Monogrammed robes, Persian rugs, and authentic Second Empire antiques in an eight-thousand-metre park.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This 18th-century villa is a splendid piece of architecture, and while it’s surrounded by the city’s townhouses, the estate itself is spacious enough to provide a taste of country living.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Cours Mirabeau is a ten-minute walk away, with Cézanne's studio and the city's stone fountains close by.
The rooms
Bedrooms feature hand-picked art, painted landscape murals, and Persian rugs beneath tall windows looking across the grounds.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 28-metre mirror pool is heated through late October, bordered by sun loungers and an outdoor whirlpool bath.
The spa & gym
At the table
Tables sit beneath crystal chandeliers in the glass conservatory, looking out toward fountain terraces and the estate garden.
How it began
Two stone lions still guard the gate, marking an 18th-century estate built on the grounds of a former convent.
