The Pool at Hotel Le Pigonnet

"Cézanne painted Ste-Victoire from what is now the large flower-filled terrace of this enchanting abode, and you can easily imagine former guests Princess Caroline, Iggy Pop, and Clint Eastwood swanning their way through the magnificent, pool-adorned, topiary-accented garden or relaxing in the spacious, light-filled guest rooms"

"Beset with fountains, one half is Provence-styled with a 16m-long (53ft) heated swimming pool, while the other is an English rose garden stocked with places to breakfast, sip a cocktail, or read a book"

"The hotel has a small on-site spa with a treatment room, sauna, hammam, and fitness area, a seasonal outdoor pool, a wood-paneled bar, and a well-regarded restaurant, plus outdoor terrace dining"

"Avoid units next to the road and opt for the more serene pool and garden views"
