Praise
Set at the foot of Mount Ventoux, this Provençal property, decorated with earth tones and red-tiled floors, pays homage to its bucolic setting in the south of France. Its stone buildings dating back over four centuries, spa housed in former 18th-century vaulted stables, and plush countryside-inspired guest rooms only add to the pastoral scene.
Travel + Leisure, July 2025There are surprisingly few places where you can combine an idyllic Provençal escape with a proper luxury hotel, but the hilltop village of Crillon-le-Brave happens to be one of them.
Guide Michelin, May 2024The hotel conjures a romantic vision of Provencal life: think rose-scented terraced gardens brimming with bougainvillea and, at night, old-fashion street lamps casting a soft glow on a warren of cobbled walkways.
The Telegraph, June 2018As well as the expansive, half-roofed terrace bar and restaurant, where a jazz band plays and the ex-Negresco chef sends out gastronomically plated pork and mountain lamb, there's a nominally less glamorous bistro, tucked into one of the many stony nooks that are so unfakeably ancient, mossy and charming.
