ESCAPE SEASON
Our Escape Season (April, May, November and December) makes autumn and spring a particularly relaxed and indulgent time to stay at Cinq & Sept. Treat yourself to a massage, then unwind with a long soak in the jacuzzi, or settle in with a drink in our Cocktail Lounge or Pool Lounge. Our retreats add an extra layer of interest and connection, but you don’t need to be taking part in one to enjoy the atmosphere — all guests are welcome to join the Tuesday night dinners, Saturday evening drinks and other social gatherings. With plenty of off-season sunshine, it’s also the perfect time to explore the region or simply relax and sunbathe by the pool.
Hit the beach
The beaches near us are quieter in spring and autumn, though you’ll still find sun-bathers on warmer days, especially at weekends. In early spring and late autumn, they’re also perfect for long walks — wide, empty stretches of sand, blueberry-blue skies, and the sound of waves rolling in from the Mediterranean.
WINE & DINE
The restaurants around us are excellent, including one Michelin-starred address, and whether you settle into a village bistro for classic French cooking or head to the coast for fresh seafood and wine, you’ll be spoilt for choice. The area is also home to hundreds of wineries, many of which welcome visitors for tastings — a chance not just to discover the wines, but to meet the winemakers behind them.
STUNNING SCENERY
Spring and autumn are the most beautiful times of year to visit. In spring, wild flowers carpet the countryside with fields of fiery-red poppies and hillsides of honey-scented yellow broom. In autumn, all the vines and the trees that line the roads turn vibrant shades of red, orange and gold. Temperatures are cool (15C) to warm (25C) - and it's possible to sunbathe and swim. It's the perfect time of year for walking, biking, sightseeing, wine tasting and enjoying seafood on the coast.
Cocktail Lounge
Our Cocktail Lounge is the heart of the hotel during Escape Season. Sit at the bar and order a Manhattan or a Mojito. Cuddle up in a comfy sofa with a book by a roaring fire. Or play games or just chat with the other guests.
POOL LOUNGE
With over 300 days of sunshine here each year, you'll love hanging out during the day in our 'Pool Lounge'. It's a great spot to chat with the other guests, with a glass of bubbly in hand, and take in the rays.
Massage
Many guests say that their massage with Pierre our masseur is the very best they've ever had. He has magical hands, and can find and sooth the deepest of knots - leaving you feeling relaxed and reinvigorated.
JACUZZI
After your massage with the lovely Pierre, ease into a long, relaxing soak in our pool-side jacuzzi. Kept at a soothing 40 °C, it’s a favourite spot on sunny afternoons — a place to unwind, chat with other guests and let the day slow down, glass of bubbles in hand.
DINNERS & PARTIES
During Escape Season, we host a relaxed three-course dinner every Tuesday evening, with delicious food paired with some of the region’s best wines. On Saturday nights, guests gather in the Cocktail Lounge for a pre-dinner drinks party — an easy, convivial way to bring everyone together. Thursdays are reserved for our much-loved Pizza & Games night, a relaxed, informal evening that’s perfect for unwinding, chatting and connecting with the other guests.

Join a retreat
Each spring and autumn, we host a varied programme of retreats, from Tantric Energy and Naked Yoga to Hike & Dip days and Massage. They’re a relaxed, enjoyable way to explore something new, deepen body and mind awareness, and naturally meet and connect with other guests.
