Romantic Weekend in Aix-en-Provence
Aix-en-Provence naturally lends itself to romantic getaways. The softness of its golden stone facades, the fountains adorning every square, and the light that inspired so many painters give the city a romance that needs no embellishment. The key is choosing the right retreat.
Just a few minutes’ walk from Cours Mirabeau, hidden behind the high walls of an 18th-century bastide, Villa Saint-Ange welcomes guests into a private 8,000 m² estate. Five historic bastides make up this rare property, home to thirty-four individually designed rooms and suites. Solid wood parquet flooring, silk fabrics, Provençal ceramics, and precious folding screens extend the spirit of a refined Aix townhouse throughout the hotel.
The garden is the true jewel of Villa Saint-Ange. Statues, fountains, and lavender create a setting where time seems to slow down. At its center, a twenty-eight-meter mirror pool, heated year-round, invites guests to swim in every season. An outdoor jacuzzi, a duo massage room, and an intimate bar complete the experience of a romantic escape for two.
At Âma Terra , beneath the Second Empire glass roof or under the shade of the plane trees, Mediterranean-inspired cuisine adds a refined gourmet touch to the evening. The menu, crafted from fresh seasonal ingredients, evolves throughout the year.
To extend the stay, the Mazarin district is best explored on foot. Its private mansions, the Place des Quatre-Dauphins, antique shops, and artists’ studios create a romantic itinerary through the historic center. Saint-Sauveur Cathedral, , and the Cours Mirabeau market complete a weekend where every hour feels twice as precious.
