Testimonials
We had a wonderful stay at La Florentine, the house itself is beautiful, decorated impeccably with fabulous fabrics, and the staff were simply delightful and so helpful………..2019
We had a lovely stay and the house is even better than the photos! Everyone was very comfortable and we made good use of the tennis court and the swimming pool. It was great also that we were only a short, albeit rugged, walk into Aix itself………….2018
