Hotel Review
Tucked away by Aarhus's vibrant canal area, the Villa Provence is a breath of southern France in Denmark's "city of smiles".
This boutique hotel, a stone's throw from the bustling train station, envelopes guests in an ambience of elegance and intimacy uncommon in most Nordic hotels. Though the hotel lacks its own restaurant, its central location means you're never far from Aarhus's finest dining, with the owners' personal recommendations ensuring you only experience the best. The courtyard, a picturesque haven designed by celebrity florist Tage Anderson, is the perfect spot to unwind. While the decor - antique chandeliers, retro French film posters, and chic lounge areas adorned with bric-a-brac from France and Italy - adds layers of character and colour, it's the personal touch from the owners, Annette and Steen, that truly sets Villa Provence apart. Their presence at breakfast, ready with local tips and stories, adds a layer of warmth to the hotel's already inviting atmosphere.
Villa Provence stands out not just for its beautiful rooms and exceptional breakfast but for creating a very memorable experience. A journey into Danish hospitality with a delightful French twist.

Villa Provence Aarhus, Denmark
As the name suggests, this central boutique hotel – a favourite with celebs and VIPs – takes its design cues from the owners’ love of southern France rather than the usual Nordic look. Expect lashings of charm, colour and character, a warm atmosphere, and elegant rooms set around a pretty courtyard garden.
