For dinner, the Vivaldi restaurant offers gourmet French, Mediterranean and local cuisine while bistro, Le Jardin focuses on French and seasonal dishes.

Guests can also take advantage of 500 square metres of exercise and relaxation facilities in the fitness centre or take a dip in the pool. For those who need a little pampering, visitors can relax and rejuvenate in the spa bath or indulge in a massage or Finnish or steam sauna.
