Maison Dauphine is in a perfect location for exploring the historic heart of the city. It occupies a tall period building just a few minutes from the main tree-lined avenue, and has been decorated with great thought and flair. Hostess Veronique is helpful and responsive.

Unfortunately we were allocated the top floor apartment in the building, which meant climbing six flights of stairs each time we went back. This was a bit of a killer, especially when first arriving with heavy luggage! Also this apartment lacks the lovely tall windows in the other units.

The hostess warm welcome and her caring and show us what’s nice around the city. She even helped us to lift our heavy luggages. Great appreciated! And the house is very cozy and nice. I can have a good sleep! So happened, our second night the electricity of a few buildings are stopped, hostess waited in the apartment for the news update and ask us go for a dinner. You can never find a responsible hostess like her. She is really charming.

Nothing or maybe no lift.

The hostess Veronique was very attentive and engaging and ensured we were taken care of and then left to ourselves only being available if needed. The location, just south of Cours Mirabeau is excellent and we were able to walk everywhere throughout the city. While on the third floor the steps were quite low and I was able to bring up two heavy pieces of luggage relatively easily. The kitchen and eating area is well appointed and you could cook a feast there. A worthwhile and enjoyable stay.

There were two primary negatives. The bed is very firm which for those who have a pillow top or softer bed can make it a little uncomfortable to sleep on. The second is the arrangement of the bathroom. The toilet is in an adjacent private area, the sink is within the bedroom and the shower is in another alcove within the bedroom...it just makes from an odd arrangement but it is workable...for couples.

Our stay was perfect in every way. The apartment was so very comfortable and spacious with all the amenities. The bed was comfortable, the shower spacious, the kitchen well equipped, and the living room great for meeting up with our friends for wine and cheese. The host, Veronique, was lovely; she’s friendly, professional and very helpful, quick to attend to any need. She even made dinner reservations for us in the next town we were to visit! If returning to Aix, we would definitely stay again at Maison Dauphine.

There was nothing we didn’t like about the property.

Firstly the location is perfect, quiet but close to everything in town. The apartment is spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished, comfortable and had everything you might need. Véronique is a fantastic host, on hand for any questions you may have and gave us lots of useful information when we arrived.

Nothing

Really nice and roomy apartment, very centrally located in Aix en Provence. The host was great in helping us move our car to a closer parking lot and assisted with walking us around a few blocks of the city close to the apartment so we could get our bearings. She also gave us a great recommendation for a lovely lunch spot in the outside courtyard of an art gallery nearby. The markets in the city the next morning were a lot of fun to walk through. Really enjoyed our stay even though it was only one night.

Would have been nice if breakfast was included in the price like most places we stayed, but not a big deal at all.

Overall an excellent one night stay. Veronique’s communication was very helpful. We hugely appreciated her meeting us, getting us parked in a convenient local garage and helping us with our baggage. The apartment is a 2 minute walk to Cours Mirabeau so very convenient. The bed was really comfortable and the kitchen superbly appointed.

Nothing to mention

The location couldn’t have been more perfect, and the beds and apartment were luxurious! The sweet hostess gave us lots of personal tips and assistance. We are glad we picked the perfect spot to stay in Aix-en-Provence!

It was an excellent experience although we just stayed for one night. The location is excellent and very close to everything you would want to visit. The owner is amazing and made us feel like being at home. She has renovated the building with an excellent taste and it's a sheer pleasure to be hosted there! Attention to detail, the best materials and a refurbishment faithful to its origins. As a plus, very beautiful artwork everywhere as the ground floor is a gallery. Bravo!

No elevator. We didn't mind but other visitors may find this to be problematic.

Great location and super nice decoration. Friendly host. Will for sure come back again.

A little bit inconvenient to carry the big luggage to 3rd floor but the host helped me with it.
