More than just a hotel, Le Provençal à Giens is above all a landscape. Nestled in the heart of the peninsula, this 4-star hotel overlooks the Mediterranean and today offers 37 rooms and 4 suites, 4 restaurants, a tennis court and its famous seawater swimming pool, carved out of the rock.
Behind these walls is the story of a family spanning three generations and 70 years, who have made hospitality, conviviality and authenticity the values of the place. Since 2012, Damien and Benjamin Piffet, accompanied by their wives Julie Liger and Lene Arentsen, have continued to write the family history initiated by their grandfather, blending Provencal authenticity, timeless elegance and Riviera spirit. The hotel, redesigned by interior designer Rodolphe Parente, pays homage to the 50s, the Mediterranean art of living and the glamour of the Côte d'Azur, while integrating modernity and contemporary comfort.
The bright, serene rooms and suites offer a tailor-made refuge between sky, sea and pine forest. Inspired by the 50s and enlivened by unexpected colorful touches, they are ideal for relaxing, dreaming and enjoying the art of Provençal living to the full. From the windows, the view embraces the Var village, the Mediterranean and the surrounding countryside.
Outside, the excitement continues: four restaurants and bars, each with its own unique ambience, celebrate the richness of the terroir and the freshness of the season. At the Bar du Soleil, Mediterranean flavours take pride of place; at the Barbecue, cuisine is lived in the flame; the Brasserie offers family recipes and conviviality; and La Rascasse, a gastronomic restaurant by the sea, offers a delicate and creative score.
Every place, every plate, every moment at Le Provençal reflects the passion, history and generosity of this family-run establishment, where a warm welcome and a timeless experience combine to offer visitors a revisited legend of the Riviera. Between elegance, authenticity and the pleasure of the senses, Le Provençal embodies the Mediterranean art of living, where sea, village, cuisine and Provençal culture come together.
