Hi Amanda - Thank you so much for the email. We had an amazing time at your Maison! Everything was perfect. Your home is beautiful - it had such a classic french feel. The grounds were perfect for our big family vacation (there were 15 of us) - we did everything from tennis to basketball to soccer and of course just basking around the beautiful pool. We had a chef come in a few nights and had a few really beautiful meals out under the giant trees. Velvet was so sweet and had fun playing with all the kids and Tilly and Gary were super helpful. We lucked out with really perfect weather. Also, I so enjoyed your beautiful art and all of your sweet family pictures. The warmth and love that fills your home is evident. Thank you again for letting us rent your home for our family vacation. We are already trying to figure out when we can get back!

I just spent a wonderful week at this house with a group of friends and their teenage kids. The property was absolutely perfect in every way. Fantastic location right outside of Aix, but totally secluded and feels like you're really in the country. The house itself is beautiful and very comfortable. Great beds, great kitchen. Tons of stuff for the kids to do (pool, tennis, etc.). The owner's cousin lives in a separate house on the property with her family and was incredibly helpful. Highly recommended!

Hi Michael: I just wanted to say what a wonderful time we had at the Bastide during our 2 week stay in June. We took home so many wonderful memories...we laughed alot, cooked pizzas in the pizza oven and drank lots of good wine! Ben and Mary were fantastic...they gave us lots of ideas on where to go and we will always remember that they got married on June 26, which is our daughter's birthday! We visited Mary at her winery and sent home several bottles of wine. It was also so convenient having the TGV station so close. We took day trips into Marseille, Avignon and then drove to Nice and Cannes and made a stop in Montecarlo to try our luck at the casino! Our daughter loved hanging out with Owen...if she could, she would have taken him home with us! And the home was absolutely incredible!! Everyone was able to have their own space and bathroom, and we enjoyed playing ping pong and baseball in the amazing field. Thanks again for a wonderful time...we are still talking and laughing about our family trip!!

Michael, we are back from France and had a great time. Our Paris accomodations were undergoing unexpected renovation, so arriving at your fantastic place in AIX was a trip saver. It was warm during our stay so we spent a great deal of time relaxing at the pool and swimming. There were 8 of us, most of whom loved cooking, so we spent wonderful times shopping at the markets and then eating and drinking wine outside. Mary and Ben were lovely people and gave us good advice on where to go. We visited Mary at the winery (just like home), drove to Roussiollon one day and to Cassis on another where one of my relatives got to join the rowing team, We loved Owen who became a temporary member of our family. I can't thank you enough for offering your house to us. Take care, Anna
