At the foot of Mont Ventoux, in a village draped in ivy and bathed in southern light, stands a retreat where time seems to pause. This luxury hotel in Provence unfolds behind façades softened by centuries, stone houses entwined with vine leaves, and terraces overlooking a horizon of vineyards and olive groves.
A sense of discreet elegance pervades every courtyard and shaded alley, offering the kind of calm that restores balance and inspires connection. Crillon le Brave is a haven, a sensorial embrace that brings together the authenticity of Provençal life and the refinement of contemporary design.
Lingering beneath wisteria-covered pergolas, gazing at the shifting colours of the Ventoux at dusk, or sharing the simple pleasure of a meal prepared with local flavours, each moment here feels imbued with timeless grace.
A contemporary vision of luxury in Provence
Today, a luxury hotel in Provence is defined not by ostentation but by a refined sobriety, a seamless dialogue with the landscape, and an atmosphere suffused with authenticity. At Crillon le Brave, this spirit is embodied in an ensemble of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century houses gathered around the heart of an ancient village. Narrow passages, sun-warmed stones, and terraced gardens create an intimate labyrinth where every corner reveals a new perspective on the valley.
Rooms and suites
Inside, the hotel offers 17 rooms and 17 suites designed by Charles Zana. Terracotta tiles and Provençal red floors meet soft textures and muted tones, creating luminous interiors that feel both contemporary and welcoming. Every space celebrates local heritage while affording the comfort and quiet elegance that discerning travellers seek.
Gastronomy
Dining at La Table du Ventoux is an ode to the Provence region. Plates are painted with the colours and flavours of Provence, olive oil, herbs, sun-ripened vegetables, all savoured against a panoramic backdrop of vineyards and the majestic Mont Ventoux. The Bar, with its vaulted ceilings, soft pastels, and glowing fireplace, invites moments of conviviality: a pastis on a summer evening, or a warming hot chocolate by the fire in cooler months.
Well-being
The Spa des Écuries, set within former vaulted stables, offers a sanctuary of wellness. Treatments by Tata Harper, crafted from natural ingredients, combine with serene stone arches and gentle light. A turquoise pool extends the sense of tranquillity, opening onto wide views of the valley.
Local experiences
From here, the Provençal landscape unfurls in every direction. The ascent of Mont Ventoux, the art galleries of surrounding villages, and the vineyards in Provence that shape this region all lie within easy reach. Each excursion extends the hotel’s philosophy of authentic immersion and refined discovery. Cycling routes, colourful markets, and UNESCO-listed heritage sites add further layers to the Provençal experience.
Seasonal rhythm
Crillon le Brave closes from 5 October 2025 to 3 April 2026, preparing to unveil nine new rooms, a second pool, and an expanded spa. These additions will further enrich its promise: the quiet elegance of a luxury hotel in Provence, reimagined with even greater depth. At Crillon le Brave, a sense of calm pervades every moment.
