Terre Blanche Resort

With a Mediterranean climate and its own distinctive local and regional delights, Provence is a delightful choice for a stay, with Terre Blanche being a perfect choice of hotel from which to enjoy this rich and varied region of France.

Set in the southeastern part of France, the Provence has a long history of visitors being enamored with its unique charms. It is originally the first Roman province, hence the name, beyond the Alps. Travelers, both permanent and temporary, have been attracted to the region for over 2,000 years. To this day, it remains one of France's most enduring, popular, and beautiful tourist destinations.

Location

The Terre Blanche hotel encapsulates the charms of Provence. It is in an area surrounded by hilltop villages and medieval villages that combine the delights of a modern hotel with this region's rustic history. Complete with spa and world-class golf courses, which makes this hotel popular with Monaco set, it offers much to guests.

Although nestled in a remote part of Provence, the hotel is only 45 minutes from Nice airport. Additionally, it is just 30 minutes from the glamorous location of Cannes. This guarantees you a combination of luxury privacy and quiet, along with access to the glamour of the Mediterranean coast.

Facilities

Now owned by an art-loving German tycoon and once owned by Sean Connery, Terre Blanche, Provence has an infinity pool. There are also two world-class state-of-the-art golf courses, Le Château and Le Riou, and a top-quality spa and fitness center. Moreover, the spacious nature of the hotel makes it feel more like a country or golf club than simply a hotel.

As with many hotels, Wi-Fi is available throughout most of the resort, with room service and laundry as part of the standard service. Additionally, the resort is appropriately family-friendly, considering its luxury nature. A kids club also operates regular activities.

Two swimming pools are there for families, hotel-provided babysitters, as well as access to tennis, boules, and even donkeys or beekeeping. So there certainly is a range of activities available for children to keep them occupied throughout their stay.

Rooms and Suites

The guest rooms at Terre Blanche, Provence, are based on the villa living concept rather than traditional hotel rooms. The 115 suites and villas have private terraces. Moreover, there is an emphasis on natural light and exposed brick walls.

The spaces also have terracotta tiling and light-colored walls. This highlights the natural feel of the suites and villas, with a refreshing and calming feel. Additionally, king or queen beds are in the suites, with separate living room areas and generously sized marble bathrooms, including heated floors.

The larger villas also include a Jacuzzi or private pool, with attractive views of the local landscapes. Some include a sofa bed, kitchen and dining facilities, or even a cinema. For all rooms, TVs with DVD players, safes, and an espresso machine come as standard. Many rooms also include tastefully chosen art, a nod to the owner of the hotel. Furthermore, several rooms have been specially adapted for disabled access.

Restaurant and Bar

As you might expect from a quality hotel and resort in France, fine dining is one of the Terre Blanche Provence highlights. One must start with the gourmet, 1* Michelin restaurant, Le Faventia. This restaurant, led by Chef Phillipe Jourdin, provides sumptuous food with equally stunning views from the terrace over the local landscape of the Pays de Fayence and the surrounding villages. It showcases the cuisine of the South of France and includes a generous selection of dishes for vegetarians.

Additionally, the more relaxed atmosphere of Le Gaudina, complete with grand piano, jazz music, and artworks, has the ambiance of a French brasserie. This is where one can enjoy drinks on the terrace, brunch, or dinner, according to taste and desire. As with all the restaurants, on-site olive oil and goat's cheese are commonly available. There are also quality wines that come from local sources and from further afield.

For those wanting proximity to or a view over to the golf club, Les Caroubier, or the clubhouse, provides a stylish lunchtime option. Additionally, there are indoor and outdoor options available according to season.

Finally, Le Tousco and Le Patio are perfect for those who enjoy salads or grilled meat. They also serve buffet breakfasts with an emphasis on local ingredients. Moreover, the latter enjoys a transformation into a lounge bar-style venue in the summer for cocktails.

Across the restaurants, as one would expect from a quality French resort, there is a fine range of wines available from the wine cellar. There are also cocktails, beers, and spirits from around the world.
