Seeing as it's such a rare event for us to get away by ourselves and i managed to find a flight for only £7 + tax each way, we didn't feel too bad about splurging on a nice hotel.

Which is in an olive grove:

Le Régina is where Matisse worked towards the end of his life:

There was a Roman arena in the park:
