What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
The style in the rooms is classic farmhouse rather than high-design, but it’s contemporary all the same, and the comforts are quite up to date.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A quiet footpath wanders 300 meters through pines to Gigaro Beach, where private loungers look out toward the Îles d'Hyères.
The rooms
Exposed ceiling beams and calm earth tones look out over parkland, while secluded treehouses sit elevated in the surrounding pines.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated outdoor pool curves across parkland lawns, and a second heated pool sits indoors beside garden-facing windows.
The gym
Cardio equipment and free weights sit beneath vaulted wooden ceilings, facing windows that open to the surrounding greenery.
Restaurant
La Palmeraie
Michelin-starred dinners unfold under tall palms, with seasonal menus drawing produce straight from the estate's organic vegetable garden.
At the table
La Bastide pours estate-grown wines beside an arched fireplace, hosting live jazz sessions on the terrace every Friday.
How it began
The Rocchietta-Montloin family has owned the estate since 1946, gradually transforming a modest guest house into a vineyard retreat.
