Under the light Cézanne once knew, the Villa Gallici Hotel is an 18th century Provençal house and a member of Relais et Châteaux portfolio.

The hotel is set within a shady seven acre garden, complete with romantic Greek statues which highlight the regal character of the place. There is also a beautiful swimming-pool that is big enough for enthusiastic swimmers.

Like many other hotels in its class, there is a gastronomical restaurant where you can indulge yourself in the crème de la crème of Provencal cooking.

There are 22 bedrooms and suites which are decorated in pretty Provencal fabrics and furniture and most have the luxury of a private terrace or garden.

It is a place for those that like the finer things in life within a rural setting.

The Pool

Outdoor swimming pool set in the beautiful gardens of the hotel.

The Restaurant

Enjoy the seasonal cuisine inspired by the tastes of Provence and the Mediterranean and prepared by the Chef Christophe Gavot.

The terrace has great views over the gardens and a relaxed atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of the town which was home to King René. In the evening, the tables are lit by candles.

Then, in the lounge, where the atmosphere is as cosy and intimate as the country home itself, you can enjoy refined and stylish cuisine.

Visitor comments

"Less than a 10-minute walk from the town center, this sumptuous and romantic villa is Aix's first five-star hotel. The 3 hectares (7 acres) of lavender-scented Florentine gardens surrounding this 19th-century Provençal mansion induce utter tranquillity. Rich fabrics and antique furnishings evoke the 18th century in the elaborate yet extremely comfortable rooms and salons. On warm evenings, dinner is served by candlelight under the plane trees in the garden, where finely crafted dishes might include brandade (creamed, smoked cod) or a rich risotto with crab and chorizo." - Frommers
"This honey-coloured villa close to the opulent old town of Aix-en-Provence is a decadently decorated Francophile’s dream. Lavish interiors, sumptuous fabrics and a poolside Cézanne would have been proud to paint, Villa Gallici is a Provençal masterpiece. Its grounds live up to this idyll, too – they’re lusciously dense with 100-year-old plane and cypress trees." - Mr & Mrs Smith
