17 Best Hotels in the South of France

"This well-located, old-world-meets-new village property offers an ideal blend of quintessential countryside charm with trendsetting, tasteful design. The hotel’s ivy-covered stone walls and typical sky-blue shutters invite guests inside, where the feeling of warmth continues to permeate the decor and service. Creamy, curved rooms are dotted with art, ceramics and wildflowers, and there's the odd hangover from the building's former life as an oil mill (look out for the press in the dining room). Apéro is taken on the street-side terrace, supper is eaten in the rose-covered terrace outback, and you can pop in to the epicerie across the road to pick up local treats to snack on in your room. Everyone here works to lend a hand, be it with the luggage up those steps, giving directions to the Sunday market in L’Isle sur la Sorgue, or unlocking one of the free bikes for a ride around the village. Don’t skip the homemade Fougasse grilled with olive oil at dinner! —Sara Leiberman" - Lanie Goodman, Sarah James
