Villa Saint Ange  

In the heart of Aix‑en‑Provence, a short walk from the Cours Mirabeau and Hôtel de Caumont. Set on a leafy 8,000 m² estate at 7 Traverse Saint‑Pierre, it's minutes from Place des Quatre‑Dauphins, Fontaine d'Argent and Parc Jourdan. Pet‑friendly, luxury 5‑star hideaway near the city center.

Housed in an 18th‑century hôtel particulier, Villa Saint‑Ange pairs classical Provençal style with modern comforts. Thirty‑four individually decorated rooms and suites open onto gardens with statues, fountains and water basins. Rooms feature memory‑foam beds with down comforters and Egyptian cotton, minibars, flat‑screen TVs, air conditioning and private bathrooms.

Swim in a 28‑m mirror pool or unwind in outdoor heated jacuzzis and spa tubs. The hotel offers a spa with massages, a fitness room, solarium, library, on‑site shops and concierge services. Wake up to birdsong and fountain sounds while terraces and vast Mediterranean gardens invite slow afternoons.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout the property, plus 215 sq ft (20 m²) of conference space and two meeting rooms. 24‑hour front desk and concierge services simplify events and transfers.

Home to Âma Terra by Pierre Gagnaire, the restaurant roots its plates in Provençal flavors and local ingredients. A sunlit terrace opens in warm months for lunches and dinners. Continental and buffet breakfasts are served daily for a fee.
