Villa Gallici - Relais & Châteaux in Aix-en-Provence, open April–August.
Villa Gallici rises from the heart of Aix-en-Provence's Mazarin district, a 17th-century Provençal mansion fronted by a tree-lined courtyard and bordered by wrought-iron gates.
Stone facades and arched windows frame intimate gardens where Mediterranean light filters through centuries-old walls.
The intimate hotel occupies a converted palace designed to accommodate exclusive celebrations within one of France's most culturally rich cities.
One of the most extraordinary places we've stayed, and we've stayed in a lot of great places. The hotel was magnificent and the restaurant? absolutely stupendous! Fabulous! We got a little 4 room suite with a balcony and oh my gosh. And the restaurant? the restaurant is over The top. You ask for something you got it pretty simple! and while we have been blessed with being able to dine at many Michelin star restaurants. This ranked among the best that we've been to ever! As to the hotel rooms quiet cozy well appointed, just amazing. I think the beds are a little lumpy and need to be replaced, but very little to gripe about... would we come back? in a heartbeat! And the people here are amazing , very pleasant , very kind , very considerate and very professional , truly , a stunning place to stay and to dine and oh , did I mention the scenery?
