This is a cool old bastide that was previously owned by the French Red Cross as a sanatorium for children with tuberculosis. The rooms are quite large, with stunning views over the valley. Sheets are linen, locally sourced. The house is full of the family’s collection of antiques. The best part is the host, Paul. He welcomed me into his family and took good care of me. The breakfast each morning was the best meal of the day. I particularly recommend the lemon confiture on a croissant.

Be aware that like all nice properties in Grasse, it is off a narrow windy hilly road.
