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

Nicola, London

The cottage is spacious and very well decorated with a lovely enclosed garden area and patio for eating out. A short walk (2 minutes) to the plunge pool, set in lovely gardens. The area is peaceful and looks rural but you are only a couple of minutes drive from the main road. We walked into Aix on the small country road which took 30-40 minutes (all downhill) and got an Uber back, which was cheaper than driving and parking (there is also a large cab rank in the centre of Town). Florence is friendly and helpful.


Paul, Edinburgh

Le Mas des Anges is spacious, well equipped and within easy walking distance (c40 mins) of the centre of Aix en Provence. But in a very tranquil & private location. Florence is very welcoming & helpful. I don't think the website photos do the accommodation justice - it feels much more charming & comfortable. We would highly recommend it.


Christine& Ian, Haverfordwest Wales

Staying in Le Mas de Anges was made very special because `Florence made sure you had everything you needed, and was well catered for to give you a relaxing stress free holiday. An amazing welcome with a delicious home made onion tart, a drive to the local supermarket to help you stock up with essentials and with gracious hospitality. We felt that we had made a very special friend. We quickly established a routine of a 30/40 min easy walk into town. Always an exhibition, market, wonderful shops to visit followed by a fabulous lunch, watching the world go by & a taxi back!


Celia, London

Flo is a wonderful hostess who came to find us when we were lost in Aix. Her cottage is quiet and comfortable, set in a garden surrounded by fields so that it feels like the countryside. The plunge pool was lovely because the weather was hot.


John, Crawley

We had a wonderful stay at Florence's. She is a lovely, knowledgeable lady and very welcoming. Le Mas des Anges is well positioned to visit places around Provence: ask Florence for her recommendations and won't go wrong. Enjoy!


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’.
