Mas de la Granette  

In the Provençal countryside just outside Aix-en-Provence, a rural cottage setting about 5 km from the city center. Minutes from the Vasarely Foundation, Grand Théâtre de Provence, Pavillon Noir, Set Golf, Musée du Calisson and Pavillon de Vendôme.

Two individually decorated guestrooms with private furnished patios and kitchenettes (refrigerator and oven). Rooms offer flat-screen TVs and showers (amenities vary by room), with complimentary cribs/infant beds available on request—simple, homey Provençal vibes.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, lounge on the terrace or wander the garden; there’s a library, picnic area and barbecue grills for relaxed al fresco hangs. Free onsite parking and a safe-deposit box are available, and staff speak English, Italian and French.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property and in-room desks for light work, plus free self-parking onsite.

Self-catering kitchens in the rooms include a refrigerator and oven, with a picnic area and barbecue grills for casual outdoor meals.
