Villa Saint-Ange ★★★★★

Aix-en-Provence uniquely strikes the perfect balance between being a haven of relaxation, and also a bustling town with plenty of exciting bars and restaurants. Tourists flock here for the beautiful views, excellent food, and exciting produce, all of which the area is famed for. Nestled amongst all of this is the gorgeous Villa Saint Ange, 5 recently renovated ‘bastide’ country cottages, where tradition and innovation are combined to create a uniquely luxurious experience.

The hotel blends beautifully into its surroundings, and mirrors the other 17th and 18th century mansions found around the area. Despite being located only a few minutes from the bustling Cours Mirabeau, this hotel is truly a haven of peace, with its Provençal gardens and pool, providing the perfect place to relax and unwind. Each room also features a unique decoration, indicative of the thoughtful care that has gone into making this hotel as comfortable as possible. Featuring terraces or gardens from which to admire the views, and luxurious, 19th century style decoration, these rooms are certainly the ideal place to come and spend some time after a day exploring Provence and its wonderful surrounding countryside.

Of course, the hotel also has plenty of other ways to spend the day if you would rather remain close. With the beautiful ‘Miroir’ infinity pool, and gorgeous Provencal garden, there are plenty of places to laze around, enjoying the warm, French sun. Equally fantastic are the new gym, massage room and large jacuzzi, allowing you to unwind and relax even further. These facilities are all of exceptional quality, given the recent opening of the hotel. After a day of relaxing, or exploring, you can then enjoy a delicious meal at the restaurant, providing an exciting, reimagined Mediterranean menu, and have a night-cap at the bar in the superb Provencal garden.
