History
Villa Gallici is an eighteenth-century Provençal bastide on the leafy Beisson hillside above Aix-en-Provence, once associated with the Galicy family. In 1992 the historic residence was transformed into an intimate luxury hotel by Gilles Dez, Charles Montemarco and Daniel Jouve, who filled it with sumptuous Provençal fabrics, toile de Jouy and antiques.
The hotel later came under the ownership of the Polito family, founders of the Baglioni Hotels group, and holds a French five-star rating as a member of Relais & Châteaux. Its cypress-shaded gardens and terraces evoke a private Italianate villa moments from the centre of Cézanne's Aix.
