“Stunning 5* hotel in an 18th-century manor nestled in 3¾ acres of glorious grounds, yet close to the heart of historic Aix. Forty airy rooms and four gorgeous suites offer luxury and chic décor in various styles. Heated pool, spa, delicious Provencal cuisine. Romantic, relaxing and rejuvenating.”

Hotel review

This fabulous property gives you the best of two worlds – a blissful escape from the hubbub and a base for exploring lovely Aix. Guests can wander at will in beautifully landscaped gardens – where Cézanne once painted – enjoying roses, lilacs, chestnut and pine trees, statuary and fountains. Accommodation varies from standard rooms with traditional Provençal décor to suites in contemporary styles. Bathrooms have walk-in showers or tubs. All rooms have Nespresso machines, speedy wi-fi, and minibars stocked with snacks and drinks.
