Description for B&B:
The Lecomte family warmly welcomes you to their Provençal Bastide, a monastery dating back to the late 18th century. Situated just a few minutes away from the bustling center of Aix en Provence, this charming establishment offers four exquisitely adorned guest rooms. Each room is tastefully furnished with period and country-style furniture, adorned with Provençal fabrics, and equipped with luxurious bed linens.Having transformed from a mas to a bastide and later a vineyard, our 18th century bastide has recently undergone a comprehensive restoration over the past two years. Nestled amidst two acres of gardens, this tranquil and sun-kissed setting provides the perfect environment for ultimate relaxation. Guests can unwind by the large swimming pool, engage in friendly games of badminton, ping pong, or pétanque under the shade of parasol pine trees. The well-established garden boasts a variety of almond, olive, eucalyptus, sycamore, chestnut, and lime trees, while the delightful vegetable and herb gardens are a visual treat.
Start your day with a delectable gourmet breakfast prepared by Caroline, served each morning on the patio. Afterward, explore the enchanting charms of Aix en Provence and the magnificent countryside that has inspired countless renowned painters and poets.
The Bastide offers four beautifully appointed bedrooms, ranging from 25 to 35 square meters, each with its own unique character. Decorated in an antique country style, these rooms provide comfortable bedding adorned with local fabrics and luxurious linens. Additionally, each room features a cozy sitting area and a well-appointed shower room to ensure the utmost comfort for all guests. Stay connected with our local area network, offering internet access in all rooms via both Ethernet and WiFi. Please note that our Bastide is a non-smoking establishment.
