About this property
STUNNING ESTATE & ALL AMENITIES, MINUTES FROM AIX CENTER
LA BELLE — AIX-EN-PROVENCE
La Belle is the quintessential Provençal estate. This eighteenth-century bastide, completed in 1803 and fully renovated with deep respect for its original character, sits within a privaten seven-acre domain shaded by century-old plane trees. Two-foot-thick walls, high ceilings, original wood floors, and period doors and shutters preserve the house’s authenticity while offering the comfort of a refined villa. The historic center of Aix-en-Provence is just ten minutes away. The main house has six bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms across three floors. The kitchen, designed for both family life and entertaining, is fitted with two large ovens, a ten-burner stove, a dishwasher, two Liebherr refrigerators with built-in wine storage, and a Nespresso machine. It opens directly onto a vaulted dining room with a fireplace and pizza oven, seating twelve. The ground floor also includes a living room with fireplace, a family room, and a media room. A full laundry room and an outdoor drying area complete the layout.
Outside, a gravel driveway lined with century-old plane trees leads to a broad lawn, a 12.5-meter swimming pool with teak furniture, a regulation-size pétanque court, and an outdoor pizza oven, shaded by mulberry and olive trees. An outdoor kitchen with a large farmhouse pine table (seating twelve) and a stainless-steel barbecue rounds out the al fresco entertaining spaces.
Concierge Margaux and Jérémy live on-site, in their own separate house, discreetly set apart from the guest accommodation. They look after the property and ensure every stay at La Belle is memorable. They speak both French and English and are available for any questions or additional photos.

About the host
Hosted by Michael L. Tevis
We live in Connecticut with four children in college or in the working world and love to travel.
Why they chose this property
We lived at La Belle for 4 years, from 2007-2009, 2014/2015 & 2019/2020 and it was one the best things we have ever done as a family. The children benefitted greatly from leaning a new language and become "world citizens". We relocated back to California in 2009 and moved to CT in 2020. Life in Aix is fantastic and our house serves as an amazing very centrally located base to explore Provence and all of Europe.
What makes this property unique
La Belle is within 10 minutes of all the metropolitan assets of central Aix including world-class theater, dance, shopping and schools. However, it is in the quiet countryside, so the location benefits from the best of both worlds.
