This small B&B in the green surroundings of Aix-en-Provence mixes modern architecture with a retro-inspired interior design. Vintage furniture and travel souvenirs bring warmth and individuality to the the rooms, which feature exposed concrete walls and panoramic windows. The four guest rooms, each 20 sqm in size, are located on the first floor and are accessed via an exterior staircase. All have the same layout, but the interior design of each room is unique: romantic, feminine, Scandinavian, ’70s-style or bucolic. Breakfast is served in the mid-century dining and living room or on the terrace overlooking the pool and the large garden.

Maison Jalon ist mit seiner modernen Architektur ein Juwel in der Provence. Morgens locken wunderschöne Ausflüge in der nahen Umgebung – nachmittags kann man unglaublich erholsam im Anwesen des Hauses und an dessen Pool chillen. Wir waren rund herum sehr zufrieden und können dieses B&B sehr empfehlen. Herrlich!
Das Haus ist eine tolle Überraschung in der Provence; spannende Architektur inmitten traditioneller Landschaft. Maison Jalon ist ein hervorragender Ausgangspunkt, um Aix-en-Provence und die schöne Landschaft zu erkunden. Die Einrichtung ist sehr detailverleibt und ergänzt die Architektur des Hauses auf eine wunderbare Weise. Laetitia und Dimitri als Gastgeber machten mit ihrer entspannten und sehr gastfreundlichen Art unseren Aufenthalt zu einem tollen Erlebnis. Wir kommen wieder.
