Located in the centre of this dreamlike environment, Le Château de Valmer is affiliated to the prestigious hotel chain chaired by the celebrated chef Alain DUCASSE, Châteaux et Hôtels de France. The owners perpetuate with enthusiasm, cheerfulness, seriousness and perseverance a family tradition of running a country house hotel based on friendliness, know-how and an incomparable flair for hospitality, ensuring that every stay is felt by guests to be more than a success. This old bourgeois manor house surrounded by a vineyard covering 6 hectares, acquired in 1949 by the parents of the owners, was run first of all as a family guest-house. Reached at the end of an elegant drive lined with palm trees, surrounded by vines and fruit trees, this magnificent hotel has evolved over the years.

In 1970, the elegant and comfortable family guest-house of 20 rooms was transformed into a 2-star hotel, followed in 1991 by new refurbishment work that raised its classification to the 3-star bracket. To achieve this objective, the owners undertook the total renovation of the old Provençal farmhouse and the building of its extension, raising the number of rooms to 42. After numerous renovations, the Château de Valmer now boasts a fourth star, acquired in spring 2004.

The owners are the conductors of their skilled teams and confer on their hotel the spirit of a guesthouse that is attractive, authentic, filled with light, comfortable and refined, a place where it is a pleasure to stay. The Château de Valmer is the perfect combination of the beauty of the Provençal countryside to which is added, as if by magic, the unmatched splendour of one of the finest beaches of the Var coastline: Gigaro. From the terraces, the guests enjoy a magnificent view over the immense park with its luxuriant vegetation, the century-old palm grove, the vineyard, the kitchen garden, the orchard and the splendid swimming pool-solarium.

The owners of the establishment, always concerned to provide up market services that meet the demands of their international clientele, opened a completely new Spa covering 500 sq m, a real treat for all the senses. Located in an extension of the main building, the Spa houses a covered and heated swimming pool combined with an overflow Jacuzzi looking out on the gardens, the outdoor swimming pool and the century-old palm grove. The baths area is dedicated to rituals of purification and offers sumptuous sauna and Turkish bath facilities. The hospitable and professional team of masseusesbeauticians is perfectly familiar with the philosophy of the partners Carita and Cinq Mondes for the treatments provided in its "chic and zen" booths. To these moments of relaxation and well-being are added the magnificent and bright fitness room, the ideal place for a dynamic workout, not forgetting the fitness track for a run in the delicious air of Provence.

The Château de Valmer Spa perfectly integrated into the whole establishment, where ostentatious luxury has no place, has already taken on the patina of Provence and creates for its guests a friendly and warm atmosphere. The reception area has been designed as a very cosy lounge with restful colours offset by the bright orange of 18th century style armchairs. The "garden herbal teas" area allows guests to refresh themselves between two treatments.
