Cap d'Antibes
Provencal-style retreat on Cap d'Antibes run by the son of M. Irondelle of Eden Roc fame, set back frm the beach and road behind hedges and walls, an oasis of calm. Low two storey terracotta buildings surrounding lawns and a pool lend a sense of...

Cap d'Antibes
Of all the grand and exclusive hotels along a grand and exclusive coast, the Hotel du Cap Eden Roc is the grandest of them all. With rose gardens, tennis courts and long green lawns it has oceans of space - a wide promendade leads down to the sea,...

Riviera Cote d'Azur
|
Juan-Les-Pins
The Art Deco Belles Rives has a solid pedigree, which of course the hotel trades on heavily: in the 20s it was home to Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, a fact echoed in the art deco theme today. It is on a surprisingly crowded stretch of coast in...

St Remy de Provence
As you drive up the short but impressive avenue of plane trees from the road from St Remy you are instantly captivated. This is everything you imagine a dreamy southern chateau to be: solid, imposing, sleepy and slightly fallen from grace. As you...

Gordes
Les Bories is a charming resort hotel in mature provencal grounds with sweeping views over the surrounding landscape. The draw here is the large pool, in open rural setting, its fine restaurant - the original 2000 yr old 'bories' or shepherds...

Gordes
The second option around Gordes for the comfort-inclined is La Bastide de Gordes. This hotel is in the village itself, clinging to the rockside with fine views across the chasm-like valley to where the road winds up from the coast. Reception is on...

St Remy de Provence
For those seeking an authentic rural experience with a hint of comfort - just a hint, mind, this is not super-luxurious - but at a reasonable price, Domaine de Valmouriane will work well. The hotel, a converted 18thC farmhouse with just 14 rooms, is...

Riviera Cote d'Azur

St Tropez
The classic St Trop hotel for yachties - as opposed to poseurs. A three star, right on the port, the nautical long bar is buzzing at night and ideal for lounging lazily in the day. Rooms are small but prettily furnished if basic, with old-fashioned...

Ile-de-France

Paris
The Opera Victoires is a small boutique hotel in a great location near the great market of Les Halles. The pedestrianised street is full of mouthwatering food shops, cafes and boutiques, and while the hotel itself is on the street, the lack of cars...

Auchtermuchty
Half an hour north of Edinburgh is the unpronounceable village of Auchtermuchty. The landscape here is unremarkable, the tree-less hills rippling away towards the more dramatic highlands not far to the north. Myres sits in a small park just outside...
