Hotel du Castellet, Le Castellet

Less than half an hour from the medieval village of Le Castellet and the beaches of Sanary-sur-Mer, a stone's throw from the legendary Paul Ricard circuit, Hotel du Castellet, formerly reserved for pilots, has transformed into a luxurious Mediterranean retreat, joyfully blending courtyards and lavender-lined pools, trellises, and sun-drenched terraces, swimming pools, tennis courts, golf, a spa, and a proper pétanque court. If its farmhouses and villas house 43 rooms in the colors of the Provence, one of them, named «Edmond Dantès,» benefits from a specially dedicated service. This conference and seminar center can accommodate up to 120 people in 3 rooms.

At the end of the day, after a stop at the table of Christophe Bacquié's former second-in-command, a chef with three Michelin stars in Le Castellet for 10 years, we're not unhappy to surrender to the cushions on the terrace, letting ourselves be lulled by the cicadas.
