THE STORY
THE HEART OF THE BASQUE COUNTRY
acquired in 1996 by Michel Faure, Domaine Santa Maria has become an exceptional venue for receptions.
This ingenious man with whimsical ideas has reimagined the building: “I rebuilt it like a theater, while retaining the charm of the old building; it’s a place where people can escape through its exoticism inspired by the architecture of haciendas, Andalusia, the Maghreb and Mexico. Not forgetting the Basque country.
The property also features nods to the equestrian world.
The Faure family works as a team to deliver the highest level of bespoke experience for every reception.
