Les Suites Du Domaine De La Tour - Aix-En-Provence

The setting is beautiful and peaceful, which makes the experience all the more disappointing. The Domaine couldn't find our Booking.com reservation, and the owner seemed to suspect we might not pay. His welcome felt icy. We saw him in the garden and he didn't even say hello, and it was just as bad the next day. We didn't feel welcome at all. There was only one 50cl bottle of wine for the two of us, which I found deplorable for a place of such a high standard. Two bottles would cost next to nothing. The bathroom toiletries were also just the bare minimum.

We had an excellent traditional French breakfast with good coffee, and the housekeeper was very attentive. The setting is stunning and peaceful, and staying overnight in one of the gypsy caravans was a relaxing treat. I'd highly recommend it for a romantic evening. You won't be disappointed.

The owners were unpleasant, and this was the worst vacation rental experience of my life. The service was nowhere near what was advertised. The bedrooms had no storage because everything was locked, and there was no air conditioning, fans, or child safety barrier around the pool. The kitchen was outdated, the equipment filthy, and the appliances obsolete or broken. If you want to cook for yourself, forget it.

We'll definitely come back as soon as we can. It's a truly beautiful place and estate, with an excellent, generous breakfast. Thanks again to Julien for the warm welcome and professionalism. Highly recommended!
