Your New Year's holiday in the sun
The location
Your accommodation 15 minutes from Sainte Croix du Verdon
Imagine yourself in the heart of Provence, in the sumptuous natural park of the Gorges du Verdon. Here, Olivia and Rami, a passionate duo, open the doors to their haven of peace, designed as a chambre d'hôtes where you immediately feel at home. The house embodies the Mediterranean art of living with elegance and simplicity, and seduces with its minimalist architecture and warm nuances.
In every corner, a space invites you to relax: between the sunny terraces, the comfortable, tastefully decorated rooms, the spa area and the breathtaking panoramas, all you have to do is let yourself be carried away.
Yoga classes take place indoors, in a dedicated practice room. It's a warm cocoon, with a crackling fireplace that adds a soothing atmosphere to your practice.
In winter, the Verdon promises a preserved natural setting, where a soothing, almost mystical atmosphere reigns. Away from the hustle and bustle of summer, the region regains its tranquillity, offering peaceful trails ideal for meditative walks and nature hikes. Winter light sublimates the landscape, revealing breathtaking panoramas of sheer cliffs and turquoise waters. Sunrises and sunsets, tinged with golden and rosy hues, add a touch of magic to this grandiose setting, for a moment of deep rejuvenation.
