“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. In the kitchen, experienced and highly regarded chef John Ellis, returning with his French wife Aurelie to her native region (she is from neighbouring Bedoin), wins plaudits for his cuisine, served in a vaulted restaurant or on a lovely terrace. Check out the November truffle weekends, when the weather is almost always lovely.”

“Hotel Crillon le Brave is a relaxed and informal refuge where you can enjoy all of the simple pleasures of Provence. Located about 25 miles northeast of Avignon, our 32-bedroom hotel is perched on top of a tiny hill village surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. The views from our rooms, terraces and gardens are stunning.”
