From the striking equestrian sculpture in its front courtyard to the swish pool, stylish restaurant terrace and fabulous views of open Camargue countryside, this hotel thoroughly deserves its three stars. There are 31 individually designed rooms, but the icing on the cake is the trio of roulottes (old-fashioned 'gypsy' wagons), which promise the perfect romantic getaway. The breakfast buffet is €15.
