“Le Pigonnet's gardens alone, with their fountains and views of Mont Sainte Victoire, make a compelling case for a stay. The proximity to Aix-en-Provence's cultural attractions balances the hotel's serene remove, though I do have some concerns about the ongoing construction. While the staff seems earnest, I would wait until the renovations are complete before booking a stay here.”
