Dolce Frégate is a hidden gem, a sophisticated, yet relaxed resort in the wine producing town of Bandol in the South of France, set within vineyards and olive trees and only a 45 minutes drive from Marseille airport. The hotel's elevated position offers stunning views across the golf course and Mediterranean, especially from the terrace of the fine dining restaurant, where you can also enjoy the hotel's own wine. Other facilities include a three-tier outdoor pool, heated indoor poll and spa. The 18-hole course with panoramic views has many undulations, sloping greens and water hazards, so provides a challenge to golfers of all abilities. There is also an excellent nine-hole course which is perfect for beginners and an academy to hone your skills.

Between 1 October 2009 and 30 April 2010, from ₤75 per person, you can enjoy overnight accommodation, breakfast, access to the indoor pool and leisure facilities, plus a round of golf.
