San Felice is not only a Dumas novel: at the Hôtel du Castellet, it is also a swish, imaginative bistro! The menu is deliberately concise, with a seasonal line-up and a mouth-watering focus on matured meats and fish flame-cooked over hot coals. The terrace by the swimming pool commands a knockout view of the golf course and greenery. Treat yourself to the lunchtime "Menu Gourmand" set menu (daily). And on Sundays, it's all about the barbecue!

In the heart of Provence’s hilly terraces, the terrace of this Farm Inn commands a staggering view over the valley and the Sainte-Baume range. Produce from the estate takes pride of place on the menu (the chickens have the run of the pinewood, orchard, olive grove, herb and vegetable garden), which is healthily and creatively crafted by the chef and paired with estate wines. Pretty rooms and cottages also available.
