Outdoor Living – Provençal Lifestyle at its best
Surrounded by 1,500 m² of landscaped garden, Villa Ricôme offers every opportunity to relax under the southern sun or unwind in the shade. The saltwater pool (10 x 4.5 m x 1,75m deep) invites you to cool off after a sun-drenched afternoon on one of the 8 loungers. Gather around the dining table under the parasol for alfresco meals prepared on the Weber charcoal barbecue, or sip local wine in the outdoor lounge area, nestled in comfort and calm.
