La Bastide Saint Antoine
Refined Provençal country house — intimate, gastronomic-first, unhurried. Not a beach resort. Think carved stone terraces, orange trees in pots, and the smell of lavender drifting through open windows.
Book the cooking-day experience with Chef Chibois well in advance — group size is limited and it sells out for popular dates.
Why It Matters
Home to Jacques Chibois' 1-Michelin-star restaurant and a proud member of Les Grandes Tables du Monde. The property earned its 5-star rating in 2009 and joined Relais & Châteaux in 2000. The wine cellar alone — over 25,000 bottles across 1,000 varieties — justifies the detour. Sit on the terrace in summer and you'll see why people keep coming back.
A 17th-century Provençal country house turned 5-star Relais & Châteaux hotel, sitting in a 5-hectare park of ancient olive trees above Grasse. Jacques Chibois acquired and restored it in 1996, building something that feels more like a private home than a hotel — 16 rooms and suites, a Michelin-starred restaurant open to the public, and views that sweep from the Esterel hills down to the Bay of Cannes. The food is the main event here.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Contemporary Apartment
The most independent accommodation option on the property — a full apartment in the contemporary wing for longer stays or groups wanting more space and privacy. Details on exact size and layout are best confirmed directly with the hotel.
VariesContemporary Deluxe Room
Located in the extension wing of La Bastide, these rooms trade terracotta for pearl grey, marble, and clean wood lines. Still warm — still very much a proper hotel room — but with a more modern sensibility. Some have a private terrace with a jacuzzi.
Double or TwinContemporary Prestige Suite
The flagship rooms — 75 to 80 m² with a panoramic view, a lounge with fireplace, a large private terrace, and a private outdoor jacuzzi. Three guests maximum. This is the one to book for a honeymoon or milestone birthday. The views over the hills and sea are the main draw.
King or Twin · 77 sqmContemporary Suite
A generous contemporary suite in the newer wing — elegant and subdued, with pearl grey tones, marble, and hardwood. Fireplace in select rooms. Expect a separate lounge, terrace, and a spacious bathroom.
King or TwinProvençal Classic Room
The entry point at La Bastide — and still very much a proper room. At 22–25 m², it's not enormous but it's comfortable for two, with garden and courtyard views. Think terracotta floors from the 18th century, traditional embroidered bedspreads, authentic Provençal furniture, and a bathroom with both a bathtub and a massage shower. One configuration is adapted for guests with reduced mobility.
Queen or Twin · 23 sqm
Provençal Deluxe Room
A step up from the Classic — more space, and typically with a terrace opening out toward the gardens. The same Provençal sensibility runs through: warm wood tones stained in regional colours, traditional furnishings, fireplace in select rooms, and spacious bathrooms with both tub and massage shower.
Double or TwinProvençal Suite
The largest of the Provençal-style rooms — a full suite with the same regional character: terracotta, embroidered textiles, warm colour palette. Spacious enough for genuine comfort, with a separate sitting area and terrace.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
A full day in the Michelin-star kitchen working alongside Chef Chibois and his team. Participants rotate through stations, moving between observation and hands-on practice. The bravest guests accompany Chibois to the market in the morning. Limited group size — book well ahead.
An on-site fitness suite for guests wanting to keep up a workout routine during their stay. No further equipment details are listed on the official site.
A seasonal outdoor pool set within the park, with sun loungers and views over the surrounding Mediterranean landscape. A jacuzzi terrace overlooks the valley. Not enormous, but the setting — olive trees, flowering gardens, hills beyond — is the point.
The 5-hectare grounds contain over 1,400 ancient olive trees (some thousands of years old) along with charming stone paths, terraced fields, and various Mediterranean species. Benches are placed throughout for reading or just sitting still. The views from the top of the park over the Esterel Massif and the sea are the best free thing the hotel offers.
A traditional pétanque ground set in the park. Good for a lazy afternoon when the pool loses its appeal or the sun gets too strong.
An introduction to wine tasting for groups of 2 to 10 people, drawing on a cellar of 1,600 wines and approximately 17,000 bottles. Sessions cover grape varieties, regional styles, and include a vineyard visit. Led by French, English, and Japanese-speaking sommeliers. Starts at €65 per person, depending on wines selected.
