About this Chic Retreat
Port Rive Gauche is the newest gem of the Garrigae Resort luxury hotels list. Situated in Marseillan - a beautiful fishing village on the Mediterranean coast of Languedoc - this chic retreat certainly makes the most of its stunning Southern position. The 11 suites offer uninterrupted views of the sea and Port Rive Gauche is in a great location for relaxing strolls along the lagoon beach.

Each of Port Rive Gauche's 11 two-bedroom suites have conservatory style rooms which provide wonderful ocean views. The talented Garrigae design team has combined traditional Mediterranean elegance with a contemporary style in this beautiful boutique hotel. Lime washes, wood, iron-work and traditional textiles decorate the rooms and the floors are covered in locally-sourced flagstone. Each suite has a flatscreen TV & DVD player, WIFI, intelligent lighting and integrated music systems. Third floor rooms have spacious balconies and the fourth floor suites have large private roof terraces where guests can sunbathe in privacy.
