Château de Valmer

Côte d'Azur


This fabulous 19th-century wine-producer’s mansion is for nature bods with a penchant for luxury. Sleep above the vines in a cabane perchée (tree house), stroll scented vegetable and herb gardens, and play hide-and-seek around century-old palm and olive trees. It's located between La Croix-Valmer and Gigaro.
