Villa Saint-Ange Hôtel & Spa

The seven room categories include double rooms, a junior suite and a suite, all designed for two guests. They feature air conditioning, a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV and a minibar. At 23 and 27 m², the Standard and Superior rooms are more compact than the Deluxe and Prestige rooms. Several rooms overlook the garden.

Outdoor spaces vary from room to room: some have a terrace, and the Suite also has a balcony. The Junior Suite includes a seating area and overlooks the garden. The Prestige Deluxe Room has a bath and a shower. At 75 m², the Suite is the most spacious option. Every category has a large double bed. The rooms are spread across the hotel's bastide-style cottages; ground-floor rooms may have a terrace or a garden.

The shared spaces are arranged around the garden, terraces and heated outdoor pool. Sun loungers, parasols and a fence surround the swimming area. The spa and wellness centre include a hot tub, solarium, massages and a gym; some treatments are available at an additional charge. Valet parking is available in the indoor car park, which also has an electric vehicle charging point and accessible parking spaces.

The restaurant serves French, vegetarian and vegan dishes. The on-site café, fruit, wine and champagne add to the dining options; special-diet menus are available on request. Continental breakfast can be served in your room. The reception is open 24 hours a day and provides concierge and luggage storage services, among others. Room service is available at any time. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel. Pets are allowed, possibly for an additional charge, and pet baskets and bowls are available.

Aix-en-Provence is a Provençal city of shaded squares, warm-coloured façades and fountains dotted along the streets of the old town. The neighbourhood around Traverse Saint-Pierre puts the central boulevards and shopping streets within walking distance, while the gardens and quieter avenues of the south of the city are nearby. Aix suits visitors interested in art, architecture and city walks, with a lively atmosphere around its markets and terraces.

Cours Mirabeau, lined with plane trees and cafés, leads towards the townhouses and squares of the centre. Musée Granet displays art collections in a former palace, while Église Saint-Jean-de-Malte is just next door. Atelier Cézanne, the painter's former home and workplace, offers a glimpse into his world; Fondation Vasarely provides a different perspective on modern art. Aix-en-Provence railway station is about 1 km away, and Marseille Provence Airport can be reached by road. A car is useful for exploring Provençal villages and landscapes, but the centre is easy to get around on foot.

In spring and autumn, temperatures are pleasant for combining sightseeing with breaks on a terrace. In summer, the heat makes it worth starting walks early and spending the hottest hours in museums or the garden. A day can take in the lanes of old Aix, a visit connected with Cézanne and a stop at the market to discover seasonal produce. The hills and landscapes painted by Cézanne also make good day trips from the city.
