In previous vacations I have always stayed at hotels because I've always thought it's a less stressful and more convenient arrangement than having to deal with the untried vacation homes than can potentially turn out to be disappointing.
This first experience turned out to be a delightful one. Everything that was described about La Soudanaise in the website was true, and better than expected. What I liked firt when we arrived at the house was that everything was in order, very clean and well-maintained. There was a user guide, a manual of sorts for every appliance in the house, which is very helpful esp. if the guests are not familiar with European-model appliances. There was also a guide book of nearby tourist sites and favorites around the area, as well as travel books about Provence.
The house is on a quiet neighborhood, is very spacious and modern, and we really felt like we were on vacation,not just living somewhere. The pool was well situated with a patio and near a balcony where the family can have get-togethers or share meals after short trips outside Aix.
The house itself is very nicely located and close to the town and surrounding countryside or city tourist destinations, like Gordes, Avignon, and Arles.
This was a very pleasant first for us and I will highly recommend to friends when visiting Provence. |
