Mention a French Riviera Hotel, La Provence, and one immediately thinks of places like Cannes, St Tropez, Antibes, where the beautiful people go to see and be seen. Not many people outside France know anything much about a place called Porquerolles Island in the Mediterranean off the French Coast near Hyeres.

They know even less about a gem of a place called Le Mas du Langoustier the most isolated and sublimely situated luxury hotel in the whole of the south of France. On an island free of cars, if you arrive by car you will need to leave it at the ferry port of La Tour Fondue before the short journey to Porquerolles Island, where you will be met by the hotel’s shuttle bus.

What Riviera Hotel can possibly be its equal with a panorama such as this. The Chateau de Chevre d’Or   has its rooms and suites scattered through the village, and you are unlikely to find more elegant accommodation anywhere else in this part of the world.

It is hard to believe you are in the heart of the Cote D’Azur.

If you feel the need, then the hotel has a speedboat which will .............
