Les Lodges Sainte-Victoire Hotel & Spa

We recommend the Lodges to couples in their thirties and beyond, seeking Provençal disconnection without folklore. It is an address for wellness weekends, discreet birthdays, post-burnout retreats. Families are accepted (family rooms available), yet the clientele remains predominantly adult, drawn for the spa and the silence.

The hotel adopts the codes of the contemporary Provençal bastide: blonde Rognes stone, canal tile roofs, wooden shutters painted in dove grey. The lodges are scattered across the hillside in successive terraces, each with its own entrance and open view. Minimalist interiors: old tomette tiles, exposed beams, light oak furniture, tadelakt bathrooms. Generous ceiling heights (3.20 m), sliding glass bays opening onto the private terraces.

The Lodges restaurant serves seasonal Provençal cuisine, short menu renewed each week according to arrivals at the Aix market. We find Châteaurenard vegetables, Mediterranean fish, Sisteron lamb, goat cheeses from the Luberon. Continental breakfast served on the terrace facing the Sainte-Victoire, with homemade jams and pastries from a baker in Puyricard. Room service available until 22h, simplified yet refined menu.

The Lodges stand on the Cézanne road (D17), seven kilometres east of Aix-en-Provence, at the foot of the Sainte-Victoire. Aix historic centre is fifteen minutes by car (free shuttle offered by the hotel). Aix TGV station twenty minutes, Marseille-Provence airport forty. The neighbourhood is residential and viticultural, Palette and Sainte-Victoire vineyards all around, absolute silence after sunset. Walks from the hotel (Cézanne trail, croix de Provence).
