Hotel and Resort

Discover our serene, adults-only retreat in the heart of Landes National Park

Although its name evokes summer, its doors never close with falling leaves or winter frost.

Wake to the sound of rustling leaves and the scent of pine carried by the morning breeze.
Here, time slows down — inviting you to unwind, reconnect, and simply be.

Connections

Getting here and staying connected is as seamless as everything else at Villa Aestival.

Private airport transfers can be arranged with our trusted chauffeur, ensuring your arrival is smooth and unhurried.

For those arriving by car, parking is plentiful and discreet. Check-in and check-out happen on your time, not ours. Come when you arrive. Leave when you’re ready.

When the mood strikes to explore, we offer curated group trips to nearby destinations from local markets to quiet beaches and vineyards worth knowing. Bicycles are always available for slow rides through the village or through the forests, best taken without a plan.

Inside the Villa, fibre broadband keeps you connected to the world or just connected enough. For those blending work with pleasure, two private offices offer space to focus when needed, and to close the laptop when you’re done.

Whether you’re arriving, departing, wandering, or returning, the Villa moves with you.

Dining

At Villa Aestival, dining is a sensual art unrushed, generous, and deeply felt.

Mornings begin with extravagant breakfasts that spill into late conversations. Afternoons drift through delicate teas, riverbank lunches, and sun-drenched cocktails.

Evenings bring long, candlelit dinners, spontaneous barbecues, and wine that never runs dry.

Focus is on homemade, using locally sourced ingredients chosen for pleasure, not pretence.

Menus shift with the day, the mood, and the guests; from light, nourishing fare to rich, indulgent feasts.

All dietary desires are met where possible, as long as they come with appetite.

Our wine and cocktail lists are curated for curiosity and celebration. The tea is rare. The coffee, serious.

And the table is always set for those who understand that food is not just sustenance, it’s seduction.

Comforts

Villa Aestival offers comforts designed not just for rest, but for renewal, indulgence, and play. Beneath the quiet of the house, warmth awaits: a hammam to melt the hours, a sauna to sweat out the world, and a jacuzzi where time loses its edge. Massages and bespoke cosmetic treatments are available on request, because the body deserves ritual as much as the spirit does.

There is a gym, discreet and generous, spanning 100 square meters, open to those who find pleasure in movement, strength, or stillness. For those balancing business with leisure, two private offices provide the space to focus, then drift easily back into the softness of the Villa.

Tucked among the gardens are secret passages and hidden corners, made for wandering, escaping, or meeting by chance. And beyond the known rooms, a playroom awaits,  what happens there is up to you.

At Villa Aestival, comfort is not an amenity. It is a state of mind, and it is everywhere.
