Gault&Millau's review 2026

14,5/20
Chef's Restaurant
This villa, tucked away just outside the city center, with its atmosphere of a refined parlor, is a unique place that attracts both Anglo-Saxon tourists who seem to have stepped out of a Daphne du Maurier novel and locals who come to savor the elegance of the setting, the patina of the woodwork, the hardwood floors and draperies, the tapestries, and the paintings that make it a Relais & Châteaux property with a singular charm. As discreet as he is dedicated, Chef Christophe Gavot has long been the guardian of this quintessentially French hospitality. The menu moves slightly away from the claimed Italian-French theme (the chef himself has never claimed to be an expert in making pasta) in favor of a Franco-Italian approach, and no one has any complaints: exquisite ingredients, such as the superb gamberos rossos in the fish soup and the excellent red mullet, which evokes the richness of rockfish, remarkable sauces (the lamb jus over a perfectly cooked saddle of lamb, deliciously accompanied by Swiss chard and shredded meat, or the vitello tonnato-style preparation with capers, sun-dried tomatoes, and Taggiasca olives on the tortellini). Well-crafted desserts, such as the combination of plum, meadowsweet cream, and Bronte pistachio praline. Good service, relaxed yet precise; a classic wine cellar, well-curated but with steep prices despite a very good sommelier.
