This 17th-century
Carmelite convent is now a stately country hotel with the best
restaurant in town. Although it's in a noisy neighborhood, most rooms
face the unspoiled cloister. You'll wake to the scent of roses and the
sounds of birds singing. Throughout you'll find a blend of antique
neoclassic architecture and modern amenities. The decor is luxurious,
with antique Provençal furnishings found at auctions throughout the
countryside. The interior rooms are the most tranquil and also the
darkest, though enlivened by bright fabrics. Most of the downstairs
units are spacious, and although the upstairs rooms are small, they have
a certain old-world charm. The rooms in the modern extensions are
comfortable but lack character. |
