Three days in/around Aix -- one hotel or more?

I will have three days in and around Aix and plan to spend one day in Aix itself, one day in various Luberon villages (with a car for the day) and one day in Marseille. Does it make sense to spend all three nights in Aix, or should I plan to switch hotels and stay in the Luberon? My trip is over the holidays, so it will get dark quite early, and I don't know how the driving is in this area. I will likely only have the car for the one day we are in the Luberon and will rely on trains/public transportation for the rest.

Also open to hotel suggestions! Thanks.

I would just stay in Aix rather than move for a night
Driving in that area is quite easy
Train to Marseille

This is not an energetic time of year in Luberon villages. Some stores and restaurants will be closed, if the winds are blowing it will be cold. It's best to stay in Aix but be prepared for inside restaurant meals that time of year. Marseille, a large city, will be livelier than Aix.
