A romantic weekend in the south of France, away from it all

Why choose La Noccemada for a romantic weekend in the south of France?

The south of France is not short of appealing addresses for couples. What sets La Noccemada apart is a rare convergence: the absolute privacy of a fully enclosed private lodge, the unspoilt natural landscape of the Verdon gorges, and a standard of gastronomic service more commonly found in the grand palaces of the Côte d'Azur. The Lodge Spirit of Bali is designed for two guests only. Your jacuzzi is not shared — not with other guests, not according to a timetable. Your 5,000 m² garden has no neighbours. In the evening, should you choose to dine on the estate, Stephan — a chef trained at the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat and aboard some of the world's most prestigious luxury liners — prepares an exclusive gastronomic menu at 110€ per person, served outdoors beneath the Verdon stars, for you alone. This is not simply another romantic hotel in the south of France. It is a confidential experience, considered in every detail for couples who know exactly what they are looking for.

The Verdon: a secluded destination for a romantic weekend in the south of France

Nestled between the Var and the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, the Verdon gorges offer an exceptional natural setting that mass tourism has yet to fully discover. It is precisely this quality that makes the area one of the most precious destinations in the south of France for a discerning romantic escape. La Noccemada is situated in Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier, 30 minutes from the Lac d'Esparron-de-Verdon, 40 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, 1 hour from Marseille and 1 hour 15 minutes from Toulon. The beaches of the Côte d'Azur are 1 hour 45 minutes away. The estate is secluded enough to offer a true sense of chosen solitude, yet ideally positioned to explore the region's most iconic destinations. All around you: the Provençal hills, the trails of the gorges, the perched villages of the Var, the morning markets. And on your return, your private jacuzzi, your tropical garden, and perhaps an exceptional dinner awaiting you beneath the stars.
