Precheurs Studios

This place has bedbugs. The owner, Paul knew about the problem as I read two previous reviews one week before I stayed and three months before I stayed that also complained of a terrible infestation of bedbugs. When I told him he played like he didn’t know what I was talking about and that it just couldn’t be true. When I left the hotel, he said he would reimburse me my money. He then contacted *********** and showed us as a no-show, which charged us for 15 days that we had rented his place even though we only stayed five nights, because the bedbug infestation was so awful. I initially thought it was mosquitoes And I had to go to the hospital because my body was covered in bites. He ruined our trip and he stole our money. This is not the first complaint of his dubious activities. Trip advisor be aware. Do not let other people fall victim to this person.

This property needs to come with a red alert warning!!! DO NOT BOOK!! This property is a scam! I booked this through *********** 6 months before my trip. I coordinated with the property manager on the day, and only on the day did the Property Manager Paul ask to arrange payment for a property damage deposit. I was aware of the deposit and so was prepared with my credit card. I arrived promptly and was happy to wait until the Property Manager was available. After taking me into the courtyard (which wasn't as nice as the pictures) and we chatted for a bit, he then told me that he couldn't process the damage deposit and I would need to leave and cancel my booking. I was taken aback and at first couldn't quite understand what he was saying as it seemed very unusual. He wouldn't accept any other method of payment for the deposit, said it had to be with the credit card I booked the property with. I was so shocked and was very upset. Paul didn't seem to think it was an issue and told me I needed to go and should sit at a cafe and cancel the booking. He also told me if I cancelled that he would then authorise *********** to refund what I had already paid when I booked. This was all a facade or a lie. Paul put a 'no show' on my booking. I have been liasing with *********** for over a month on trying to get a refund for this booking. I had to fork out an additional 600 euros to book two other properties to cover my stay in Aix which was also difficult as it was Rugny World Cup time. At present I have 850 euros on 4 nights accommodation which orginally was going to cost me 250 euros. I was so upset and still am, how people can take advantage of others. I was travelling alone and so this was very difficult to manage and only because of a very helpful staff member at another hotel did I manage to sort everything. Beware Beware Beware this property is a fraud.

We booked this property , to enjoy the courtyard having used *********** for years, I didn't go into into the finer details, as we haver never had any problems ie Hotel policy information, we received an email accepting our non refundable booking, with the two hour check in requirements, but it also had a late fee option 50 euros, I realised I had booked the train station furthest from Aix de Provence, I rebooked and we had 25 minutes to taxi to accommodation, 1.2 km from station, he had also offered a late suggestion which he removed which I thought was because I had changed railway stations , we were in communication. We honestly had tried to meet the strict check in guidelines , but due to circumstances out of our control, a train robbery, no taxis , we messaged to say we were walking, arrived 6:03 pm, he phoned to say we were late after we had rang the doorbell , he hung up on us and then would not take any calls , *********** said they tried to help and totally supported us but could not do anything !!!!! Aix is lovely and the people there made our stay memorable even with the hours spent at the police station. The issue is lack of honest communication, if the owner had something else on why did he not say, why doesn't the property offer a lock box facility ? The questions are endless, but my recommendation is don't stay there.
