Raisin the bar

Setting

Provençal paysage

Seemingly at odds with its full-on-rural Provençal setting, the Ultimate Provence hotel rather curiously identifies itself as an ‘urban wine estate’. Step inside, however, and it soon becomes clear. The ‘urban’ is in the attitude and the aesthetics. With its dapper young staff and swish mid-century styling, this is far as you can get from a musty rustic winery. But wine still sits very much at the centre of the experience. Whether flopped by the chic swimming pool or swooning over the top-notch cuisine, you’ll likely be doing it with a chilled glass of vin de maison to hand.

Our Favourite Rooms

Set on the ground floor, the Superior with Terrace has grand arched French doors that open out onto a secluded terrace. If you're travelling with little Smiths, the Family Room and Two-Bedroom Apartment both have space for four.

Poolside

At around 18 metres, the enclosed pool is long enough for your morning laps and is heated on chillier days. You’ll find pool towels already on sunbeds when you arrive, and food-and-drink service at the push of a button.

Spa

Set in a verdant and tranquil spot away from the main hotel, the Wellness Centre is a haven of soothingly hued spaces and leafy alfresco spots where you'll also find barrel saunas. Book in for holistic body or facial therapies, including a choice of massages and wraps, couples' treatments, plus manicures or pedicures; we're drawn to the trio of Head Spa rituals.

Packing Tips

Be sure to leave enough space to take home some of the estate’s much-lauded rosé – the beautifully designed bottles alone are worth tipping you over baggage allowance.

Also

Be sure to book in advance for a sommelier-led wine tasting experience, either at the off-lobby bar or in the more exclusive mezzanine area.

어린이

Kids of all ages are welcome, with family-friendly rooms and two-bedroom apartments available. Babysitting can also be arranged for €30 an hour (with advanced booking).

Easy-breezy separates to go with your idyllic alfresco dining spot.

Hotel Restaurant

With little else less than a drive away, Ultimate Provence has ensured that its on-site dining is an experience you’ll happily keep returning to during your stay. It’s mostly centred around the rooftop UP Restaurant, where seasonal ingredients are spun into polished Provençal plates to tables on a prettily arranged alfresco terrace of tables dotted with plant-draped pergolas. Waterside brunch and light lunches are provided by UP Pool, served either on the sunbeds or the pool deck.

Hotel Bar

Forged from a shipping container set on the rooftop, the UP Bar comes alive by night with flickering candles and chilled-out tunes. As well as a handful of the classics, also in the mix are a selection of signature cocktails featuring UP wine.

Last Orders

Lunch is served at UP Restaurant from 12.30pm to 2pm; dinner starts at 7.30pm and ends at 10pm. UP Pool is open from 10am till 6pm. The bar pours from noon till midnight.

Room Service

You can order up from a decent selection of lighter bites during kitchen opening hours.

Planes

The two nearest international airports are Nice and Marseille, at pretty much exactly the same driving time of an hour-and-a-quarter. Both connect to major flight hubs around Europe and beyond. Transfers can be arranged for an extra cost.

Trains

Nearby Les Arcs-Draguignan train station is a 25-minute drive from the hotel and connects directly to Paris in under five hours on the high-speed TGV. Trains run straight into Nice Airport’s Terminal 2 from here, too. Transfers can be arranged but prices depend on the car, number of guests and arrival time at the station.

Automobiles

Your own set of wheels is a must if you’re planning to explore this corner of rural France or the glitzy Côte d'Azur. You’ll find a cluster of car-hire options in Saint Tropez, a 45-minute drive away, or just pick one up at the airport. Parking at the hotel is free.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

As well as wine, the hotel is big on wellness with on-request yoga sessions to help ease yourself into the day. Positioned just on the edge of the Plaine des Maures reserve, you also have a vast natural playground on your doorstep. Choosing from hiking, cycling or horseback riding through pine-scented trails or around the nearby Lac des Escarcets with its striking African-savannah-like landscape. Ask the hotel to pack a picnic (and a bottle of wine) for a lakeside lunch. If you need to entertain the little Smiths, the Aoubré Adventure Park, with its treetop trails, petting zoo and butterfly garden, is a 20-minute drive. Or for a day at the beach, you’re half-an-hour away from the yellow sand of Plage de Grimaud.
