The Dream Team

What is it about the French?! They just really understand hospitality…maybe it is genetic.

I recently enjoyed time at four hotels across France – and visited at least 20 more. They were all wonderful and each offers something unique for each person. From Le Meurice in Paris, to Chateau Eza in the village of Eze, France offers a plethora fairytale hotel experiences. The one that I would return to tomorrow if I could would be La Villa Gallici in Aix-en-Provence.

We arrived late Рaround 8:30 in the evening - the welcome was overwhelmingly warm and generous. Flowers, fresh fruit and water were in our room to refresh us from the day. Nicholas (pictured on the left), is the delightful person responsible for guest relations - though he is more like your personal attach̩ while at Villa Gallici. He is quintessentially French and unbelievably vivacious. Dominique (pictured on the right), the charming General Manager, works tirelessly to insure every guest has a picture perfect and truly Provincial experience. Anette, the beautiful front desk clerk went far above and beyond with discretion and joy. The waiter, the night clerk, the day clerk, all were flawless and clearly love being a part of such a delightful hotel.

The commitment at La Villa Gallici is to making you feel as if you are at home (a grand home…) in Provence. This ‘Dream Team’ is truly doing it very well!

Definately a MUST DO while in France!
