Hôtel Les Glycines

This looker of a hotel has beautiful gardens set among the trappings of the 19th-century building. You get top quality cuisine (courtesy of a bistro and a chic restaurant), comfortable accommodation, and drinks on a veranda with a grape arbor. Rooms are painted in relaxing neutral shades, combining regional charm with designer style. Some rooms look out over the ample, tree-filled grounds. You’ll also find a beautiful spa, replete with a sauna and an indoor pool. Dishes at the bistro might include pan-fried snails, veal with asparagus and caramel rice pudding (mains 29€ ; fixed-price lunch 39€), while the one-star Michelin restaurant ups the game with modern twists on foie gras, cèpes, and truffles (fixed-price menus range from 75€ to 135€). Many ingredients come from the hotel’s impressive kitchen garden.
