Guest Rooms

1. Barbentane

"Not far from Arles you’ll find the Chateau de Barbentane, a glorious seventeenth century castle where a certain Provencal playfulness meets with a Parisian ‘je ne sais quoi’. Its carming corner ‘cabinets’ inspired me when creating the entrance to this romantic bedchamber." Julia de Bierre

This spacious room, with its lofty ceiling, ancient terracotta floors, lime-washed walls and original decorative details, is situated on the first floor, overlooking the courtyard.

Carefully chosen furnishings and objects evoke the warmth and charm of ‘old-world’ Provence.

Self-Contained Apartments

1. The Josephine Baker Studio Suite

"Surely the day will come when colour means nothing more than the skin tone, when religion is seen uniquely as a way to speak one’s soul; when birth places have the weight of a throw of a dice and all men are born free, when understanding breeds loves and brotherhood." – Josephine Baker

Situated on the second floor this airy space has a loft-like feel. Sunny and quiet, with a view over the courtyard and nearby roofs, the suite provides inspiration to writers, artists and dreamers.

Marble foors, pale cream walls and 20^th century collectibles recreate the glamorous spirit of ‘Riviera Art Deco’. Prints, paintings and photographs pay subtle homage to Josephine Baker, the pioneering dancer, singer, civil rights activist and member of the French Resistance.

2. The Marco Polo Suite

"Marco Polo (1254 – 1324) is probably the most famous Westerner to have travelled on the Silk Road, embarking from his native Venice on an epic journey to Cathay (China). An account of his journey, 'The travels of Marco Polo' became one of the most popular books in medieval Eruope and later inspired poets such as Coleridge:
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan." – A stately pleasure-dome decree

This sun-filled suite, comprising a master bedroom and a sitting room with a fully equipped kitchen, is situated on the 2^ndfloor, facing the Rue de la Calade.

A row of tall windows provides a beautiful view over the picturesque rooftops of the old town and the church of Sainte-Trophime.

Lovingly restored, the suite has retained the charm and authenticity of an 18^th century patrician home. Sino-Venetian details provide a fine touch of exoticism.
