Hotel du Clos

Top choice in Grasse


Hidden in the hills 10km east of Grasse, this village retreat began as a restaurant (now Michelin-starred) and has since expanded with a second bistro and this lovely hotel, housed in a 17th-century farmhouse and barn. It’s effortlessly tasteful, with chic rooms, cosy country decor and swanky bathrooms. The best rooms have views over gardens and olive trees.
