Relais & Châteaux celebrates the arrival of spring by joining its collection of charming hotels and restaurants. Eight jewels, symbols of timeless beauty, places to immerse yourself in a reality made of precious details and refreshments for the soul.
The great Italian beauty
Villa della Pergola, a late 19th century holiday residence surrounded by over 22 thousand square meters of Anglo-Mediterranean park overlooking the sea of Alassio, is the new jewel that enriches the Italian collection.
The 4 villas that are located within the property. Refurbished by architect Ettore Mocchetti, they house 15 suites all different in style, atmosphere, color tones and furnishings. Instead, the recovery of the Gardens bears the signature of the landscape architect Paolo Pejrone.
Considered already in the early twentieth century one of the botanical wonders of the Riviera and the Mediterranean, they are members of the circuit of the Great Italian Gardens. Inside the Villa there is another excellence. This is Ristorante Nove, which has just won its first Michelin Star in the 2021 Guide.
European charm
All the new European entries of spring 2021 are housed in palaces and ancient villas.
The Hôtel Saint-Delis in Normandy is located in the house that housed the painter of the same name Henri de Saint-Delis in the twentieth century. Weeshuis Gouda in Gouda (Benelux) is housed in a former 16th century monastery while Cashel Palace in Cashel (Ireland), the Archbishop’s former country house, is surrounded by magnificent English gardens.
Surrounded by greenery is also the Primard estate in Guainville, an oasis of well-being and relaxation in contact with water and nature about 45 miles west of Paris.
Xenodocheio Milos, in the historic center of Athens, is housed in one of the most beautiful neoclassical buildings in the city. Quinta Nova, in the Douro Valley (Portugal), is instead immersed in the vineyards of a 16th-century estate.
The great spaces of the USA
Concludes the list of new entries The Swag. It is a mountain farm transformed into a spectacular resort nestled among the wildest peaks in North Carolina. Definitely the perfect refuge to leave the world behind and recharge your batteries in close contact with nature.
