Fodor's Expert Review Baudon de Mauny

The finest rooms in Montpellier (and quite possibly the whole region) can be found at this chic guesthouse on one of the historic district's nicest streets. In the same family since 1829, the urban mansion is now an elite bed-and-breakfast and an architect's dream. Soothing modern art and soft contemporary design blends ever so gracefully with Louis XVI period features—like original sculpted wall friezes, extraordinarily voluminous rooms, and stately stone floors. Personal service, attention to detail, and ultimate luxury make this the address for travelers seeking the best of comfort and culture. If you're vacationing with a larger group, ask about the apartment that comes with a kitchen.
