhood

We had a lovely stay in Nancy and Igor's house. The house is beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable and equipped with everything you need. Communication with the hosts was excellent - quick to respond and couldn't have been more helpful. With Aix-en-Provence only 15 minutes away we had lots to see and do. I would very much recommend it.

Excellent séjour en Provence

Nous avons passé d'excellentes vacances en famille chez Nancy et Igor. Leur propriété est dans un quartier très calme de Bouc-Bel-Air, à proximité d'Aix-en-Provence et de Marseille. Plusieurs commerces sont accessibles en voiture. L'intérieur de la maison est spacieux et décoré avec goût. La vue depuis la terrasse Nord est impressionnante et permet de déjeuner / diner à l'abri du soleil. Côté Sud, la piscine et le jardin sont parfaitement entretenus. L'espace TV et la connexion WIFI sont un point fort, notamment pour télétravailler. Enfin, Nancy et Igor sont réactifs, disponibles et chaleureux. Ils ont été soucieux tout au long de notre séjour à ce que nous manquions de rien. Serviettes, draps, propreté, gentillesse, organisation, excellence et perfection. Merci encore!

Propriété très confortable

Notre séjour a été des plus agréables, tant grâce à une résidence confortable, propre, lumineuse, bien agencée, avec d’un côté la piscine et de l’autre une vue dégagée sur la forêt, que grâce à la présence chaleureuse « virtuelle » de Nancy et Igor. Et le petit plus très sympathique et surtout pratique: un petit panier garni pour l’apéro du soir, et pour le petit déjeuner. Je recommande à 200%

Un tres bon séjour

La maison est très bien agencée, la possibilité de s'installer au dehors des 2 cotés de la maison est trés agréable. Nous avons pu séjourner dans cette maison en période de chaleur, le rez de chaussée est trés bien adapté si l'on prend la peine d'ouvrir le matin tôt et de laisser les volets fermés la journée . Le premier étage est un peu chaud, mais supportable la nuit. L'espace disponible est très large, ayant un bébé nous n'avons pas beaucoup circulé au dehors, à aucun moment nous avons eu l'impression d’être enfermés. La piscine est le joker en cas de coup de chaud, impeccable. A noter l'absence de barrières qui peut être un problème avec des petits enfants sachant marcher, pour nous avec un bébé de 2 ans ce n'en était pas un. Rien à dire sur les équipements et le reste de la maison. Les propriétaires sont très accueillants et visiblement soucieux de nous voir passer un bon séjour (Merci !!!). Le quartier est calme, aucun bruit la nuit.

Nous avons passé un séjour de 15 jours, en août, en famille, très agréable dans cette maison magnifique et conforme à la description. La vue sur la pinède est très belle, la piscine parfaite et le cadre très calme. Igor et Nancy sont des hôtes attentifs au bien-être de leurs locataires. Nous recommandons cette maison à ceux qui souhaitent découvrir la région. Un grand merci encore !
