Dolce Fregate Golf Resort Bandol - Var - Provence/Cote d'Azur - France
At the foothills of Provence's lush vineyards and overlooking
the Mediterranean, Dolce Fregate Resort combines the charm of a secluded
country setting with the glamour of a Côte d'Azur resort. Set on
a 420 acres estate with working vineyard, olive and pine groves, the resort
features a spectacular Ronald Fream golf course, a beautiful village style
hotel, a high tech conference centre and a range of leisure facilities.
On the edge of the 18th hole, the hotel is inspired from a traditional
Provençal village, complete with buildings separated by squares
and terraces overlooking the golf course and the sea. While drawing its
inspiration from local architecture, the hotel incorporate the latest
technology with a high level of comfort in casual, country club style
atmosphere. The rooms and suites have whitewashed walls, terracotta floors
and solid oak furniture, enjoying the authentic charm and elegance of
the Provence of yesteryears. Most of them have sea views from their balconies,
terraces or patios.
Dolce Fregate Resort offers several dining options. Le Mas des Vignes
serves gourmet French and Provençal cuisine prepared by chef Hervé
Robert, while the wine lists features a large selection of Bandol AOC
wines, including the Domaine de Fregate own vintage. Meals are served
in the elegant dining room or on the terrace for al fresco dining. The
Brasserie style cuisine at La Restanque is a casual dining alternative
while in season, Les Cascades serves light meals by the pool.
The centre piece of the resort, the golf course enjoys a privileged setting
perched above the sea and unfolds amongst stately pines and vineyards
with captivating views of the Mediterranean. Beautiful landscaping and
a good use of the natural terrain have given birth to a technically challenging
and visually attractive course. The Championship course is complemented
by an executive nine holler, a golf academy, practice facilities, a well
stocked proshop and a tasteful clubhouse with restaurant.
Dolce Fregate Resort is located at the heart of the reputed Bandol AOC
vineyards - the Domaine produce its own award-wining "grand crus".
Bandol was a famous seaside resort before St. Tropez and its first visitors
were well known writers such as Thomas Mann, Aldous Huxley or Marcel Pagnol.
Sightseeing in the region includes the scenic coastal trail, the Massif
de La Sainte Baume range, the romantic perched medieval villages of the
hinterland, such as La Cadière and Le Castellet, and the regional
metropolis of Marseille and Toulon.
