“A quaint and luxurious place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

We stayed here for two nights in the Canelle room and decided to extend our stay because we loved it so much.

Breakfasts - are amazing, original and like everything about this place, entirely home made.
I mean, who serves tea out of a huge bowl? And eats a duck gratin for breakfast? With homemade cake and bread and jams? That's pretty awesome.

Service - Friendly and warm. Felt like the host was letting us stay in his home. His manner was incredibly genuine, was there whenever we needed him but also gave us plenty of space to do our own thing. He was always there with his apron on cooking something delicious in his incredibly cute retro kitchen.

Place - Sitting in the downstairs kitchen was such a pleasure, there was always something interesting to look at whilst the owner's 40s music hummed softly in the background. Whether it's an old cash register, or old toy sets on the walls or the impeccably cute backyard with its vegetables in a wooden box spread (which he uses for his cooking) - it was a real feast for the eyes.

Rooms - quaint and nostalgic with every comfort built in. The rooms are huge, we even had an extra sitting room. The beds were very comfortable, all decorated with the traditional furnishings of Provence. The room was always heated with two! airconditioners in the room. The bathroom is fitted out with modern wooden basin tops and a huge tub/shower.

In summary, we never wanted to leave! Not just a comfortable, beautiful place to lay your head but a place with real character and heart. Saving every penny to go back again in the summertime.

“Very charming place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011

people found this review helpful

I loved the atmosphere of the L´epicerie.
Very near of the Old Aix, and besides very good restaurants and attractions.
The owner, Guy, is very kind, “trés simpatique” and guide you to the best places to go.
All the tips the he gave us about the restaurants of Aix in Provence were unforgettable gastronomical experiences. I´m sure that we´ve been in the best restaurants of Aix, paying good prices for a wonderful “provençal “and French cuisine.
The breakfast of L´epiricerie is very good, with different plates every day, mixing home made jam, goat cheese salad, sweet of fruit and the delicious french bread “baguette”.
My accommodation was the Vanille room that is very well decorated and charming. The bathroom is very good and the place is very quiet.

Room Tip: Choose the Vanille with you are a couple.

“Perfect little B&B with a lovely host in a great location.”

L'epicerie is exceptionally cute in every way. The decor is quirky and thoughtful and the room we stayed in - calisson - was huge with it's own sitting room and a very unusual bathroom (you'll see if you book it). Luc was an amazing host and his breakfasts are absolutely incredible. I became a little obsessed with his homemade jams. Overall, great place in a lovely town!

“Formidable!”

We had a lovely time in this bed and breakfast. Luc, the owner, made us feel very welcome: he prepared different regional specialities every morning for breakfast (all delicious!) and he was always happy to give trip or sightseeing recommendations. The guesthouse itself is very tasteful and pretty - we stayed in two different rooms and liked both a lot.
Also, Luc has the sweetest cat in Aix which strolls around the guesthouse's atmospheric garden.
