Villa Amygdalus France

Villa Amygdalus offers a vast, captivating holiday home in the heart of Pays d’Aix. With eleven elegant rooms and suites, this 17th Century villa can host large groups of up to twenty-two guests. The villa is situated amid a 22-hectare historical park, within a 300-hectare vineyard estate, providing beautiful views in every direction you look.
This historic vineyard has been running for over 2000 years, flourishing inside the crater of Provence’s only volcano. The geography and excellent soil quality are the perfect ingredients for making exceptional wines, several of which you should try during your stay. They are also the perfect ingredients for an exceptional holiday! The distinctive architecture of the building gives a little insight into the charm and character of the interiors, but the immaculate finishes and décor that stretch to every corner of each room have to be seen to be understood. Restored to the highest of standards, each room speaks to a different moment in history, from 17th century Spanish décor to 1850’s English styles.
The bedrooms range from elegant double’s to sophisticated suites, all offering plenty of room for you to embrace some privacy alone or as a couple, and all boasting beautiful views across the grounds. The views range from across the garden and vines, to the cour d’honneur and nymphaeum. Every room is equipped with its own bathroom, dressing room, television and coffee machine, as well as all the extra comforts you might expect from a top-quality hotel.
Outside, Villa Amygdalus offers even more enchanting spaces. The heated swimming pool is bordered by sun beds perfect for relaxing in the summer sun. Afternoons can be spent strolling around the landscaped gardens, taking in the shades of lush greenery, and stopping for a picnic under some vines. Whether you are looking to learn more about the vineyards and wine, to explore the nearby historic towns, or to treat yourself to wellness treatments, tennis and cooking classes, there is so much to see and do around Villa Amygdalus, making it the ultimate holiday base in southern France.
If the rooms at Villa Amygdalus don’t offer enough room for your group, then the beautiful
Villa Berana can be rented alongside, with five more bedrooms on the same estate. Villa Amygdalus is located in the heart of Pays d’Aix, within a beautiful 22-hectare historical park, as part of a 300-hectare vineyard estate. The geography and excellent soil quality are the perfect ingredients for making exceptional wines, several of which you should try during your stay. They are also the perfect ingredients for an unforgettable holiday or celebration!
Conveniently located just a 25-minute drive from Aix-en-Provence, the villa is in a great position for exploring this corner of France. Aix-en-Provence is a vibrant city, alive with historical sights, museums, markets and restaurants, providing you with plenty of cultural and Provencal encounters. The city and surrounding countryside were in fact the inspiration for numerous artists including Renoir, Cezanne and Picasso who drew on the beauty of this region through their artforms. Aix-en-Provence offers all the good of Provence in one place; great food, good wine, French boutiques, near the mountains, sea and within driving distance of the pretty lavender fields.
The surrounding countryside is just as beautiful, with picturesque views that will have you pulling your camera out at every turn. There are miles of vineyards, acres of lavender fields, world-class food and a vast array of small market towns that you can explore day by day. Popular among hikers and cyclists, foot and bike are the best means of transport for exploring this beautiful area. 
For beach lovers, the beautiful Cote d’Azur is only a two-hour drive away, or the sweeping sands of Plage de la Grande Mer can be reached within one hour. Along the coast, past Marseille, the beaches within Calanques National Park are renowned. A Calanques is a tucked away cove which seem to be dramatically cut out of the limestone cliffs. There are a series of these coves, some easier to access than others. The easiest way to visit is by taking a boat from Cassis harbour which takes around 30-minutes to get to the first stop. If you prefer to hike then you can walk to the striking Calanque d’En Vau in around an hour from Port Mio, the view as you approach the cove is well worth the walk!At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
