LA BASTIDE SAINT-ANTOINE This circa 18th-century Relais & Châteaux property is tucked in the heart of an expansive olive grove in Grasse proper, and boasts all the sensorial stimulations that you'd expect of a Provençal bolthole with a Mediterranean restaurant, botanical garden and pétanque court. And, for real enthusiasts, try out classes at the aromatic tasting school. BASTIDE ST. MATHIEU Just 20 minutes from the Cote d'Azur glow of Cannes and 40 minutes from Nice is an 18th-century manor house turned charmingly decorated boutique hotel and event space surrounded by bucolic gardens and olive groves. LE MAS CANDILLE With its Michelin-starred restaurant, trio of swimming pools, spa and acres of terraced grounds, this relaxed five-star in Mougins—formerly an 18th-century farmhouse—is all about atmosphere. LE COUVENT DES MINIMES HOTEL & SPA Nestled in the Luberon, two and a half hours northwest of Grasse, the L'Occitane-owned Eden provides an enchanting setting with plenty of verdant growth and mountains in the distance. Though it's not in Grasse, the experiences available in the spa ensure an equally olfactory and blissful journey. Chanel sources flower buds from a generations-old farm for its fragrances; rose harvesting is a deep-seated tradition in the South of France; lavender fields abound in Grasse—to the delight of all who visit.
