Positioned off the beaten track, this golden-age gem has been transformed into an idyllic oceanfront stay, a timeless place with all the allure of the pristine French Riviera.

Book

More than a hotel, Epi 1959 is a destination. A place to spend the summer: play a set on the tennis courts as the sun sets, dip in the pool, sunbathe, or seek refuge in the shade of a tree to re-read Alain Fournier. Calm mornings and festive nights. The water opened a bottle of rosé, and dinner was graced by the perfume of flowers from the garden. This is a timeless place with no obligations and no schedule. Epi 1959 is perfect for those who love the beauty of simplicity.
