The hotel’s design and atmosphere exude that Provençal class that has you feeling like you’re in a story book or a movie, with every corner offering a sense of curation and thought. Nestled on a hilltop, it boasts incredible views of the surrounding landscape. The pool area is the hotel’s crown jewel, featuring a view perfect for soaking up the sun and the serene ambiance.

The food at the hotel is nothing short of spectacular. Each meal was a culinary delight, prepared with the finest local ingredients and presented with exquisite care. Dining with such amazing views added an extra layer of enjoyment.

THE ROOMS

We stayed in one of the beautiful rooms that perfectly encapsulates the hotel’s blend of luxury and simplicity. To celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary, the hotel included a special touch that made our stay unforgettable: a bottle of champagne, delicious cakes, and a congratulatory note awaited us in our room. It was a heartfelt gesture that exemplified the hotel’s commitment to creating memorable experiences for their guests.

Our room was spacious and elegantly decorated, with a comfortable bed and all the modern amenities you could wish for. The view from our window was absolutely amazing, overlooking the rolling hills of Provence. We were pretty damn excited to be there.

THE FOOD

Breakfast is an absolute feast. The buffet includes everything from fresh fruits and pastries eggs cooked to perfection. Each morning started on a delicious note, with many cups of coffee of course. We loved having breakfast on the terrace, taking in the morning Vit D (what Londoners need the most), and the gorgeous views.

The hotel’s restaurant La Table du Ventoux is a brilliant choice for those wishing to dine at Crillon le Brave who aren’t staying as guests. La Table du Ventoux offers a menu that celebrates the flavors of Provence. Offering both lunch or dinner on the terrace, the view is…french kiss! All meals were a highlight of our stay (This is France after all!)

THE POOL

The pool is a proper oasis, offering one of the most incredible views in Provence. Surrounded by lush greenery and overlooking the beautiful landscape, it was the perfect spot to relax and drink rose (of course) I also fear that I enjoyed an episode of the Kardashians here (I must’ve been incredibly rested) We spent hours by the pool, soaking up the sun and the atmopshere.

THE PEOPLE

The staff truly made our stay special. Their warm hospitality and helpfulness added so much to our experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and cared for. They provided excellent recommendations for exploring the local town and nearby attractions, as well as the most amazing restaurant only a few minutes walk away!! - They certainly ensured we made the most of our time in Crillon le Brave.
