Four Seasons Provence
Two types head for the South of France: those who want to be seen and those who don't. Those who do crowd together on the coast, jangling their jewels in the Negresco and Eden Roc, and enduring nose-to-tail traffic jams as they crawl along the Corniche. Those who don't love the region as much for its broom-covered hills as for its raffish, scintillating seaside; for the dry heat, clear light and scent of pine, and for the heady fusion of art and landscape, wine and sunshine that gives Provence and the Côte d'Azur its unique, dazzling variety.
Head for the Domaine de Terre Blanche at Tourrettes and you can dip into both worlds. And if you are en famille, make a beeline. Of all the resort hotels in the region, it's the one that caters best for parents with teenagers and young children, while cleverly managing to be equally enjoyable for couples on their own. There are endless activities on offer, from canoeing and riding to pétanque, plus an imaginative kids' club for 2 to 12 year old, setting parents free for a spell on the golf course or in the superb spa. Service is that of any Four Seasons hotel, but staff are particularly warm and friendly here, and there's a feeling of spaciousness, calm and well-being. Fly to Nice (Cannes-Mandelieu for private jets) hire a car and wind up through the hills to the hotel. You could easily descend to the coast during your stay, but you won't.
