We were unsure about booking the Moulin because we couldn't find many recent reviews - but we shouldn't have worried! It's a beautiful hidden away hotel about 20 min drive from Aix, so hidden we drove past it and had to ask for directions. The welcome was warm and the couple running the place are very friendly and helpful - they booked a great restaurant for us on the first night. We jumped straight in the pool when we arrived, it's the best imaginable, straight from the stream, big, clean, fresh and cooling. The view of Saint Victoir from the grounds are incredible, especially in the peachy evening sunshine. There's great sun bathing round the pool, which we wished to enjoy more. Breakfast was excellent - lots of jams and fresh honey, local bread, yoghurt and pastries. You can book dinner with advance notice, but we chose to have a picnic nearby instead. Our room was on the ground floor near the pool and terrace, a good size and nice bathroom with shower room. The first night was a bit warm but the second night was ok, we used a mosquito plug there just to be safe. They only take cash, but be sure to book direct (€150 per night) to avoid booking fees. Highly recommended if you want somewhere near Aix-en-Provence in the countryside.
