“A hilltop hotel in the heart of Provence surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. Elegant rooms offer style, views and soak baths. Fine dining on the terrace and a drink by the pool. Guests are enticed by the spa; the local charm and romantic feel about the place. A beautiful and memorable stay.”

Hotel review

Spread throughout a cluster of atmospheric old buildings, linked by cobbled alleys, this gorgeous, well cared for and constantly improving hotel has a wonderful setting at the top of a perched village, with magnificent views of Mont Ventoux. It effortlessly combines luxury and character with beautifully decorated country-style rooms. The kitchen wins plaudits for its cuisine, served in a vaulted restaurant or on a lovely terrace. Check out the November truffle weekends, when the weather is almost always lovely.
