“Couldn't be better!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

Our family of 4 (2 boys, 21 & 17) traveled to Aix to experience Christmas in Provence. We hoped for an apartment that was beautiful, charming, yet comfortable and convenient. Maison de Carlotta was that and much more. First of all, my conversations with Aline, the owner, were always delightful as she is a vivacious, gracious and kind person. At the last minute she was unable to greet us upon arrival since she was with her new grandbaby, born only days before, but she arranged for her wonderful neighbor to show us around the apartment. At first glance we were impressed with the way Aline had made a naturally charming historical apartment into an artistic, classy home. Each room was warm, light and lovely. We loved our bedrooms, each with their own bath and each beautifully appointed. Being musicians, we were thrilled with the grand piano in the living room and wonderful cds to enjoy during our stay. The kitchen was well-stocked, the laundry room easy to use and the dining area charming.
The location of this apartment is fantastic. Everything you need is just around the corner: boulangeries, pattiseries, restaurants, and fresh outdoor markets! During Christmas the Cours Mirabeau is decorated with beautiful lights and lined with Christmas gift booths. On Christmas Eve we bought all our fresh food at the incredible Saturday market for the Christmas feast we cooked and shared with friends, served in Aline's gorgeous dinnerware. A special day indeed!
We were able to take excursions to Uze', Avignon and Cassis and easily make it back in time for a good nights sleep. Aline met us on our 7th day and we wished we had more time to spend with her....as well as more time at Carlotta. What a place. We will always treasure our time there and hope to return someday.

Room Tip: We rented this place as an apartment.

“Beauty and comfort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2011

We rented La Maison de Carlotta for a week in November, and were completely delighted
with every aspect of it. Each room is beautiful and decorated with soft colors in a warm Provençal style. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms ample, the kitchen is cozy, and feels very French, and the living room and dining room are lovely. It was perfect.
Aline, who speaks excellent English, is the warmest and kindest of hosts and made sure our needs were met, and helped us reserve a taxi for our early morning departure.
La Maison de Carlotta is on a small street, right off the main street of the old section, the Cours Mirabeau. It is an easy walk to anywhere in the old city.

“Charming Aline and lovely stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011

Despite the rainy weekend, we had a lovely warm stay at Aline's.
"La Maison de Carlotta" is a charming, cozy place located at the central part of the town,
in the heart of the Mazarin district, neighboring an even older historic district up-north.
Aline gave us an insightful and an interesting history of the place, including the relationship between her house and the Cezanne family. She also knows the region, its products and the spots in the neighborhood, not to be missed!
The local aperitif, accompanied with "tapenade" (mashed olives, plus Aline's secret) was an excellent ice-breaker with other guests. She has talent to make people feel at ease.
The rooms are decorated with ancient furniture, with taste.
At breakfast, the large round table could hardly contain all the home-made products, and the conversation with Aline resumes (her command of English is quite good!).
Yes, due to both Aline's generosity, and the richness of the place, we spent an unforgettable week-end, and we are eager to stay there again. Edith and Philippe

“This place is WONDERFUL.”

This was the SECOND time we stayed at Aline's place. We loved it so much the first time around that we came back. And again we found a host who cares. The B&B is super clean, very charming and warm and Aline will always help you with anything. This place is for mature travellers who are not afraid to have a chat with the home owner. She is so refreshing! The location is perfect, it's only a few steps to Cours Mirabeau! Breakfast is a treat, we've never had such a generous breakfast in any other B&B. Everything is fresh, homemade jams, cheese, fruits, juice, fresh breads - you really can't ask for more. You'll share a breakfast table with the co-travellers on the pretty terrasse, which is enriching. If you can walk high stairs you should book this place, you'll love everything about it.
And as for us - we will go back to stay at La Maison de Carlotta again. It's truly like a home.

“A little piece of heaven in the middle of Aix-en-Provence!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011

We stayed five days with Aline at Maison Carlotta and it was one of the best B&B's we've ever been! Don't expect an American Style 5 star place with elevator and mini bar... but a comfortable, truly French apparment, beautifully with much love and taste decorated, a very charming, sincere and capable hostess that makes you feel at home right away and wonderful breakfasts on the terrace and all this right in the heart of Aix-en-Provence!
We were very sad to leave and will definitly come back every year!
Thanks for everything Aline and see you next year!
Love Margaretha and Dominique
