Fodor's Expert Review La Bastide de Brurangère

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Set among 12 acres of sun-drenched vineyards in view of Mont Ventoux, this little slice of heaven offers all the luxuries of a grand hotel along with the charm and privacy of a country hideaway—yet it is a good base for many local attractions (if you can tear yourself away from the relaxing options here). A rustic elegance prevails in the exceptionally large and airy rooms, which feature beamed ceilings, antiqued wainscotting, and every modern comfort—some with fireplaces and all with sleek modern bathrooms. Two large pools, a sauna, and a steam room contribute to the hotel's spa atmosphere, and a small selection of treatments are available by request.
