In the heart of ancient Nîmes, we have dreamed Jardins Secrets, where beneath the shimmer of chandeliers intertwines treasures of 18th century from France and Andalousian Spain.
A hideaway boutique hotel hidden in Old Nîmes. Gardens filled with Mediterranean fragrances, bougainvillea, palms, orange trees and the soft murmur of water caressing the marble of an antique fountain. Difficult to imagine that you are in the heart of a city… A magical place, beyond time where one is drawn to lounging under the olive trees or in the refined and hushed elegance of the 18th century salons.
Beside a fireplace where in winter a comforting fire crackles while outside the Mistral wind blows, winged armchairs and sofas recall the decided taste of the epoch for the art of conversation.
Canopied beds, ancient roses and period porcelains create the tone for rooms with an ambiance of soft-spoken gallantry.
Bathrooms become boudoirs with antique baths draped in silks and brocaded fabrics.
The red exterior walls of the 18th century house resembling those of a Tuscan villa illuminated by the Mediterranean sud give way once the evening comes to a residence lit up by the glimmer of candlelight.
A luxuriant cloistered garden is accessed by several of the salons as well as Napoleon III bar.
We welcome you to discover our “Source des Secrets”, a celebrated roman style Spa offering ayurvedic and natural treatments. After a “hammam” in the steam room, you can have an ayurvedic massage in the Roman styled Spa.
An enchanted site one reluctantly leaves for a few hours in order to roam the streets of antique Nîmes, discover the cities of Arles and Avignon, or perhaps gallop on horseback in the Camargue National Park, hike in the Cevennes forest (classified as a UNESCO World Heritage), or explore the “Uzège”...
