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.
