Andréa & Maxime: Ten Years Dedicated to the Art of Hospitality in Saint-Raphaël
Before settling at Clos du Dramont, Andréa and Maxime honed their high standards in palaces and luxury hotels, where every detail matters and hospitality is a living art.
Andréa: from Therapy to Wellness Management
Andréa initially worked as a spa therapist before going on to become a spa manager at leading establishments such as the Crans Ambassador Hotel & Spa in Crans-Montana and the Park Gstaad in Switzerland.
Throughout these establishments, she cultivated attentive listening, precision of movement, and the operational excellence of a luxury hotel spa, combining team management, treatment rituals, service quality, and attention to calming details.
Maxime: Sommelier as a Language
Maxime first carved out a career as a sommelier at various prestigious establishments, before becoming Assistant Food & Beverage Manager at the Crans Ambassador Hotel & Spa, and then Head Sommelier at La Réserve Genève.
