Hostellerie de Crillon le Brave Review

The views from the interconnected hilltop houses of this Relais & Châteaux property are as elevated as its prices, but for this you get a rarefied stage-set of medieval luxury. A cozy-chic southern touch informs book-filled salons and antiques-and-brocante-trimmed guest rooms, some with terraces looking out onto infinity. In the stone-vaulted dining room, stylish French cuisine is served up by stylish chef Philippe Moni. Wine tastings and regional discovery packages encourage longer stays.

    The views here are beautiful and sitting on the terrace eating dinner wonderful. The food was OK. Nothing amazing. At times I felt a little like I was staying in the home counties of england. No french people appeared to be staying here. The rooms were comfortable, but nothing to write home about. Done in the usual 'modern' white minimalist sort of style you have seen in a thousand hotels all over the world. The staff were OK. The hotel was Ok. Just OK for a night if you're passing through in the area. But nothing amazing. The town itself is a little like staying in a Disney version of Provence. All squeaky clean and seems to be wholly owned by the hotel. So in no way authentic whatsoever.

    We've stayed here several times for special occasions, the views are spectacular,built on terraces, the pool on one the dining room and terrace onanoth and the pub on yet another. The buildings occupy about most of this tiny village. Wonderful food and service
