A quintessential Provençal mansion, Le Pigonnet has been a celebrated hotel run by the same family since 1924. It has a unique atmosphere of comfort and hospitality which has been eloquently described as: 'an isle apart, set in the city'. Secluded bowers formed by flowering shrubs and hedges; mellowed urns, fountains and a swimming pool shaded by cypresses, umbrella pines and terracotta-roofed shelters creates a pre-Raphaelite idyll. Entering through its monumental gates, this 19th century mansion with its Genoese-style towers appears as a breathtaking sight. Inside, the 49 bedrooms are decorated in classic style with their regional fabrics and furniture putting you completely at ease. As the bright, Mediterranean sunlight streams through the windows, the colours and detail of comfortable furniture and elegant drapes positively glow. Lovers of Provençal cuisine will have cause to celebrate their discovery of Le Pigonnet.
