You'll feel like you have the small village of Valaurie to yourself in this quiet, peaceful getaway. The hotel, in the style of an old mill, is set back from the main road and secluded by gardens, trees and a creek in back. The village of Valaurie itself is about 1 kilometer away, up on a hill. The staff is very courteous and helpful, the grounds seem vast, and the hotel is very comfortable and feels brand new. There's a bakery 1 kilometer down the road that opens at 5am, when you're craving a French baguette.
