Le Barn
If you're wondering why horses are grazing outside your window, it's because this chic pastoral getaway is set on a horse farm deep in the beautiful Rambouillet countryside. Three contemporary chalets clustered around a lovely pond offer spacious rooms and private balconies, and the property is equipped for hiking, cycling (regular and electric), horseback riding, golf, ping-pong, volleyball, or just relaxing with a book. There's a small spa and a spacious verrière restaurant serving delicious gourmet fare sourced from the kitchen garden. The hotel provides transport from three local train stations.
