Hostellerie Berard

The Hostellerie Berard is not a "house" but a cluster of houses tucked away in the village.

The ancient monks' cells in the monastery have been lovingly transformed into bright, comfortable and delightfully-decorated rooms. The refectory and chapel are now spacious, vaulted meeting rooms.

40 charming rooms located in an eleventh-century monastery and grouped around the pool. Each room has its own personality and pretty name - Bleu Méditerranée, Van Gogh, Pêche, Cezanne, Vert Provence..., and offers beautiful views over the beautiful Provençal hills.

The walled garden has grown into a Provençal country house or "Bastide", with heated pool set among the olive trees, sauna and gym.

The third house is dedicated to eating, reception and relaxation, with a breathtaking view from the restaurant over the Bandol vineyards and countryside.

The fourth house is the "Maison des Peintres" or "House of Artists". The rooms bear the name of famous visitors to La Cadière d'Azur.
