Villa La Coste
Provence, France
Idyllic views, world-class dining and a luxury spa – Provence’s Villa La Coste has it all. Its winning feature, however is the property’s proximity to Chateau la Coste and its outstanding art and architecture amongst a sprawling 180 hectare expanse of wooded hilltops, valleys and vines. Guests are invited to partake in two hour-long guided art and architecture tours of the grounds, which take in sculpture and installations by the likes of Andrew Goldsworthy, Ai Weiwei, Richard Serra and Louise Bourgeois, as well as the Tadao Ando-designed Art Centre. In addition to the permanent onsite works, a rolling roster of exhibitions is on show and even the two on-site wine-making centres are designed by Jean Nouvel. It’s all within easy each for guests of Villa La Coste, which sits in the midst of it all, hosting 28 plush suites and its own lobby gallery.
