Eat & Drink

Dining in
Chef Adonis heads off to market each morning in search of the freshest and best ingredients, so the menu changes daily and is full of surprises. The one thing that’s constant here is the culinary quality. Among the (fairly) regular dishes you might get to sample are slow cooked lamb stuffed with figs, and the delicious cheese and herb filled chicken breast wrapped in bacon.

Breakfast
Buffet breakfast (EUR 19) is served until 10am and features home made bread and butter pudding and toasted granola.

Room service
Late risers can lounge around and have breakfast in bed.

Activities

See & Do
Go all Da Vinci Code and explore the medieval villages Soreze and Saint Felix, or leave the sleuthing (and your worldly cares) behind and go for a walk in the nearby Black Mountains, which aren’t as imposing as they sound. The Saturday farmers market at Revel is also worth exploring and packed with goodies to take home.

There is a tennis court nearby to work up a sweat in, and a heated outdoor pool to cool off in. That’s not forgetting the three acres of gardens – perfect for evening wanders.
