A corner of Paradise in the Provençal Var region
In the heart of Cotignac, one of the jewels of the Var region, classified among “The Most Beautiful Villages of France”, hotel Lou Calen flourishes within 3 hectares of rich and glorious nature. This eco-resort promises a total change of scenery in the heart of still-undiscovered Provence, only an hour from the spectacular Verdon valley and the sunny beaches of the Côte d’Azur. The 36 guest bedrooms are either nestled in the midst of the glorious gardens or overlooking the village square, set within the walls of the original hotel building. Each room has been crafted and decorated in harmony with their environment.

A taste of Provence in four special spots
During your stay, Lou Calen invites you to experience unforgettable moments: whether at the Jardin Secret, a restaurant selected by the Michelin Guide, and where chef Benoit Witz revisits Provençal gastronomy with finesse; or the Bistrot and its generous cuisine with flavors from here and elsewhere. Two more addresses entice you out of your luxurious room and into the Provençal art of living: the microbrewery La TUF, a festive bar that lights up evenings in Cotignac; O’Fadoli, the little bar on Cours Gambetta where apéritifs last forever.
