福卡尔基耶 · 别墅里的独立房间 · 1室1床1.0卫 · 可住2人 · Living the art of Provence - Matisse Room @ LMdC
Savor life in the heart of Provence at the historic residence of an art legend. Our rooms, extensive lounges and cultural spaces each reflect a distinct personality - a blend of faithful architectural restoration and the creative vision of renowned contemporary art curator and professor David Galloway. Welcome to his one-time summer home and creative escape, now your own extraordinary base to explore the roots of the region and its vibrant new culture. Welcome to La Maison des Chapitres, a 15th century hôtel particulier in the town of Forcalquier, an artistic hub in the bucolic Luberon region of Provence. Each of our five rooms in the main house tells its own story. The Matisse is a richly decorated ensuite bedroom adjoining our arts library. This tribute to an iconic composition has to be seen to be believed. Room amenities include: -Luxurious queen-sized Kipli natural bed with Frette linens -Bang & Olufsen wireless speaker -Beside wireless device chargers -Provençal toiletries -Armoire for storage -Plush robes -Unique art on display from the Galloway collection You also have access to a variety of house amenities: -Onsite concierge service -Daily continental breakfast (served on the roof terrace, weather permitting) -Self-service espresso and tea on the 3rd floor loggia -Free weights and yoga mats We offer a curated menu of wine, beer, cocktails, and limited snacks in-house, and have a wide variety of recommendations for restaurants in the area, many of which are within easy walking distance.
A really excellent stay in a suite in a Forcalquier mansion, filled with art, history and thousands of books. Basil is a superb host, chef and guide to the town and area, and could not have been kinder or more flexible (including helping us out of a roadside jam on our way in from our bike trip). Strongly recommend afternoon cocktails as well the outstanding breakfast — both with amazing local ingredients on the rooftop terrace. A one of a kind stay not to miss.
The entire place is nothing short of amazing, and the Matisse room was impeccable. I've stayed in a lot of upscale hotels and Airbnbs during my travels, but this one truly stands out. There is so much art everywhere! It's like living in your own private museum which doubles as a comfortable and cozy home. Michael and Basil are wonderful hosts who went out of their way to make my stay comfortable and memorable. Words are too imprecise to describe just how lovely this place is. Highly recommend.
In the heart of the historic city of Forcalquier, you'll find yourself amidst winding streets flanked by medieval stone houses and a vibrant mix of restaurants, shops and artists' ateliers.
For your visit to La Maison des Chapitres, we generally recommend taking the high-speed train to Aix-en-Provence TGV station (50mn drive) or flying to Marseille airport (1h5mn drive), then renting a car. Major agencies like Hertz, Europcar and Sixt have offices in both locations and it's relatively easy to pick up at one location and drop off at the other if, for example you want to travel in from Paris, but head onward to an international destination.
We are happy help guide you closer to the house to drop off or retrieve luggage (via the Rue des Giloux), but we recommend parking at the 'Parking des Cordeliers', a free lot which is a 3-4 min walk from the house.
Alternatively, there is a high-quality regional bus service called Zou which offers service from Marseille airport, Marseille train station, Aix TGV station, and Aix-en-Provence city center to Forcalquier (dropping off about a 3 minute walk from the residence), but schedules are limited. We recommend planning this in advance.
We are also able to help organize private airport transfers upon request.
