The Experience

Escape here to Florence’s peaceful little ‘cabanon’ on a hill among fields and woods and forget the buzz and sophistication of the city. French windows make the single-storey cottage bright, and the living is easy between the bedroom and open-plan living area with its simple kitchen.

You have a little garden to sit out in and a plunge pool for cooling off. You’ll also find shade and birdsong under plane and chestnut trees. Florence leaves you wine and fruit; bring back good things from Aix’s fabulous food market to eat out on the patio. You can stroll along to a seafood restaurant in ten minutes; the Red Pepper restaurant is a bit closer and has music.

Discover Provençale treasures all around but do visit nearby St Maximin Abbey and the Grotte de Maria Magdalena; taste the wine and walk the vineyard trails at Château Lacoste – you eat well there too.

Reviews

Jan & Pete, Bristol

This was just what we wanted: close to Aix (we stayed for a week, without a car, and walked into and back from the city every day) yet off the beaten track (surrounded by trees, very peaceful, beautiful views). Florence could not have been more welcoming or helpful; she and her animals are a delight. It's a lovely retreat in all respects.


Joanna, Arusha

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Le Mas des Anges. The cottage was perfect and Florence made us feel so welcome. The situation so close to Aix-en-Provence and the coast could not have been better and Florence was very kind and helpful. We would love to return!


Mark, Cardiff

We had a wonderful week at Le Mas des Anges. Florence was the perfect host and from the moment we arrived we felt at ease and very relaxed. It was a delight to stay there and we intend to return.


Geoffrey & Angie, Ross on Wye

A short distance from Aix-en-Provence in acres of woodland and with stunning views, Les Mas des Anges is a lovely rural country house and cottage, restored with considerable artistic flair by owner Florence, who is a wonderfully warm, kind and caring host. We stayed here in June 2019. It was simply superb. Relaxing and totally enjoyable, with every facility one would require. We were sad to leave not only because the place really is so pleasant but also because we both felt that in Florence, we had met someone very special, whom we hope will remain a friend for life. A real Sawday's gem


June & Gerard, Downpatrick

There are so many positive comments to make abour our stay in Le Mas des Anges that it is difficult to be selective. Florence the owner of the cottage is without doubt the most welcoming hostess of any holiday rental accommodation that we have ever exoerienced. The cottage is comfortable with all modern conveniences. But above all it oozes the personal touch of someone who has a flair for creating all the little touches that make this cottage so French. We believe that not only did we enjoy our six nights in Aix au Provence but hopefully we have a friend for life.


Location

The neighbourhood

It feels like the country here – with only Florence’s house and her second little apartment in view. Yet a 30-40-minute walk has you in central Aix where Cézanne was born and Zola spent his youth. It’s a bustling, beautiful university city famous too for its markets and galleries, fountains and cafés on the Cours Mirabeau. There are two restaurants, one specializing in seafood, within 10 minutes’ walk. Château Lacoste is a 15-minute drive with vineyard walks and very good food.

Local points of interest from Florence Picolo

  • We also have a 2nd apartment (35m2), w/ kitchenette, lounge & private garden, perfect if you're coming with friends or your teenagers. Ask for pricing and details!
  • I named my house 'Mas des Anges' (House of Angels) without knowing the road name 'Bouenhoure' means road of happiness - so it's paradise!
  • Spend an evening in the vineyards listening to a concert (classical music, jazz).
  • Wander the paths of the magnificent Sainte Victoire mountain which sits above Aix.
  • Visit Provence's beautiful villages, or the coast (30 min away) and its "calanques" where it is all blue, blue and beauty.
  • Note that our 10m2 plunge pool is available for you from 10am till 7pm. Go and visit the superb "bastides" and their gardens.

Introducing

Florence Picolo

Elegant Florence, whose children are grown, lives in the next-door house with her cats and two large dogs. She’s passionate about her animals and the fine trees surrounding her home. She used to be a Parisian and worked for the famous designer David Hicks, then moved south when she had children. Having lived in different parts of France, renovated a number of houses and run an interior design shop in the centre of Aix, she has chosen to settle here and welcome guests to her garden ‘cabanon’.
