More than a hotel, Crillon Le Brave is the heart and soul of the village it takes its name from. This 5-star hide-away facing Mont Ventoux is one of Provence\u2019s best kept secrets. And we couldn't be more pleased to hear it will be reopening on 13 May!<\/h4>\n

The story of this atypical hotel is rich in Proven\u00e7al tradition, but it all came about almost by chance some 30\u00a0years ago. In the summer of 1988, the English-Canadian couple Peter and Carolyn Chittick were on the hunt for a property to convert into a hotel. It was a case of love at first sight when they came across a large house in the village of Crillon-le-Brave (Vaucluse) at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail and Mont Ventoux, which they transformed into a hotel with 11 guest rooms. Over the years, the hotel expanded to 34 rooms and suites, creating a delightful hamlet at the top of the village. Spread across nine 17th<\/sup> and 18th<\/sup> century buildings, the hotel\u2019s rooms are connected by bridges, passages and discreet courtyards... Each house has its own charm and unique character, reflecting the richness of the village\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
