Le Pigonnet
Quite literally the best of both worlds: A five-star ‘country’ hotel set in an 18th-century bastide, situated a short hop away from Aix’s historic town center. Le Pigonnet’s vast gardens, which overlook Mont Sainte-Victoire, are unique. Beset with fountains, one half is Provence-styled with a 16m-long (53ft) heated swimming pool, while the other is an English rose garden stocked with places to breakfast, sip a cocktail, or read a book. Public spaces pair the hotel’s 90-year-old family-run tradition with modern touches, like portraits of recent guests Clint Eastwood and Marion Cotillard. The on-site Table du Pigonnet gourmet restaurant is headed by chef Thierry Balligand whose menus are created to feature the best seasonal and regional ingredients.
