"The epitome of contemporary calm, La Reserve Ramatuelle hides away from the Côte d’Azur crowds in the pine-shaded hills, 20 minutes inland from Saint Tropez. The traditional terra-cotta tiles dressing its villa and suite roofs belie the minimalist feast inside—the work of Jean-Michel Wilmotte who brought the splendid simplicity of the landscape indoors with spoiling effect. The pool scene (apparently ripped from a book of Slim Aarons prints) is animated by golden sunlight and endless glasses of rosé. Jasmine clings to the air and Mini Mokes whizz guests to La Reserve’s Pampelonne outpost, where plates of ceviche and tomatoes sprinkled in truffle line up like the cream umbrellas shading those digesting a long, lavish lunch." - Rosalyn Wikeley
