La Belle de Crillon

Step through the front door of this magnificent home and within moments you'll understand the reason for its name. The panoramic view of the Provençal sky, Mont Ventoux, and a sea of vineyards and orchards is stunning. Perched on a hillside in the small village of Crillon le Brave, it offers these views from every one of its six bedrooms and salons spread over 6000 sq ft of luxuriously-appointed living space. In the Tour de France, the Mont Ventoux climb is rated for hors category in English, which roughly means Wow! In terms of style, luxury and amenities, La Belle Crillon is a definite High Class. The spacious en-suite bedrooms could all pass for 5-star hotel suites. Elegant sitting rooms adorn each floor . Outside, the plunge pool is heated and the terraces are wrap-around. There is even an elevator connecting the four floors (ever-so handy when you forget your Herald Tribune upstairs). This property sleeps up to 12 guests in 6 bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms (tubs and separate showers).
Note: all Twin beds can be configured as Kings. 1st floor powder room.

Perched (literally) on the edge of a sought-after hilltop village, the house offers picture postcard vistas from every floor, window, terrace and balcony of Mont Ventoux, vineyards, orchards and winding country roads. Proximity to a variety of activities is the piece de resistance - wine tastings, animated open-air markets, scenic villages and historic towns, shopping and antiques. Many excellent restaurants are local, including three in the village, just steps away.

First floor: bedroom 1 (King) with fireplace in sitting area, balcony, claw foot tub; bedroom 2 (Twins) with small sitting/TV room, balcony.
