Just 10 minutes from Barcelonnette, at the foot of the Bonnette pass – the highest in Europe – this neo-Mexican folly built in the 1900s is one of the loveliest addresses in the Ubaye valley. It boasts two magnificent lounges extending out onto a vast terrace with mountain views, south-facing bedrooms evoking different eras in the Directoire or Louis XVI styles, a park with a garden, kitchen garden and heated swimming pool, and a renowned restaurant offering sensational sweet and savoury combinations. To complete the picture, a relaxation suite proposes massages, and the wonders of the Mercantour are just a stone's throw away.
