A private mansion from the 18th century transformed into a confidential master house, where the spa and the pool occupy the old vaulted cellars.
La Maison d'Aix 1785 - Hôtel Particulier & Spa
From
407.455 €
“Indoor pool in the 18th-century stone cellars, subdued lighting and original barrel vaults.”
La Maison d'Aix 1785 occupies a private mansion a stone's throw from the cours Mirabeau, in a quiet street in the historic centre. The volumes are those of a private residence, high ceilings, old tomettes, exposed stone walls. The spa settles into the vaulted cellars of the 18th century, heated pool included, indirect light on the blond stone. We slept in a room on the first floor, waxed parquet, thick white linen, bathroom in grey marble. The Booking score of 9,5/10 reflects the attention to detail, personalised service, breakfast served in the inner patio. From 407 € the night, it is an address for those seeking the intimacy of a house rather than the pomp of a palace ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend this address to couples who prefer the human scale to the machinery of large hotels, romantic weekends or discreet anniversaries. The underground spa attracts a wellness clientele, thirty- and forty-somethings seeking calm two hours from Paris. Business travellers find the Wi-Fi and service, yet the spirit remains resolutely residential, no meeting rooms or liveried concierge.
