This boutique hotel is located in Alvados, a quaint rural village. Each of the rooms is whimsically decorated in line with an emotion: Meditation, Melancholy, Fun, Nostalgia etc. It's clever, though the design elements are hardly understated. The result is a blast of design gimmicks from the sublime (unique rooms with vistas) to the less so (plaques in English lettering).
We do love the quirky blowfly light globes, however. The rest is a full-on experience: relaxing spa treatments, swimming pools of various temperatures and walks in the stunning surrounds. And there's an appealing gourmet element; you help a chef prepare the evening meals. Dinner excluding alcohol costs €30. A unique stay, though not for everyone.
