Overview
Hôtel Crillon le Brave crests a 17th-century hamlet in the department of Vaucluse, a charming pocket of Provence swathed with vineyards and dotted with villages of ancient stone. Spread between nine Génoise-tiled houses, the hotel is a multi-generational mishmash of dwellings linked by small courtyards and charming alleyways, some with spectacular views of the surrounding hills. In the rooms, you’ll find quintessential Provençal features – wooden beams, terracotta floors and antique furniture – mingled with luxuries befitting a world-class hotel. Spend sun-kissed days tanning by the pool, luxuriating in the rustic spa, trying your hand at the local cuisine or sampling the region's fine wines and cheeses. Post aperitif, settle in to dinner on the terrace, watching the sun retreat across the flanks of Mont Ventoux, the bald Giant of Provence.
