Le Bois des Lutins

Stayed for a week with family. Amazing location and ideally placed for trips into Aix and surrounding areas and about 30 minutes to nice beaches. Stayed in a basic but comfortable twin room. Window in the room is strange as if the blind is open people walking past can look straight in. Shower doesn’t have a door so water goes all over the floor. Beds are comfortable, plenty of wardrobe space, a desk and a bedside table. Air conditioning was great even in 38 degree heat. There are no balconies in these rooms. Pool is lovely but there are only 16 sun loungers and guests are claiming these at 8am before going off to do other things. Some of these loungers are empty for hours and I witnessed arguments and towel throwing when other guests decided to occupy these empty loungers and the original guests returned. It is never clear which of the venues are open for food and drink and at what time. On a Friday and Saturday night some sort of private night club takes over one of the venues and everything else closes so you are unable to get anything to eat or drink. There is no vending machine so if you don’t want to go out there is absolutely nothing. You can get a takeaway delivered Food and drink, when you can get it, is good and reasonably priced. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely return but if the communication around bar/restaurant opening could improve and if the sun lounger situation could be sorted out, it would be even better.

Best kept secret near Aix - rooms amazing and food best in the area - good choice for Americans! Have stayed twice bs will be back again.

Apartment room was very clean with very comfortable bed. Unusual the rooms were in different building in same terrace road. Breakfast was not included but excellent selection and beautiful surroundings for meals in reception building. Staff were very helpful and spoke good English
