Maison Dauphine, Aix-en-Provence

Description: Maison Dauphine

Enjoying a privileged location in the heart of the Mazarin district, between the Cours Mirabeau and the Fontaine des Quatre Dauphins, Maison Dauphine is set in a beautifully restored Aix-en-Provence town house. Ideal for visiting this beautiful city, this luxury boutique property is just a few steps away from many of the city's most important sights and monuments, including the Musée Granet and the Musée Arbaud. The Saint-Sauveur cathedral and Cézanne's studio are just ten and twenty minutes away on foot respectively. Slightly further afield, Provence has many delights to offer visitors: Montagne Sainte-Victoire, made famous by Cézanne; the Luberon and its villages; Les Baux-de-Provence; Cassis; Marseille, and many other hidden gems.

Maison Dauphine consists of three individual apartments, one on each of the three upper floors of this charming building. The ground floor is occupied by the proprietor's contemporary art gallery. All three apartments are fully equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay, and guests can choose to take advantage of the optional hotel service, which includes daily breakfast in a restaurant in Cours Mirabeau. Each apartment has an area of around 50 square metres and occupies one floor of the house, with a double, east-west exposure.
