We say hotel, but it’s really more of a 17th-century village, quite literally. A dozen old (17th- and 18th-century) stone houses make up the hotel, all connected by labyrinthine courtyards and secret alleyways. And there’s a big emphasis on the location: charming cobbles, tiled rooftops, shuttered windows, you’re surrounded by countryside and rolling hills. From the team at Maisons Pariente (Lou Pinet, Le Grand Mazarin), the Provençal feel is real. Inside, rooms are soft and homely, each framing those up-high views plus, they keep things local. Find us on the terrace for a long lazy lunch before prying the front desk for their favourite route to reach the prettiest villages nearby.
