La Grange au Muy

La Grange au Muy is situated between Cannes and Saint Tropez in the idyllic rural hinterland of the Cote d´Azur. In 1990, the Italian architect Claudio Silvestrin converted this 16th century building into a unique holiday home. Behind the old façade you will find spacious, modern rooms, which are lent their very special ambience by the light entering through the windows. The architect, known for his timeless buildings, all reduced to the essentials, has given the rooms an almost monastic character.

La Tour Sarrazine

La Tour Sarrazine in the village of Montaren near the southern French renaissance town of Uzès is a medieval tower dating to the 12th century. The building was restored over the course of five years and transformed into a unique B&B, in which combining authenticity and comfort was of the highest priority. New elements are clearly recognisable as such, but have been designed in a neutral mode that doesn’t steal the limelight from the historic building itself.
