Le Mas de Peint

Le Mas de Peint is a five‑star boutique hotel and eco‑responsible restaurant on a 500‑hectare Camargue estate near Arles. The Bon family runs the property—Jacques and Lucille Bon led the restoration and Frederic Bon continues the project—and the house champions sustainable, reasoned consumption while promoting local agriculture; it also offers horseback rides with gardians and event options including a luxury camp lodge. An elegant 18th‑century manor, it pairs warm, unpretentious charm with modern, refined comforts and provides dining indoors, on a voile‑draped candlelit terrace, or poolside in a lush, wild garden. The cuisine is locavore and seasonal, rooted in Camargue terroir, highlighting estate vegetables, estate rice and taureau alongside agneau de Crau, poultry from the Alpilles, cochon de Gallician and Mediterranean fish. The kitchen is fresh, generous and sincere, emphasising plant‑forward and vegetarian creations alongside traditional Camargue specialties. Service relies on set tasting menus—unique starter, main and dessert at lunch and an expanded evening menu—and offers à la carte pool service in summer. Chef Juan Ipuz brings international experience and his Colombian heritage to dishes that combine global savoir‑faire with local Camargue produce. Specialities include tartare de taureau; three estate riz de Camargue prepared risotto‑style; the chef’s aubergine signature; grilled and plancha taureau dishes; lotte rôtie with chorizo emulsion; and dôme chocolat‑noisette.
