Fodor's Expert Review La Bastide Saint-Georges

You can unwind in total comfort at this retreat—in a semirural area near the village of Forcalquier and amid the Luberon Natural Park—where each contemporary villa is done in earth tones and has a private terrace. Take advantage of the indoor or outdoor pools and spa (with a steam room and whirlpool tub), which are set among gnarled olive trees and pretty gardens. Overlooking the hotel's sun-drenched grounds, the Casa Gia restaurant (open for lunch and dinner) serves Mediterranean specialties and seafood.
