Hôtel Les Santolines

A hotel organized around santoline plantings—gray-leaved, yellow-flowered plants that flower in summer—Les Santolines hosts 50 to 150 guests in rooms that open onto gardens. The plant variety is deliberately limited; the effect is unified rather than diverse. Paths are wide and slow; seating is distributed. The kitchen emphasizes dry herbs that grow on-site. Wine is kept in a shallow cellar prone to temperature fluctuation; bottles are rotated monthly. This property suits guests who garden themselves.
