DomaineVillaMartin is a classified site at the prefecture level.
***********************************************
Unique between Aix and Marseille = 2 houses on private park of 24 hectares:
Heated pool from May to September
Manor 6 bedrooms + guard house 1 bedroom.
7 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in all
the two houses are heated in winter and all the bedroom have airconditionned in summer.
Located in the heart of a forest, halfway between Aix en Provence and Marseille, the airport and TGV train stations - 20 minutes each - Domaine Villa Martin solves an impossible equation: being at the gates of cities and touristic sites, while being in absolute calm in a preserved frame. A rare place.
From the village, after 1.5 kilometers of dust track that meanders through the wood, you reach this confidential and authentic place, where time seems to have stopped. All around, the wild scrubland over several thousand hectares. From the huge terraces, it is hard to believe that we are a stone's throw from the old port or Cours Mirabeau. Civilization, so close, does not get along.
The manor is old but it is maintained to welcome the guests all the year in a current comfort. The mansion is (well) heated in winter, and all the 7 bedrooms are air conditionned in summer. The equipment and the furniture are elements of time or of beautiful invoice, but without ostentation, and a neat decoration contributes to the poetry of the places.
The 6 bedrooms (from 15 to 25m2) are all spacious and 4 have a balcony / terrace with views. The double bedding, all 160x200, provide excellent comfort. 2 large bathrooms, one with shower 180, the other with double bath.
The 7th bedroom is located in the caretaker's house, 50 meters from the manor house. Completely refurbished keeping its stones and its old tiles, it has its own bedroom, bathroom, kitchen area. It brings a little more comfort and intimacy. It is useful to house a couple of teenagers or seniors, or a housekeeper (nanny or any other accompanying person).
Amenities =
Air conditionned in 7 bedrooms
15 meter heated pool from may to september
Huge triple exposure terrace
Boules pitch (Pétanque balls provided).
Mini football field
Ping pong table
2 hammocks in the shade of oaks.
Weber barbecue (gas) for grilling.
The 15-meter pool is heated from early May to late September. It is located in an independent area with its own terrace and arbor. Its flat bottom allows all ages to enjoy as well as ball games, while athletes can do lengths. South, it is very sunny, sheltered from the prevailing winds by one of the hills of the domain. The safety of children has received our full attention with a barrier and a safety gate.
The heating can save 3 to 5 ° for bathing water, and thus be less dependent on the weather. It allows to enjoy the pool earlier (early May) and later (late September). In summer, it guarantees a constant and pleasant temperature even in windy conditions.
Privatization / intimacy =
The entire domain is privatized for you, without sharing places or joint ownership. No sharing with other vacationers than those in your group. The first neighbor is 2 km away and you will not bother anyone if you linger late at night on the terrace. On the contrary, everything is planned to take advantage of the area, forgetting the constraints of time and neighborhood, with pleasant ambient lighting to extend the evenings. Terrace, swimming pool, bowling alley, hammock area and ping pong table, are judiciously lit to enjoy H24 if it sings you.
Walks / forest =
From the property, many walks wind through the mountains to the hills of Marcel Pagnol, a famous provence writer, with views of the sea to Mont Ventoux, through the Ste Victoire. The massif of Etoile, which is located between Aix and Marseille, offers a wonderful playground for hikers / joggers or mountain bikers. Typically Mediterranean, it is home to many wild species and rises to 650 meters. In addition, it is preserved from mass tourism and still little used. But that, do not say it (!!) ...
Bedding and linens =
The beds are made upon arrival / linen (bath towels) is included.
Do not hesitate for any request to which we will respond quickly.

Summary: We had a party of 9 and loved our stay. The chateau was beautiful with all of the amenities you could ask for. Beautiful heated pool and great places to hike. We took full advantage of the big dining room and hired a private chef to prepare us a 5 course meal one night. Great and memorable experience is an ideal setting.

Summary: This is a fantastic old house in a style that I liked very much.The House suited my family very well.Both the bedrooms and bathrooms are large and cool with high ceilings.We had high 20s to low 30s weather for our week and sleeping was always comfortable. The crockery probably needs an update I think and maybe a few more utensils.We cook a lot. The location is both fantastic and a bit difficult.For me a price worth paying for the tranquility.If you want to be away from it all then this is the place although Marseille and Aix are each a twenty minute drive away. David is a great host who helped us out with any issues we had not associated with the house! I would love to visit again even to just sit on the balconies.

Summary: I booked this place without meeting the owner or viewing the property, just by seeing the pictures. The mansion is so gorgeous, its been a week we came back but still all our friends and family are talking about it. Its a massive property, all the rooms are very comfortable, beautiful and very clean. Bathrooms are well equipped. The kitchen has everything you need, cutleries, cooking pots, two dishwashers, everything you think of and is available there. The garden is huge for kids to play. Each and every area in the property is spotless clean. The owner David came to meet us at the time of check-in and instructed with all the details of the house. Very humble and kind guy. Overall very very happy with the stay!

Summary: Villa Martin is situated on a historic country house estate in a National Park, giving you access to 60 acres of private parkland grounds. The caretaker's house is just a short stroll from the main house. From here you are just 10 miles from Marseilles, 10 miles from Aix en Provence, and the starting point of many nice walks. These include forest rambles. this is a great place to stay if you love the outdoors.

Summary: We took our children and grandchildren in celebration of my birthday and spent most of the trip at this beautiful mansion. From this location, we were able to take side trips into Aix, the town from which my parents came, and, of course, were able to go into Marseilles and Cassis for various activities. The villa is spacious and meticulously maintained and really comfortable even in winter with a little bit of snow ! I highly recommend this beautiful property, and rate it, as well as the people running it, 5 stars!!
Debbie R. Jan 9, 2017 01:23:10 AM
Summary: This is a large, roomy, bright house, spotlessly clean and comfortable. We only used 4 of the 6 bedrooms, but never felt we were lost in the space, as it is well designed for any size group. We would recommend this place to anyone wanting a lovely house near Aix!
Laurent B. Aug 23, 2016 11:54:51 PM
Summary: We stayed at this house (one week) and it was absolutely perfect. The owner was very nice and communicated very quickly anytime I had a question. The house is in such a great location! very nicely decorated and spacious. There were 10 of us total and everyone had a place to sleep- they're 6 bedrooms total and 2 bathrooms. With a large group it was so nice that we got to all be together instead of in seperate hotel rooms. everyone LOVED it !

Summary: Having seen the photos online and experienced the attentive and friendly service of the lovely owners in advance of our stay, we had high hopes for our friends' week away. The reality was so much better than we could have imagined! Bags of character, spacious tastefully furnished rooms, a mix of modern appliances and furnishings with traditional character features. The owners were flexible and attentive throughout the booking process. We're counting the days til we can go back.

Summary: We stayed in the mansion in october. Even in the depths of automn the properties and gardens are wonderful. The mansion was an ideal base for exploring the local area and there is plenty to do within 15-20mins, I would say a car is essential to make the most of your visit. The description of the property is an accurate reflection. The welcome book was really helpful. The owner has been very helpful in suggesting local contacts to help on our trip. Thanks.

Summary: We appreciate how promptly and thoroughly David answered all our questions before we arrived. The house was exactly as we expected, and the BBQ was a great way to enjoy the lovely weather. David was most helpful. It was a prefect holiday for us friends and our families. Aix itself is a sweet town with lots to do. And this house makes a perfect base to explore beautiful Provence. We had a great time exploring nearby, but were quite happy to just stay at the house and enjoy the calm. Thanks!!!
