"Tucked beneath the red rocks of the Massif de l’Estérel in a quiet seaside village, this recently opened château repurposes a 17th-century soap factory and 19th-century castle into an intimate retreat with 34 rooms and 10 suites across three buildings. The design draws on aquatic motifs and playful coastal touches, and facilities include a pool, spas offering Kos Paris and MyBlend by Clarins treatments, a beach club, and a standout restaurant where chef Francesco Fezza highlights creative dishes such as cuttlefish tagliatelle and a Brittany crab plated with Oscietra caviar." - Mary Winston Nicklin
