VILLA AMARA

To describe this place in a nutshell: a luxurious bed & breakfast that is centrally located.
To elaborate: Run by a most gracious host, Lilli, you will be hard pressed to leave this haven of tranquility. Everything you need has been noted and thought of; whenever Lilli asked if we needed anything, I really couldn’t think of anything at all.

Here are a few more notes:

• Breakfast is served for an additional but reasonable cost. Everything served is organic, from the bread to the almond butter. It is still very French, with croissants and yogurt, but you have the option to request other items like boiled eggs and whole wheat bread (best to request in advance of your arrival). This worked great for my partner & I, as I am the yogurt & fruit type, and he’s the eggs and toast type.

• Our room, Le Imperiale, was tastefully decorated and well laid out. Everything was easy to use, including the thermostat, lights, and smart TV. There is central air conditioning in the rooms, and it actually works! The shower was glorious, I didn’t want to get out of it. We didn’t get to use the bathtub but it looked very inviting. The bed was very comfortable, we slept very well. No robes, but slippers are provided. I love a good robe, but I managed just fine without.

• Parking is free and secured behind an electronic gate.

• Each room has a small but fully equipped kitchen, including a separate wine fridge, electric cooktop, kettle & Nespresso (ask for a small carafe of milk), and ice in the freezer. Oh and organic olive oil & vinegar, should you need it. There’s even a woven shopping basket for you to take to the local markets.

• The pool is lovely, surrounded by live koi and lotus flowers. Lounge chairs and towels provided.

Upon leaving you’ll need a big hug from Lilli, because she really makes this villa shine and you’ll miss her the most. She is responsive via text message, speaks French & English beautifully, and wants you to enjoy your stay in her home. Don’t think twice about booking this gorgeous villa, this gem will soon be too popular to keep up with demand.

Die Villa Amara zeichnet sich durch ihre zentrale und doch absolut ruhige Lage in Aix aus. Sie ist ein Juwel, eine alte Villa, die sehr geschmackvoll renoviert und alle Annehmlichkeiten in Bezug auf die Ausstattung bietet. Hervorzuheben sind die ausgezeichnete Innenarchitektur, die durch die Liebe zum Detail hervorsticht. Nichts wurde dem Zufall überlassen, alles fügt sich harmonisch zusammen und schafft eine Ruheoase, einen Ort der Entspanntheit.

La villa Amara est un lieu complètement magique, un havre de paix, de luxe et de poésie en plein coeur d’Aix-en-Provence. Les 3 chambres sont absolument splendides, agencées avec un gout exquis et un soin du detail exceptionnels. Le jardin est magnifique , richement arborisé et ombragé, un lieu de fraîcheur et de calme bienfaisant. La piscine est une oeuvre d’art, entouré de bassins d’ornement où batifolent de superbes koi multicolores. Lilli, la maitresse des lieux vous accueille comme de vieux amis, et vous sert un petit déjeuner délicieux dans le jardin. La villa est située à quelques pas de la vieille ville tout en étant tres facile d’accès en voiture. Un coin de paradis!

Absolutely superb. Moments from the heart of Vieux Aix, but so lovely and serene it is difficult to leave. Lilli is the perfect hostess and has thought of everything to make a traveler comfortable. The suites are a miracle of luxury and peace and I cannot recommend this villa highly enough. You will never regret choosing Villa Amara for a stay in Aix-en-Provence.

Nous y avons passé un excellent séjour. La propriétaire était aux petits soins, à l’écoute et toujours disponible. La villa est magnifique, les suites sont spacieuses, très bien décorées. La literie et le linge de lit sont très confortables. Et que dire de la piscine : un havre de paix.

Petit + : la propriétaire nous a raconté l’histoire du lieu : passionnant
