This name is self-evident for this Bastide located in the Grasse region and set in the heart of a century-old olive grove.

It is a place where the history of yesterday and today meet.

The land once belonged to the Little Sisters of the Poor who welcomed destitute and isolated people.

The Count of Noailles, a famous 20th century patron and member of the Royal Horticultural Society, acquired it in 1969 and built the Bastide there.
He designed the gardens with English subtleties and Italianate reminiscences.
His love of art and gardens left an indelible mark on the Bastide.

A long-time Swedish family home, in 2021 La Bastide became a gite, then guest rooms in 2024.

La Bastide is the result of a project that matured for 20 years: furniture and decorative objects were acquired over the years.

Originally from Normandy, its current owner moved to the South in 2008.

In 2020, it was the purchase of La Bastide and the launch of its renovation.

Today "Bastide Aïna", yesterday "Le Refuge", La Bastide was and remains the refuge of the mind and the heart.
A haven of peace where only the song of the cicadas breaks the silence of the place, La Bastide is a place conducive reconnexion with yourself, nature and other persons: meeting, sharing, joy, relaxation and well-being.

Art plays an important role here.
The host table is an ode to creativity and the pleasure of the palate.
Many paintings by local artists are exhibited.
The decoration is inspired by the soul of the Bastide and reveals its full potential: authenticity, elegance, softness.

The Bastide is also the soul of its current owner:
- True luxury is simplicity and authenticity,
- Happiness is homemade: sharing, respect and kindness.
