A romantic luxury bed & breakfast at the heart of Provençal Verdon
Lodge Spirit of Bali – La Noccemada
A luxury bed & breakfast conceived for epicurean couples
In Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier, between the Var and the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, La Noccemada offers a rare expression of romantic luxury hospitality: a fully enclosed, Balinese-inspired private lodge reserved exclusively for two. From 250€ per night, continental breakfast included, you gain access to a 1.5-hectare estate with no neighbouring properties, a wholly private jacuzzi, a 5,000 m² tropical garden, and a 240 m² outdoor lounge oriented towards the serene silence of the Verdon gorges.
Here, luxury is not measured by the number of stars displayed at the entrance. It is felt in every detail conceived for intimacy: the jacuzzi water maintained immaculately by our team, the discreet presence of a chef with Michelin-starred credentials, the generous sofas facing the ornamental pool, and an absolute guarantee — never more than six guests on the entire estate. La Noccemada welcomes a select few who understand that true luxury begins with tranquillity.

What makes this experience unique
Lodge Spirit of Bali – La Noccemada
Wholly private jacuzzi
Your jacuzzi is reserved exclusively for you, from 8am to 11:30pm. Maintained daily by our team, it is shared with no one — neither other guests nor the owners.

A 15-metre salt-water lap pool, open from April to mid-October. A pool designed for swimming lengths, set within an unspoilt natural landscape.
Gastronomic dinner under the stars
Each evening, upon reservation, Chef Stephan — trained at Michelin-recognised establishments — presents a gastronomic dinner at 110€ per person, served outdoors using carefully selected local produce, across several courses.
Fully private estate
1.5 hectares, entirely enclosed, with no neighbouring properties. The Lodge Spirit of Bali is a self-contained, independent space guaranteeing absolute privacy throughout your stay.
Balinese lodge for two
Bedroom with a queen-size bed, summer air conditioning and winter heating, mini-bar, sound system, and a 240 m² outdoor lounge with an ornamental pool. A sensory setting conceived entirely for couples.
Continental breakfast included
Each morning, a continental breakfast is served and included in the lodge rate. A gentle start to the day before exploring the Verdon gorges, thirty minutes from the estate.
Tropical garden, private jacuzzi, dinner under the stars
The art of the romantic escape at a luxury bed & breakfast
The Lodge Spirit of Bali is a space made to be experienced. The 240 m² outdoor lounge, the generous sofas, the ornamental pool, and the private jacuzzi form a lush, verdant setting where each hour takes on a different quality — the golden light of morning, the soft warmth of the afternoon, the cool, star-filled evenings of the Verdon.
The 5,000 m² tropical garden weaves together Mediterranean species and Balinese influences in near-perfect silence. No visible roads, no neighbours, no disturbances. Only nature, the two of you, and whatever you have chosen to experience together.
In the evening, should you wish it, Chef Stephan sets his table outdoors. Service begins at nightfall, beneath the open skies of the inland Var. A gastronomic dinner at 110€ per person, conceived as much as an experience as a meal — a single set menu, local produce, several courses, with wine pairing available upon request.
BookWhy La Noccemada is a romantic luxury bed & breakfast in a class of its own
The notion of a romantic luxury bed & breakfast encompasses a wide range of realities. It may refer to a restored château with a shared pool, a Provençal bastide with a communal table d'hôtes, or — as is the case here — a Balinese-inspired private lodge where intimacy is a structural promise rather than a mere marketing claim. At La Noccemada, the estate is designed to welcome no more than six guests at any one time. The Lodge Spirit of Bali is fully enclosed, entirely self-contained, and has its own private jacuzzi. The chef who prepares your gastronomic dinner has worked at the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat and the Hôtel des Bergues in Geneva. The 5,000 m² tropical garden is accessible to no neighbour, no passerby. This is not a conventional luxury guest house — it is a territory reserved for two, 40 minutes from Aix-en-Provence and one hour from Marseille.

A luxury romantic retreat in the Verdon: what awaits you at La Noccemada
Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier is a hilltop village in the Var, set between two exceptional natural landscapes: the Verdon gorges and the lake of Esparron-de-Verdon, reachable in thirty minutes. La Noccemada lies at the heart of this unspoilt territory, far from the tourist crowds of the Côte d'Azur, yet just one hour and forty-five minutes from its shores. This discreet geographical position is central to the experience: you are staying at a romantic luxury bed & breakfast that places the wild countryside of Haute-Provence within easy reach of Aix-en-Provence. Mornings begin with a continental breakfast included in your Balinese lodge. Days unfold at the gorges, the lake, or simply within the tropical garden and beside the private jacuzzi. Come evening, should you wish it, Chef Stephan lays his table beneath the star-filled skies of the Verdon. It is this rhythm — unhurried, sensory, exclusive — that La Noccemada offers from 250€ per night.
