Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel de la Villeon

A spectacular 17th-century building provides the elegant bones for this stunning hotel conveniently located in the heart of Tournon. Breathtaking views of rolling hills and vineyards await you from each of the hotel's 16 rooms, which are beautifully furnished in luxe contemporary style with antique touches (parquet floors, original moldings, tasteful artwork, and some with handsome fireplaces) and modern amenities (spacious marble baths and large windows). A lovely in-house bar, with a sprawling outdoor terrace, offers a nice selection of local wines and nibbles, and the breakfast room, flooded with light reflecting off crisp white linens, is simply enchanting (as are the breakfasts). In warm weather, breakfast is served in the extensive, flower-strewn garden, with lovely views over the village.
