Le Point

From the start, the arrival almost tastes like a small Tuscany, with its long cypress trees, the song flowing from a lily pond and this huge building typical of the Var that seems to indifferently cross the family summers in Provence. Between umbrella pine forests and a bean pool worthy of an intimate Hollywood haven, disconnection is immediate.

And while Marie Sibuet changes decorative and layout elements every year, such as at La Bastide de Marie in Luberon, she claims the timeless character of this 45-key hotel, designed and operated like a large family home. Far from the dictates and the Tropezian rhythm.

First, the rooms have that cachet of those that house the confidences of a loyal visitor every summer... with patinated furniture that seems straight out of the family heritage, wrought iron four-poster beds, cotton veils, cheerful prints reissued from the Liberty archives in addition to other fabrics chosen from major publishers (Missoni, Frey, etc.), and with in the center of each room Open bath a lion's paw bathtub that seems to dialogue with the small lounge area.

Nothing ostentatious, only China and the taste of the houses that once lived. Adjoining each room and suite, a small terrace overlooks this vegetable haven and the calm and serene vision of a blessed address, hidden on the heights of a prestigious bay, alternating azure blue and the luxuriant effect of Mediterranean essences.
