Florentine Grandeur Meets Provençal Serenity
Secluded in an emerald oasis of fragrant lavender, ancient cypress, and towering century-old plane trees, Villa Gallici is an intimate 5-star Relais & Châteaux haven situated just a five-minute stroll from the sun-dappled plazas, historic fountains, and bustling markets of Aix-en-Provence.
Conceived as a tribute to 18th-century Florentine residences, this bespoke villa pairs Italian neoclassical refinement with the warm, sun-kissed soul of Provence. Handcrafted woodwork, precious Rubelli and Braquenié silks, fine antiques, and ornate tapestries decorate every corner of the property, creating the intimate, welcoming feeling of a private family manor.
Guests can wander through aromatic gardens scented by rosemary and thyme, unwind beside the heated outdoor swimming pool while listening to the soothing chorus of cicadas, or explore the rich cultural legacy of Aix-en-Provence—from Paul Cézanne's painting studio to the lavender fields of the Luberon and the dramatic limestone calanques of Cassis.
