Welcome to Château de Fonscolombe, a restored 18th-century estate just 15 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, blends heritage with modern hospitality in a way that feels effortless. Set on 30 acres of gardens and woodlands, and surrounded by 35 hectares of working vineyards, this château is everything you’d want in a boutique hotel near Aix-en-Provence.
There’s a seasonal outdoor pool, tailored concierge service, and a calm atmosphere perfect for recharging. Rooms come with plush bedding, well-designed bathrooms, and smart touches, like bathrobes, slippers, and high-end toiletries.
Dining here is serious business. The on-site restaurant, L’Orangerie, is helmed by Chef Quentin Durand and serves seasonal dishes with a focus on local produce. Guests rave about the dinners, often enjoyed al fresco in the château’s French gardens.
Bonus: the sommelier is knowledgeable and genuinely welcoming. Château de Fonscolombe produces its own wines and offers tastings on site. A unique perk for anyone looking to dive into the region’s wine culture without leaving the property.
There’s plenty to keep you grounded: bike hire, billiards, a gym, and plenty of room to wander or unplug.
