Our notes
Villa Saint-Ange
Villa Saint-Ange is a five-star hotel in Aix-en-Provence, in the Mazarin quarter and a few minutes from the Cours Mirabeau. The hotel describes it as close to the city centre and yet hidden away, in a Mediterranean garden on a property of about 8,000 square metres. The building is a renovated and extended 18th-century villa, noted for its Second Empire scalloped roof and its traditional townhouse interior; the rooms and suites are decorated in the spirit of the city's 18th-century townhouses.
On site there is a swimming pool in the garden, a spa and gym, and two lounges: the Salon Malmaison, which is private and used for meetings and lunches, and the Salon Vilmorin, open to guests through the day. The bar has the intimate feel of an 18th-century townhouse. The restaurant, Ama Terra, whose name means 'Soul of the Earth', serves Mediterranean-inspired cooking built on seasonal produce, indoors or on the terrace.
Aix-en-Provence is the old capital of Provence, and the villa is an easy walk from its fountains, markets and Cours Mirabeau. Photographs: the hotel's own material on villasaintange.com.
The area
Aix started as a Roman spa: Aquae Sextiae, founded in 123 BC around thermal springs the Romans had discovered, making it one of the oldest Roman settlements in Gaul and giving the city both its name and its enduring nickname, the "city of a thousand fountains." The springs are still there, quietly, under a town now better known for the Cours Mirabeau - a broad avenue shaded by plane trees and interrupted every hundred metres or so by another fountain, the loveliest and mossiest of them, the Fontaine Moussue, warm to the touch from the thermal water still feeding it after two thousand years.
Aix is also inseparable from Paul Cézanne, born here in 1839 and painting the surrounding countryside - above all Mont Sainte-Victoire, visible from the edges of town - for most of his working life; his studio, the Atelier des Lauves, is preserved much as he left it and is a short walk from the old town. Between the two, the old quarter is worth simply wandering - the Saturday market on Place Richelme, the honey- coloured stone facades, and a stop for calissons, the almond-and-candied-fruit sweet that has been made here since the fifteenth century and is still Aix's most-exported souvenir.
