"Just across the bay from Bandol, at the end of a crescent-shaped beach, is the Hostellerie La Farandole, a compact yet luxurious boutique-style resort built in a contemporary Provençal idiom. Sea views are almost universal — a few junior suites face the pool instead — and the rooms, at all levels, balance French Riviera glamour with contemporary simplicity. The in-room comforts are high-end, as is the spa, with its diversity of health and beauty treatments. The rooftop terrace is home to the summertime restaurant, while in the winter the interior dining room serves as the hotel’s heart." - Tablet Hotels
