Once a winter retreat for British aristocrats, Villa Almanarre has been lovingly brought back to life as one of the Côte d'Azur's most elegant stays. Original Art Nouveau details sit alongside sherbet hues, bespoke joinery, contemporary furnishings, floral motifs, graphic patterns and natural stone. Outside, exotic gardens tumble towards a pool and private hammam, all framed by sweeping views across the Mediterranean.
Hyères, the charming seaside town between Marseilles and Saint-Tropez, is where Lilou occupies a former private home with real character and warmth. The garden is the heart of the property; the rooms are individually decorated with a personal touch. The surrounding area offers salt marshes, the Giens peninsula, and some of the Riviera's most pristine beaches without the summer crowds.
