In the summer, slip your boots into the stirrups, don your cowboy hat and set off to explore the magnificent scenery of Montana, with its majestic wildlife, conifers and mountain meadows adorned with wild flowers. In the winter, grab your skis and carve down the slopes of the Rockies, mush your own dog sled team or enjoy a romantic massage for two. The pleasures change with the seasons but the program is always delightfully fulfilling, immersing you in an authentic Western experience. The Blue Ribbon trout streams, horseback riding adventures, vintners' weekends and authentic western cattle drives are only a few of the experiences to embrace during your stay at Triple Creek Ranch.

Triple Creek Ranch Restaurant

Hotel and restaurant in the mountains.

Troisgros is located in the heart of the countryside, at the foot of a vineyard. It is made up of a farmhouse where guests are received, a kitchen workshop where products are transformed, a restaurant, Le Bois sans Feuilles, were sharing is experienced, and a large Italian-style house, Le Bois Dormant, where relaxation may be had. 
All of these spaces have a modern soul and are surrounded by fields, woods, a lake, garden, and orchard. The taste of César, all guided by the simplicity in cooking, was without a doubt inspired by this new setting.

Memórias

In the city of Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Vetera Matera has installed its guest rooms and lounges in some of the Sassi, troglodyte dwellings dug into the mountainside in the Paleolithic era. This original undertaking lets guests explore the city and region while staying in this admirably restored world of stone. The contemporary décor, all of understated elegance, perfectly complements the rough, natural rock and the rooms’ broad windows look out onto scenery that has been the backdrop for countless film productions. The accommodations boast large terraces and are set on the heights of the city’s historic center, a district woven together by a tangle of alleys and spectacular staircases. The gourmet restaurant at Vetera Matera showcases specialties of the Basilicata region, while the spa invites you to slip into relaxation pools carved into the rock itself.

It has been more than a century since the first hot springs hotel opened in Taiwan, and it became a destination thanks to the healing properties of the water. Villa 32 builds on this tradition and enhances it further by drawing on the delights of nature that surround it. Located in Beitou, tucked away between impressive mountains in a geothermal valley, this spacious villa has only five rooms – each with its own hot springs tub. Ming-Hong Chiu has succeeded in crafting a delicate and relaxing atmosphere by artfully combining the surrounding natural elements: water, wood, trees and stone, in the midst of lush vegetation covered in mist from the hot springs.

Just a few steps from Lake Orta, Villa Crespi is a spectacular property built in 1879. The villa’s arabesque architecture, stunning gardens and the hospitality of Chef Antonino Cannavacciuolo and his wife Cinzia make a stay here magical. Antonino’s masterful cuisine is deeply influenced by the places and flavours experienced during his professional journey. His menu is an itinerary from southern to northern Italy, starting with a brochette of scallops and scampi and ending with pigeon and foie gras. From Villa Crespi you can contemplate a magnificent Italy, just 45 minutes away from Milan Malpensa: the medieval village of Orta and the Island of San Giulio, the famous site of Sacro Monte, and the Lake Maggiore.

Paul Cézanne missed Aix terribly whenever he left, and never ceased to be inspired by its beauty. Many after him succumbed to the charm of this town and the ambience of this Florentine residence. The rooms are sumptuously decorated, and open onto a private garden filled with the fragrance of lavender. The cuisine pays tribute to Provence with dishes like sautéed loin of lamb and aubergine caviar with olives, black garlic sauce and fried basil. Try the famous local speciality of Calisson, sweets flavoured with melon and orange. Villa Gallici offers a special “Cézanne package”, which includes a visit to the painter’s studio.

This fine early 20th-century mansion on the banks of Lake Annecy is a rhapsody of blue and gold: the blue of the façade and the lake viewed from the terrace meets the golden yellow of the wood cladding the walls and the sun that shines into the guestrooms through the large picture windows. This house offers an intimate setting with a warm, cosy ambiance. And all around is resplendent nature, as celebrated by the Chef's cuisine. Since 2010, Yoann Conte, following in the footsteps of Marc Veyrat, has drawn his inspiration from the passing seasons and their plants to reinterpret local cuisine, serving, for example, fish from the lake with fresh herbs and alpine flowers.
