Villa Gallici – Aix en Provence

Set on a secluded lane in a residential area, this opulent hotel in an elegant villa is a 9-minute walk from the Atelier de Cézanne museum and 900 meters from the daily markets at Place des Prêcheurs.
Plush, antiques-filled rooms with marble bathrooms are traditionally decorated and feature garden views, minibars, flat-screen TVs and free Internet access; some have balconies. Romantic suites feature separate living areas and private gardens or terraces.
There’s an elegant fine-dining restaurant with patio seating, as well as a wine cellar, an outdoor pool, a lounge and a luxe spa.
