Modern, architect-designed buildings show off their clean lines in the heart of 124 acres of magnificent parkland. Gaze through the huge picture windows of the guestrooms at a magnificent panorama of mountains, not to be beaten by the views of Mont Blanc to be enjoyed from the restaurant’s panoramic terrace. Between the French cuisine with a modern twist, Italian gastronomy, and the wellness rituals lavished by the spa, both mind and body will become soothed and relaxed. Outdoors, golf lovers will enjoy the synthetic greens and the 18 tees of the innovatively eco-friendly 9-hole course. Finally, an artificial lake is dedicated to water sports.

The Kanamean Nishitomiya is one of the ryokans which have survived in the modern surroundings of downtown Kyoto. The wooden architecture hosts only eight suites which lead to a little Japanese garden with seasonal flowers. Futon, tatamis, bamboo furniture… true serenity is prevailing. Mr and Mrs Nishida, the fifth generation of hoteliers in this property, welcome you personally, respecting the Japanese tradition of hospitality. Like the very beautiful crockery in which the dishes are served, your hosts look after every detail inspired by the history of the Honeyanocho district, renowned for crafted fans, which have given their name to the hotel.

In this acclaimed traditional Ryotei restaurant on the outskirts of Osaka, Japan’s landmark city, Kashiwaya Osaka Senriyama offers modern Japanese food in a dining room designed in the “Sukiya” style, Japan’s traditional format for tea ceremonies: Fusuma sliding doors, shoji paper screens, tatami mats and Tokonoma reception rooms, each executed in a contemporary style. The menu is limited to just eight dishes, which are changed every month. The specialities of the famous Chef Hideaki Matsuo include Amadai, a dish made with grilled tile fish marinated in a salt shrimp “shiokara” dip, and puffer roe boiled in sake, floating on a turnip soup.

A few kilometres from the ocean, facing the Pyrenees and the Larrun, the Auberge Basque offers a calming pause in a territory full of character. A traditional inn on one side, a modernist cube on the other, the establishment offers a beautiful architectural contrast that can also be found in the cuisine. In love with the Basque Country and trained in the finest restaurants of Paris, chef Cédric Béchade joyfully blends the authenticity of regional products with the refinement of his dishes, conceived as contemporary works of art. Several elegantly decorated rooms will have you wishing to extend your discovery of the Basque mountains.

With its contemporary decor and its clever play of light and shadow, guaranteeing the intimacy of each table, the restaurant L’Effervescence borrows from the mastery of art museums and showrooms of diamond dealers to spotlight its creations. Evoking purity and refinement, it offers an ambience rarely found in the heart of bustling Tokyo — the ideal setting for the exceptional cuisine of chef Shinobu Namae, who intertwines French and Japanese traditions in a sublime whirlwind of creativity. Boasting freshness beyond compare, each ingredient is carefully selected and worked to meet the vision of a man who learned his trade under chef Michel Bras. Seeking “to inspire people to discover the magic of the invisible world”, he exercises the greatest respect for the environment as he weaves together such elements as sea urchin, truffles and porcini mushrooms to create what he simply calls La Mer.

“Never be satisfied.” Franco-Japanese chef Yoshinori Shibuya, the perfectionist, has never forgotten this snippet of advice given to him by the great French chef Alain Chapel. Constantly pushing his creativity to new heights, Chef Shibuya has followed in the footsteps of Chapel and Robuchon, his two inspirations, to create a top restaurant in Osaka. In a minimalist setting, decorated with bronzes and fabrics, you can savour French-inspired marvels, with a deep respect for the products, including the famous coriander lobster salad, paupiettes of sole with foie gras and lamb piccata. Perhaps perfection does exist after all.

Countless generations of the Gleize family have looked after this 18th century post house. The balconies, the mosaiced walkways and the almond-green shutters are the work of Jany, the latest in the line. In the kitchen he reinvents the Provencal recipes of grandmother Gabrielle, with traditional flavours. Sweets are a tribute to Jany’s father, Pierre, a confectioner. Sample the delicious lavender honey ice cream served in it’s bee hive. A vegetable and a landscaped garden blend flowers, fruit and vegetables. Much more than simply a stopover, this is a voyage for the senses and a stepping stone to reaching perfect happiness.

Perched in the hills above Honfleur, close to the Vieux Bassin (‘Old Harbor’), La Ferme Saint-Siméon occupies a unique place in fine art history. Famous artists and writers such as Monet, Courbet and Baudelaire have all found inspiration here, captivated by the shifting light of the landscape. For over two centuries, this iconic establishment has been a favorite destination for pleasure seekers and dreamers alike.
Boasting enviable views of the Seine estuary, the former home of local legend ‘Mère Toutain’ looks like it belongs on a postcard. Set amid a 17-acre orchard, the old cider press and the half-timbered pavilion house rooms that blend authenticity with contemporary style. Nestled in the heart of the historic kitchen garden, the Spa Potager–once an artist’s studio–offers a chance to unwind completely. Whether at Les Impressionnistes Restaurant or Bistro La Boucane, seasonal cuisine is inspired by the local terroir and the sea. The property is an excellent starting point for exploring Honfleur, its art galleries and the inspiring landscapes where Impressionism was conceived.

“Authentically up-to-date”, this is how Éric Girardin describes La Maison des Têtes in Colmar; undoubtedly one of the most beautiful historical buildings in Alsace. Built in 1609, this bourgeois residence owes its name to the one hundred and six small stone heads adorning its façade, behind which the couple has been dispensing their exceptional savoir-faire since 2015. After all, La Maison des Têtes is not only a traditional brasserie, but also a discreetly luxurious Michelin-starred restaurant and stylish hotel.
While the historic brasserie serves mainly local dishes, the restaurant transcends all boundaries. Within its sleek interior, indulge in a “journey into the world of plants” and savour a “puffed” Munster cheese with Marc de Gewurztraminer. Cap it off with the sweet “broutilles & canailleries”, before returning to your intimately charming room, where contemporary decor accentuates stunning traditional woodwork.

Far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, you can enjoy at La Torre del Visco the glorious scenery of a valley untouched by man and the modern world.

The owner grows her own organic fruit and vegetables and makes her own olive oil for the restaurant. Inside the beautiful labyrinthine buildings, immerse yourself in a novel by the fireside, play chess or piano. During the night you can observe the stars on the terrace.
