La Palmeraie - Château de Valmer

Nestling between vineyards, orchards and the sea, this early-20C hotel-restaurant, the epitome of special occasion decadence, reclines in a lush Mediterranean garden home to hundred-year-old palm and magnolia trees. Burgundy-born Alexandre Fabris draws much of his inspiration for three Provençal-style set menus (one vegetarian) from the estate’s cottage garden as he deftly juxtaposes textures and flavours. This alfresco restaurant, open from mid-May to late September, invites you to take a seat in the garden or beneath the pergola on the terrace.
