Renowned for its rosé wines, Coteaux Varois is a region of rambling vineyards, timeworn villages and rolling countryside. At the heart of it sits Hostellerie de L’Abbaye, one of the leading attractions in sleepy La Celle village: the others being a 12th-century Benedictine abbey and 'Maison des Vins', a shrine to local wine. The hotel sits on the 'Route des Vins' – a scenic journey that joins the dots between 430 vineyards – and is well placed for hiking and biking excursions. If for some reason you tire of the countryside, Cannes, Marseille and Aix-en-Provence are all roughly an hour away by car.
