Le Vieil Aiglun B&B - Bed & Breakfast in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence
1078 Montée Du Vieil Aiglun, 04510 Aiglun, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence
Provence - Alps - Riviera,
France
You're surrounded by acres of fields and fruit trees and you can follow a trail all the way to the top of the hill. Deer roam the slopes, wildlife abounds and the nearest major road is distant, so the peace is profound.
Interiors are spacious and well lit with a comfortable sitting room full of games and books, a vaulted dining room, use of a well-equipped kitchen (help yourselves to tea and coffee), plus a sauna with views and a west-facing terrace. Four bedrooms, simple and spotless, have en suite showers or a bath and marvellous views.
Wake to viennoiseries, local honey and jams, hams, cheeses and eggs, the freshest breads. Alexis does a table d'hôte menu several evenings a week, or in low season you can order local cheese and charcuterie in advance. Spend your days hiking through glorious vistas, playing table tennis or pétanque, cooling off in the smart pool, finding a shady spot with a book, or just snoozing in the sun.
