No two rooms are alike, though all are spacious and luxe, decorated in rich fabrics and ornate wallpapers.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Tucked behind private gates in a quiet residential district, the property sits a gentle ten-minute walk from historic Aix and Cours Mirabeau.
The rooms
Bedrooms layer scenic toile de Jouy wallpaper with Louis XV antiques, canopy beds, and marble bathrooms opening onto private terraces or gardens.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Red parasols and cypress trees line the heated pool deck, set beside a classical stone pavilion.
The spa
The spa offers Carita body therapies, and an outdoor hot tub sits among the garden flower beds.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Seasonal Provençal dishes are served beneath a sky-painted ceiling, and the rotunda cellar holds extensive regional vintages.
How it began
Three friends founded the hotel in 1990, transforming an eighteenth-century country estate into an intimate Provençal retreat with Florentine flair.
