Hôtel Birdy by HappyCulture ★★★★

Bonjour and bienvenue! Rest assured that you’ve chosen the perfect nesting spot for your southern French sojourn. Brimming with exotic character and blessed with beautiful views, Hôtel Birdy**** is just a stone’s throw away from the quaint streets of Aix-en-Provence.

B is for…bright. Enjoy the eye-catching décor and blooming greenery at every turn and take the time to admire the bird cage-style seats in the vibrant lobby. The golf-side luxurious room is no less striking; prepare for fabulously exotic wallpaper and accessories.

I is for...Idyll. When you’ve sufficiently feathered your nest, gently flutter back down to the shimmering outdoor pool. Whether you’re taking a refreshing dip whilst gazing at the Montagne Sainte-Victoire or getting lost in your favourite novel, it’s absolute bliss.

R is for…Relax. With the city of Aix-en-Provence on your doorstep, you’re only 20 minutes away from a gorgeous meander through cobbled squares fringed with boutique cafés, whimsical shops and oodles of French charm.

D is for…Downtime. There’s no need to seek any further than the hotel’s own restaurant for the mouth-watering flavours of French cuisine; chef Thierry Bernet offers a menu awash with local produce. Night owls can end their evening with a delectable aperitif from the bar – Pastis, Kir Royal or Porto Rouge, what will it be tonight?

Y is for…Yearning. It might be difficult to leave this new-found haven of relaxation as the days undoubtedly fly by, but fret not; Hôtel Birdy**** will be waiting to welcome you back with open arms next time.
