Les Grannettes, Aix-en-Provence, Provence, France
Number of guests
Sleeps up to 14
Property description
Notre Dame du Val provides an opportunity for a group of up to 14 to holiday in style. Standing just outside Aix-en-Provence, amongst 25 private acres of lavender, olive plantations and fruit orchards, the house has large, grand rooms, a gym within an orangerie, a hard tennis court and, the pièce de résistance, a beautiful big pool, surrounded by teak loungers and wooden decking.
This is, without doubt, a highly desirable Big Domain, furnished in impeccable fashion. Huge mirrors, chandeliers, antique paintings, and ornate fireplaces are offset by more contemporary fixtures and fittings. An ornate fountain greets guests at the front of the house and the mature gardens provide plenty of shady spots for sitting with a glass of French wine and enjoying views of the Massif de l'Etoile. Guests can be as active as they like, taking advantage of the tennis, gym, the 18-hole golf course that's almost next door and doorstep walks through the olive groves; or reading and sunbathing around the pool.
The house manager is extremely knowledgeable about the area, and is on hand at any time to help guests if required.
Location
There are shops in Les Grannettes (3 kms), and further, bigger facilities in Aix-en-Provence (4kms) as well as some wonderful restaurants. A new golf course has opened close to the property, which is available to non-members. The coast at Marseilles is 20 kms away.
