What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Exposed pine beams and the occasional antique fixture display the hotel’s farmhouse heritage, while soft solid pinks and greens, smart contemporary furnishings, and such inventive gestures as the green room’s mezzanine-level bathroom showcase the family’s decorative talents.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The flat Camargue delta spreads in every direction, where salt marshes and briny lagoons run toward the sea.

The rooms
High-timbered ceilings and terracotta tiles anchor the bedrooms, styled with soft pinks, sage greens, and iron-framed beds.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The unheated outdoor pool sits bordered by lawns and pink oleanders, looking out across the estate's pastures.
At the table
Candlelit dinners are served beneath a blooming wisteria canopy, using organic rice and produce harvested across the estate.
How it began
The Bon family began breeding Camargue bulls here in 1980, opening their seventeenth-century farmhouse to guests in 1994.
