La Reserve Ramatuelle

What the classifiers highlight

A few miles from Saint-Tropez behind a pine forest, hushed enough that check-in happens seated in an armchair facing the sea. MICHELIN gives it Three Keys; Forbes rates it four stars and credits designer Jacques Garcia for a look that mixes Provençal tradition with modernist flourishes. Chef Eric Canino's La Voile, one of five restaurants, holds two Stars.
