A new member of the “Maisons & Hôtels Sibuet” collection, Le Domaine de la Baume in Tourtour embodies the elegant art of living proposed by villages in the Upper Var. Once the home of Bernard Buffet, this very charming address stands in the shade of century-old chestnut trees in a 100-acre park. Decorated like a refined family residence, it is comprised of several rooms and suites, a panoramic terrace, a bar with wine cellar, a large drawing-room with fireplaces, tennis courts, a spa, a park with horses… And a restaurant for the discerning, orchestrated by François Martin, who concocts generous dishes based on produce from the vegetable garden, fine cuts of meat (braised ox-cheek, Dry-Age rib of beef...), the fragrance of homemade honey and olive-oil. 2071 route d’Aups, Tourtour (04 83 13 27 27 - www.domaine-delabaume.com).
