Hôtel Crillon le Brave, Crillon-le-Brave, Provence, France
This little
off-the-beaten-track gem is a real charmer, with a vibe that’s more large
country house than hotel. There’s also everything you could wish for when
planning your dream Provençal experience: décor that’s as divine as the
surrounding lavender fields, scrumptious food, a heated pool, diminutive spa
and all kinds of off-site activity (a visit to Châteauneuf-du-Pape tops our
list).
Accommodation is scattered throughout the 17th- and 18th-century
buildings (most of which started out as family dwellings) – the generously
sized Classic category offering the best value, and the gorgeous two-bedroom La
Sousto House ideal for small groups.
