What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
The location, between the coastline and the Corniche, feels a world apart from the bustle of the city, and lends the hotel something of a seaside resort atmosphere.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Tucked along the rocky cove of Anse de Maldormé in Endoume, secret coastal stairways lead directly down to the sea.
The rooms
Light-filled rooms look directly toward the Frioul islands, accented in lavender and gold with soundproof glass framing the open horizon.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated saltwater pool sits above the rocky cove, looking straight across the water toward Château d'If.
The spa & gym
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant Le Petit Nice
Gérald Passédat cooks three-Michelin-starred menus focused on the sea, drawing on dozens of local, line-caught fish species.
Restaurant
Le 1917
The shaded terrace bar pours evening cocktails and serves bistronomic Mediterranean plates looking out over the water.
How it began
Founded as a seaside villa in 1917, the property has remained under the continuous stewardship of the Passédat family for three generations.
