“A home in Provence!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2011

person found this review helpful

Oh Domi! How can I thank you for the wonderful time I spent in your home and with you?

I was also fortunate to be one of Domi's last guest (if I can call myself that). Domi welcomed me into her home with such grace and warmth! She picked me up from the train station and we chatted like old friends all the way home. I loved the peace and tranquility the Maison offered and immediately felt comfortable. It was nice to hear birds sing again.

I loved my room, and the Maison as a whole, and Domi was the consumate innkeeper/ hostess. She prepared such unexpected breakfast treats each day for us - one day it was omelets, another day crepes, another day her local specialty (a chick pea sausage), always fresh fruit, juice, yogurt, cheeses and meats, and lots of fresh breads and pastries. She made the best coffee and I can still taste if. Yum! I am a one-cup person but I had two cups each day while there.

I was fortunate to have met some really nice fellow- guests and it seemed like each group that came in were hand-picked and special and that made the experience all the better. This being a B&B most people went out for dinner but I was so comfortable that I asked Domi if I could just prepare dinner in her kitchen and she indulged me. I got a chance to do one of my favorite things - visit local markets and buy food. (Aix has one of the one of most amazing markets I have seen throughout my travels.) I got a chance to use my culinary skillsand prepared dinner each evening I stayed at the Maison.

I still remember our excursion to those wonderful little towns outside of Aix; I would not have seen those had you not taken the time to show them to me.

Thank you for everything Domi!

"Al le meilleur Domi et j'espère vous visiter bientôt dans votre nouvelle maison".

Amour, Chef Gail

“Lucky to be one of the last guests at Maison Rouge”

What a wonderful stay at Maison Rouge: we were very well-looked after by our kind hostess Dominique, and feel very fortunate to be one of the last guests as Dominique will no longer be accepting guests from July 2011 onwards. We wish her all the best with her new adventures!

We just loved the whole experience at the Maison Rouge. Thanks to Dominique and the beautiful and tranquil house & garden, we had such a wonderful and relaxing time during our 6 nights stay. I must say that this is one of the very best place & accommodation experience I have ever had!

“In a Word "Perfect"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2011

Other reviewers have adequately captured how you will find Maison Rouge and the hostess Dominique. Our family (2AD, 2CH) stayed for 3 nights between Christmas 2010 and New Year. Our holiday consisted of visiting the UK and France over a 4 week period and our stay here was a highlight of those 4 weeks. The home is well appointed and the breakfasts were delicious and something to look forward to each day. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Maison Rouge and have no hesitation in recommending this B&B facility to other travelers.

“Beautiful place and amazing breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2010

We stayed at Maison Rouge for a couple of nights while traveling Provence with our two year old son. Dominique is a wonderful hostess, really nice and a wonderful source of information on Aix-en-Provence and the Provence. Her restaurant recommendations were amazing as were the breakfasts that she prepared for us. They are French style (of course) and included bread, pastries, cheeses, cold cuts, fresh fruit, coffee and hot chocolate accompanied by local honey and jams. Everything was delicious as was sharing the table with other nice guests and Dominique. She made us feel welcome and was really nice with our little one too. We had our own room and bathroom, all nicely appointed and clean. The house has parking on site and it is very peaceful. It is a 5-10 mins drive to Aix-en-Provence so having a car is definitely advisable if you are staying in this B&B. We would definitely go back.
