This honey-coloured villa close to the opulent old town of Aix-en-Provence is a decadently decorated Francophile’s dream. Lavish interiors, sumptuous fabrics and a poolside Cézanne would have been proud to paint, Villa Gallici is a Provençal masterpiece. Its grounds live up to this idyll, too – they’re lusciously dense with 100-year-old plane and cypress trees.
