An elegant bastide high up in Haut Var with outstanding views across Provence and surrounded by acres of aromatic pines, olive trees and lavender and on the edge of one of the prettiest villages in France. La Bastide de Tourtour is a truly relaxing idyll with an outdoor pool and jacuzzi, tennis court, helipad and a gastronomic restaurant.
Although built in 1967, the use of traditional Provençal building materials adds to the historic look and feel, particularly in the tower. Attractive stone arches in the restaurant, coupled with gilt furnishings and tastefully decorated rooms, some with balconies, create an air of sophistication.
Opt for a game of boules, followed by a dip in the pool, or wander up to the sleepy hillside village of Tourtour. Return for simple yet truly delicious, French cuisine in the restaurant.
