Could be 5 star with a little work.
This house is a 30 minute drive to the town of Aix En Provence, and it’s in a lovely countryside area so if you want the peace of the country, it’s perfect.
But there are problems with it. First, there’s a deep-down dirty in the kitchen and the bathrooms. It’s more than wiping down surfaces. It requires a deep clean. The beds are slight, old and on frames, so not comfortable. The bedding is a mish-mosh of old sheets, pillowcases and covers. The pillows were old, very soft and some covers were coming apart at the seams.
Because they don’t have a dryer, the towels, which were hard to find, old and mismatched were ‘crusty’ from being hung out to dry. The ceiling had mysteries of spots and clumps, so you wondered what might fall down on you.
The outdoor patio table and chairs were filthy so had to be cleaned before we could sit on them. And the ground space upswept and messy. The area around it wasn’t landscaped or cleaned up so weeds everywhere. Would have been lovely, once cleaned and minimal landscape, to have some patio lights above it so you don’t sit in the dark in the evenings.
The pool is lovely, though cloudy when we arrived, told because of the pollen, but no landscaping around it, so we didn’t feel comfortable getting into or sitting around the pool.
This property has so much potential with minimal work to make it a 5-star. We hope the owners fix it up; if it was, we’d recommend and return.
