Stunning air-conditioned country house for 14 people, with a private heated pool, near the Alpilles

Large house full of character with a wonderfully well-stocked and modern kitchen for cooking and entertaining. We enjoyed cooking beautiful candlelit dinners and eating in the multiple dining areas using local produce from the markets. We had a great time exploring nearby towns in Provence via cars and also the TGV being jsut 15 minutes away. There is plenty of space in the house for a large group to relax, lounge around, have some private time, socialise and even have a movie night on the mezzanine. It's located close to Chateaurenard which has plenty of supermarkets, shops and bakeries. There were a couple of issues with the house, which is expected for an older large home, but the host was very responsive and came over to fix a few things during our stay.

The property was large and had everything we needed for our stay. It had the most well equipped kitchen I’ve seen and it would be possible to cater for a large crowd! It was a cooks kitchen! The pool area was comfortable and we enjoyed it in the warm weather very much. We used the property as a base to explore Provence. There were several restaurants close by and supermarkets and boulangeries. There were 4 bathrooms and 4 toilets but only 2 bathrooms had toilets within them. The beds were ok but the pillows were pretty awful. We sometimes ran out of hot water and in the downstairs bathroom/toilet there was a dreadful smell. We were unable to use the bath in the large upstairs bathroom as it needed repairs. Overall though we really enjoyed our stay and Magdalena was wonderful.
