Sommaire

If you enjoy five-star hotels in France’s Midi region, which roll out the red carpet for their guests, this establishment in Aix-en-Provence is sure to win you over with its one-of-a-kind charm and décor, which is modelled after eighteenth-century estates in the region. You’ll also fall for its refined styling. Even the smallest spaces are decorated with art, and its flower-covered terraces are flanked by mythological goddesses.

Immersion in a refined universe

Perched above Aix-en-Provence, a cultural capital that boasts a thousand and one fountains, this « palazzo »-inspired farmhouse personifies the lifestyle of Cézanne’s home region. Sharon Stone, Bono, Sophie Marceau, and Bradley Cooper have all stayed in the hotel, which offers 23 rooms and suites, Baroque-style boudoirs equipped with king-sized beds, Louis XV writing desks, authentic tapestries, and marble bathrooms.
