Villa Degas is perfectly located to tour Aix-en-Provence, home of Paul Cézanne (15 min.), Arles (30 min.) or Avignon (1 hour) to the north or the beaches 25 km (15 miles) to the south. Marseille-Provence is the closest airport (15 km or 10 mi.), or catch the fast train (TGV) from Paris to Aix-en-Provence (about 3 hours).

Colors throughout are bright and cheerful with white walls, red tiled floors and yellow leather sofas. All rooms are sunny from the ample windows giving the whole villa an airy, cheery and happy aspect. The living room has large French doors opening onto the patio and pool. When the doors are open, the patio, with its retractable awning, becomes an extension of the living room. Inside are leather sofas, TV with satellite, telephone, and fireplace. Outside are dining table for six, BBQ (gas grill), ample lawn furniture and a lovely pergola perfect for dining en plein air.

The kitchen would be a pleasure to work in, especially at the sink, where one can gaze out the window at flowers while washing up (or maybe you prefer to use the dishwasher). There is also an electric wall oven, microwave, freezer, refrigerator, 4-burner gas stove, and coffee maker. Nearby is the utility room with washer and dryer. Down the hall are the three bedrooms.

The master bedroom (16 sq. m) has doors opening onto the pool and patio and has a bathroom en suite with a tub with hand shower, toilet and sink. The bed can be a king or twin beds with automatic foot and head lift. The other two bedrooms share a bathroom that has a shower, double sink and bidet and a separate room with the WC. One bedroom has a double bed. The other bedroom is 11.5 square meters with a double bed.

A new studio has recently been added. The ground floor is 35 square meters, with a sleeping loft of 10 square meters. There is a living room with sofabed and TV, a bathroom with shower, and a kitchen with dishwasher, microwave and washing machine.

Enter the garden (1200 sq. m) through a gate and find a lovely, comfortable and very private property with a 5 x 10 meter private swimming pool (open all year). There are patios, pergola and lawn furniture all inviting the guest to enjoy the outdoor life of sunny Provence.
