What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Within these stone walls is a whitewashed, minimalist, surprisingly modern boutique hotel housed across 18 medieval houses that are connected by walkways, staircases, bridges, and patios.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Perched high in Castillon-du-Gard, cobblestone lanes lead out past ancient ramparts with the Roman aqueduct of Pont du Gard close by.
The rooms
Bedrooms frame views of village lanes and courtyards through deep embrasures, pairing crisp linens and terracotta tiles with clean-lined stone surfaces.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool sits beside an ancient stone tower, looking out across the valley toward Mont Ventoux.
The spa
Clarins rituals fill individual and duo cabins, alongside a whirlpool bath and quiet relaxation rooms.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Provencal dinners are served under vaulted stone arches. By day, the outdoor terrace serves Mediterranean plates overlooking the valley.
How it began
Assembled over decades around tenth-century ramparts, the retreat spans Renaissance homes linked by stone archways above the medieval alleys.
