Le Florida

A native of Castéra-Verduzan, in the “French Tuscany” to the west of Toulouse, Baptiste Ramounéda left home to work in the Parisian fashion business — only to return, 15 years later, to the restaurant his great-grandmother had opened in 1935. The result is Auberge le Florida, whose farm-to-table kitchen now features veterans of Michelin-starred restaurants, and whose four unique contemporary-luxe rooms have transformed this classic Gascon house into an extraordinarily stylish, if vanishingly small, boutique hotel. One room comes with a freestanding tub and a stone fireplace, while two others have Jacuzzis; Nespresso machines are universal, and the décor is uniformly cheerful and eclectic.
