Glass doors glide open to reveal fine gilt-framed paintings and trickling wall fountains in this intimate Napoleon III–style villa. Complete with coffee machines and minibars, most of the 12 elegant rooms are very spacious, with original marble fireplaces and new, semi-classically styled furniture. There's a quiet guest lounge, mini-library and attractive garden with sun loungers and statuary.
Service is personal and highly obliging. Dressing gowns and towels are available for those heading to the Thermes de Spa, for which a discount entry ticket (€18) is available to guests. Sunday-night bargain rates can drop as low as €89, including breakfast.
