Crillon le Brave

Jump to:

Nestled in a small hilltop village in the heart of the Lubéron National Park in Provence, Crillon le Brave is set in a cluster of eight rustic village buildings. The elegant rooms are flooded with natural light and offer views of either the Provençal landscape or the village of Crillon le Brave. This property provides an indulgent retreat with a large pool where you can enjoy panoramic views, treatment rooms where you can relax with a massage and three excellent restaurants. You can explore locally on foot and dine in the lovely village restaurants just a short walk from the hotel, or you can also choose to visit nearby Avignon which is about a 45-minute drive away.

OUR OPINION:

We love this hotel for offering an authentic Provençal village experience with commanding views across the landscape from its peaceful setting.
