Hôtel Sainte Victoire

This is a beautifully designed modern hotel located in the countryside of Vauvenargues, which is a small community about a 15 minute drive from Aix en Provence. We stayed 5 nights and were impressed by the entire staff, which is super-friendly and professional, from the front desk concierges to the dining room staff. The rooms are very modern, with beautiful wood paneling and large wood closets, and the bed is very comfortable. The bathroom is small, but has a large modern sink and wonderful, luxurious shower with both a waterfall feature and adjustable handheld feature. Water pressure was perfect and hot/cold water temperature was very easily controlled by the modern fixture. The bathroom also has a towel warmer/dryer, which was very convenient. Our room had double glass doors leading to a small balcony on the second floor, which has a simply extraordinary view of the nearby mountainside and the Chateau of Pablo Picasso, which are just beyond the hotel's lovely pool. We were very pleased to find that our balcony doors also have a mechanized shutter that can be used to block out early morning sunlight from the room. The dining room is small and simple, but the staff are very attentive. Breakfast, which is made to order, was fresh and very good, and the chef's dinner tasting menu is extraordinary. Overall, for a small hotel in the countryside of Provence, we found this to be an extraordinary experience.

This newly built hotel was fantastic with a breathtaking view, spotless service and amazing creative food. An homage to the staff who put out e beginning wildfire and still working on service. Luckily it went well. The pool area is just fantastic. Incredible calm & relaxing.
