Villa Boulou

The double rooms at Villa Boulou accommodate two people and each have a private bathroom, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a coffee machine. The 41 m² room overlooks the garden and pool and has a bath. The other two double rooms measure 33 m² and have a balcony; one also offers mountain views and a terrace, while the other overlooks the garden and pool. Their bathrooms have either a shower or a bath, depending on the room. These rooms therefore combine garden and pool views with different outdoor features.

The Villa with Private Pool accommodates four people in two bedrooms. One has a large double bed and the other has two single beds. Unlike the double rooms, it offers more capacity and sleeping arrangements across two rooms. The private pool is an additional feature of the villa. The double rooms, meanwhile, measure 33 or 41 m², with a bath in the 41 m² room. Balconies, a terrace and views of the garden, pool or mountains distinguish the different rooms, while the villa suits travellers looking for two bedrooms and several beds.

Villa Boulou brings together several outdoor spaces for enjoying the Provençal climate: a pool, a garden, a sun terrace and outdoor furniture. A picnic area and barbecue facilities complete the outdoor amenities. Sun loungers or beach chairs are also available. Free private parking is available on site. Wi-Fi is free in the rooms.

Breakfast is available as a continental or buffet option. Coffee and fruit are also available on site. Activities include walking tours and bike tours; the surrounding area is also suitable for cycling and hiking. You will also find a table tennis table and board games or puzzles. Air conditioning and heating are among the amenities. Housekeeping is provided daily. The guest house is for adults only, and pets are allowed, possibly for an additional charge.

Rognes is a Provençal village in the Pays d’Aix, surrounded by farmland, vineyards and hills covered in Mediterranean scrub. Its narrow streets and stone houses set the scene for a stay away from large urban centres, while nearby villages are within reach for day trips. The area suits travellers who enjoy combining walks, heritage and time in the countryside. The village is 2.5 km from Villa Boulou.

Silvacane Abbey, a former Cistercian abbey near La Roque-d'Anthéron, is worth visiting for its architecture and monastic history; it is 3.7 km away. In Lourmarin, the château and village streets make for another outing, 8 km away. Parc des Garrigues offers a place to walk nearby. For regional travel, Pertuis railway station is 12 km away; Marseille-Provence Airport is 28 km away. A car makes it easier to visit the villages and heritage sites.

The warmer months are well suited to walks in the countryside and visits to villages, with a break in the shade during the hottest hours of summer. La Roque-d'Anthéron is known for its International Piano Festival, held in summer in the grounds of Château de Florans. In spring and autumn, milder temperatures are ideal for hiking and exploring the Pays d’Aix. A day could combine a visit to Silvacane Abbey with a stroll through Lourmarin, before returning to the garden and pool in Rognes.
