VILLA AMARA

We enjoyed this lovely place so much! Thanks to your warm hospitality we felt welcomed and relaxed. Such a beautiful place, so close to the city, a hidden paradise. We are looking forward to being back in 2024 for the Aix Festival – and of course staying here.

Gracious hospitality. So enjoyed this place, so beautiful, well decorated. Thanks also for the healthy breakfast and the useful advice.

What a perfect stay, in a perfect place! There was nothing lacking and we are so sorry to leave. We would return to Aix just stay at Villa Amara. Thank you, thank you!

Un petit séjour inoubliable dans ce coin de paradis ! Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la qualité de l’accueil, nos échanges avec l'hôte et ses recommandations. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

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.
