Photo of Villa Gallici

“A flamboyant hotel surrounded by Florentine gardens, terraces, and large pool. Lavish fabrics and a healthy smattering of bold wallpaper give a over wrought luxurious feel to the suites. The restaurant is one of the best in Aix and always full of locals. Romantic and pampering, for a special treat.”

Hotel Review

Villa Gallici pulls off the trick of being both chic and cosseting. Beautiful inside and out, it is set in magical gardens, with terraces, a gorgeous pool and vast terracotta pots spilling over with flowers. The interior is a happy combination of Provençal and Florentine; the sumptuous rooms and suites, resplendent in bold patterned fabrics and wallpapers, and with 18th-century furniture. Downstairs, you’ll find a series of elegant, bright sitting rooms and a romantic restaurant, full of fresh flowers, polished silver and – in the evening – the glow of candlelight. Eat here or al fresco in summer.
