Bouc-Bel-Air Homestays

Bel emplacement, paisible, malheureusement, il n'y avait pas d'eau chaude durant le temps de notre séjour, malgré le passage d'un technicien. Ce dernier n'a apparemment pas pu réparer la panne. J'espère que ce genre d'inconvénient ne se répétera pas pour les clients à venir. Sonia Jebsen

We chose this hotel because we thought it was close to Aix TGV station ... unfortunately it's a good half-hour drive away on a kind of business estate. Secondly we chose it for its pool, but the pool had closed the day before on 30th September. Thirdly, we expected a meal, but the restaurant was closed! Instead of explaining that it would open again for breakfast and lunch next day, we were directed to take an Uber to a 'village' called Plan de Campagne - this turned out to be a shopping centre where all the restaurants were again closed! Thank goodness we did find a sweet little chain cafe called Pitaya selling Thai food (and we also met a really helpful person at the still-open Cave des Fromages and bought its excellent cheeses), but we then waited nearly an hour in a deserted parking lot for another Uber. Not a good way to spend our last night in France! However: the rooms are nice, the staff are otherwise intelligent and helpful, breakfast was good. The hotel is aimed at drivers who don't want to stop in city locations, and presumably at French guests who will know their way around instead of tourists who need more help in this kind of location. I felt sorry for the staff having to deal with such disappointed guests, but the website really does need to be more accurate.
