The hotel is just outside the main area of Aix-en-Provence making it very peaceful. It is also walled from the road. You feel like you are on a country estate. The grounds are tranquil, beautiful gardens, many fountains, several pools, all but one heated. A large, beautiful dining room and several small rooms for reading and relaxing inside the hotel. .Amazing spa, I had the best facial of my life there with Carla.
