Fodor's Expert Review Maison Aribert

This pilgrimage-worthy inn located in Uriage-les-Bains, 16 kilometers (10 miles) from Grenoble in a verdant mountain-ringed park, offers guests a tranquil, ultrasophisticated gastronomic getaway. The 19th-century half-timbered house was transformed into a masterpiece of contemporary, eco-friendly design, with soaring ceilings in the common spaces and five beautifully decorated guestrooms—complete with vintage design furniture and cloudlike organic bedding—with views over the impossibly green park from your private terrace. But chef Aribert's two-Michelin-star cuisine is the star of the show, and guests have the luxury of dining on sublime dishes that reflect all the richness of the surrounding nature before rolling into bed.
