Hostellerie Pierre du Calvet

Frommer's Review

Step from cobblestone streets into an opulent 18th-century home boasting beamed ceilings, plush velvet curtains, gold-leafed writing desks, and four-poster beds of teak mahogany. The wildly atmospheric public spaces are furnished with original antiques -- not reproductions. Likewise, the voluptuous dining room, Les Filles du Roy, suggests a 19th-century hunting lodge. (If you've ever watched Masterpiece Theatre and thought, "What I wouldn't give to live there," this hotel is for you.) Some bedrooms sport fireplaces, and room no. 6 even has a shower with stone walls. Two unfortunate notes: The new flatscreen TVs appear as discordant here as Victoria Beckham does at Versailles (although they will be removed upon request), and door locks are awfully rickety (it's best to try to imagine them as romantic period pieces). In 2006, a walled-in outdoor courtyard with a small fountain was converted into a dining terrace; it makes for a wonderful little hideaway.
