Away from it all but not so far you can’t visit it all!
The owner Marianne, and her husband, were so nice to allow us to check in 2 hours early. They gave us produce from their garden to use in our home cooked meals. The weather was extremely hot (95-100 F) during our visit and they request the air conditioning be off when you leave the house, but because part of the house is underground, it does not get hot induce too quickly. There is a washing machine for your clothes and a rack to dry them outside. It’s dry like a desert in the summer and clothes dried quickly. Vauvenargues is a tiny village with 3 very good restaurants: pizza & other entrees at La Garde, French-Moroccan at La Couscousier, and a Michelin star restaurant at Hotel Sainte Victoire. Picasso’s castle is in the village though you can’t visit. Lac de Bimont and surrounding area has beautiful hiking trails. Aix-en-Provence is so close with many opportunities for shopping and dining. We rented a car and used Parking Mignet in Aix each time we drove to town. A very lovely way to stay in Provence!
