Both accommodations include a flat-screen TV and a large double bed. The units are on the ground floor, with their own entrance and direct access to the terrace. Views of the olive-planted grounds accompany stays in both categories.

Wi-Fi is free throughout the guest house, and the rooms have a flat-screen TV. Free public parking is available on site, with no reservation possible.

The rooms are air-conditioned and non-smoking. They have a private bathroom with a shower, towels, a bathrobe and free toiletries. An electric kettle, desk, wardrobe and bed linen complete the amenities. The Studio with Terrace also has a kitchenette with a coffee machine. Continental breakfast is served on site. The guest house is for adults only; its garden also offers space to enjoy the outdoors. Horse riding and cycling are among the activities available nearby. A car is recommended for getting around, as public transport does not serve the area directly.

Aix-en-Provence combines warm-toned façades, shady squares and fountains in a Provençal landscape shaped by the hills of Montagne Sainte-Victoire. La Parenthèse Saint Donat is in the residential Saint-Donat area, north of the old town, with an olive grove park and views of the surrounding countryside. This property suits travellers who want to alternate city visits with time in the garden and have a car for getting around.

Atelier Cézanne, the painter’s former home and studio, offers a glimpse into his world and workplace; it is 1.7 km away. In the centre, Cathédrale Saint-Sauveur brings together several architectural styles, and Musée Granet displays art collections. Terrain des Peintres offers a viewpoint associated with the landscapes painted by Cézanne. Aix-en-Provence railway station is 3.4 km away and Marseille-Provence Airport is 22 km away. As the guest house is not served by public transport, a car is the most practical way to reach the sights and return to the property.

The old town is made for a stroll among its courtyards, narrow streets and markets, with a break in a shady square. In fine weather, the city’s terraces and gardens invite you to spend more time outdoors; in spring and autumn, the temperatures make walking tours pleasant. The hills around Aix also offer walking routes and landscapes that inspired the painter. After a day of exploring, the guest house’s heated pool, garden and terrace offer a quieter setting away from the streets of the centre.
