If you're hoping to see more of Provence away from the glitz and glamour of the Riviera, head inland to the charming village of Mougins. Just a short drive north, Les Rosées is a Francophile’s dream: a traditional four-century-old Provençal mas (or guesthouse) with a beautiful and historic backdrop, where breakfasts consist of organic, local produce and home-made jams, and the grounds are dotted with 800-year-old olive trees and a rose garden.
The farmhouse is peaceful at any given time of day, but it’s particularly serene at nightfall, when candles and lights illuminate the grounds. A daily dinner menu is served to guests, based on what the chef has found at the market that day or picked from the kitchen garden.
The hotel is also close to Grasse, an especially sweet-smelling destination and a must-visit for fragrance lovers – it's the epicentre of perfume production and home to some of the world's best 'noses'.
