2,000 years ago, under the reign of the Roman Emperor Augustus, the Celtic Tricastins tribe settled in the Provence Drôme region, more specifically in the commune of Augusta Tricastinorum, today known as Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux. In tribute to this great heritage, the Villa Augusta retains the feel of the Roman era in its golden ochre facade. The lights, colours and fragrances are redolent of an antique Roman tavern and the 200 year-old cedar tree is the perfect spot for a picnic. A master’s residence, with its simple but elegant interiors, Villa Augusta is conducive to total relaxation, notably by the pool surrounded by lush nature. The local specialty – black Melanosporum truffle – is featured in the hotel’s cuisine and special excursions are organised to hunt for this precious commodity.

“We created this restaurant in the same way we create our dishes: the first ingredient was our imagination.” At the age of 24, the famous Pourcel twin brothers found this abandoned house in the centre of Montpellier and it was love at first sight. These Grands Chefs opened their first property here: a “garden” where the flavours of Languedoc and the Mediterranean are manifestly sweet or salty, mild or bitter but always a joy. The attention to detail here is remarkable and there is a glorious twin assault on the senses. The hotel’s décor was entrusted to Bruno Borrione who bestowed a contemporary look, with a unique design to express a true art de vivre.

Nobody loves Marseilles more than the Passédat family. To love Marseilles means to love the Mediterranean, inseparable from the city, just like Gérald Passédat’s cuisine. Fish, naturally, is the basis of his cooking; fished locally, including little-known fish such as galinette and chapon which, served with shellfish, give you the delicious impression of being immersed in a sea of blue. The cult dish of course is “Bouille Abaisse”, light, iodized and zephyrlike, but also the famous loup Lucie (sea bass). Save some room for the desserts which are “extravagant”, admits the chef. As for the view of the sea, it is everywhere… from the terrace and from the restaurant. And since it’s a dreamlike view, you can continue to enjoy it as far as your bedroom, with its spacious and open view of the horizon…

Discover this little summer palace with old hexagonal floor tiles in red brick, ceramic friezes and Moroccan tiles in the bathrooms.
