The extraordinary story of an extraordinary place.


La Rocabella is a beautiful story that was born from the vision of an iconoclastic entrepreneur. During the last decade of the 19th century, a certain Jules Pétin relied on technological innovations in metallurgy to achieve a dazzling industrial breakthrough. In 1897, he decided it was time to give new meaning to his life. From now on he wishes to devote himself to building an exceptional place that combines elegance, conviviality and communion with nature. He entrusted his project to the favorite architect of Empress Eugénie, the Danish Hans-Georg Tersling. The latter literally falls in love with the exceptional site overlooking the sea in the town of Pradet. Translating the vision of the entrepreneur, the Dane designs an architecture that is both neoclassical and romantic, giving the estate its audacious and warm character.

Throughout the beginning of the 20th century, the Villa was a very popular avant-garde literary and artistic salon. After the Second World War, the estate took an unexpected new direction by becoming a holiday center for the children of railway workers. A place of escape, laughter and happy memories, the Rocabella has thus become an unforgettable tourist accommodation destination for many generations of young and old.

At the turn of 2000, the decorator Patrice Nourissat fell in love with the place and undertook remarkable artistic work to restore the large historic Villa and its landscaped gardens.

Since 2020, the 3 villas of La Rocabella have brought this exceptional holiday destination back to life while rediscovering the original pioneering spirit. The place also hosts seminars, film shoots and photo shoots.
