A few minutes' walk from the Cours Mirabeau, Aix's iconic "Champs-Élysées."
This restored 18th-century bastide blends Second Empire elegance with the warmth of a family home, offering an ideal retreat for culture enthusiasts, Provence lovers, or romantic getaways.
Lounge by the impressive 28-meter heated pool, soaking up the sun amid pools, fountains, and lush gardens across 8,000 square meters of serene grounds.
Indulge in gourmet shopping at calisson boutiques—Aix's signature almond sweets—and Provençal markets. Relax on terraces at Place des Cardeurs or Place d'Albertas. Explore current exhibitions at Hôtel de Caumont Center d'Art, one of the city's finest mansions, Hôtel de Gallifet, or the Granet Museum. Don't miss a visit to Cézanne's preserved studio on Lauves Hill, overlooking Mont Sainte-Victoire.
Dine on the terrace or in the winter garden restaurant, savoring young chef Nadège Serret's "romantic" cuisine—neither gastro nor bistro. She spotlights local products, seasonal produce, and reimagines the calisson for a brilliant dessert.
The hotel's magnificent gardens create a countryside escape feel, despite proximity to the city center. Owner Brice Garella oversaw every detail of the renovation, from construction to artwork selection, resulting in this one-of-a-kind gem.
