A perched village in the Vaucluse transformed into a hotel, between dry stone and view of Mont Ventoux.
Hotel Crillon le Brave
From
455.473 €
“Overflow pool carved into the old village, facing Mont Ventoux.”
Hotel Crillon le Brave occupies the stone houses of a perched village in the Vaucluse, between Avignon and Mont Ventoux. We climb narrow alleyways, ochre facades and blue shutters, before discovering the terrace and its view opening onto the vines. The pool, simple but well placed, looks straight towards the Ventoux: it is the kind of view we do not show enough in photos. The rooms, spread across several old buildings, retain exposed beams and stones, without falling into generic rustic-chic. The spa and fitness room complete the wellness offer, useful after a day on the road in the Luberon. Expect from 455 € the night, a rate that reflects above all the rarity of the place more than flashy luxury. The service remains attentive, but the address clearly focuses on the setting rather than the glitz 😌.
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend this address to couples seeking a calm weekend between Avignon and the Ventoux, far from urban bustle. It is a hotel for lovers of old stones and open spaces, rather than those seeking nightlife. Families with children find their place thanks to family rooms, but the overall atmosphere remains focused on rest and landscape.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The hotel extends across several old buildings of the village of Crillon-le-Brave, around the church square. Local stone, colourful shutters, steep alleyways: the architecture stays true to Provençal construction, with no visible modern rebuild. Inside, exposed beams and raw materials dominate, in a style that avoids overly polished décor. The whole gives the impression of an inhabited hamlet rather than a standard hotel.

Location & access
Where the hotel sits in Avignon
Hotel Crillon le Brave sits at the top of a village in the Vaucluse, a half-hour drive from Avignon. Mont Ventoux dominates the horizon, and the vineyards of the Dentelles de Montmirail stretch below. The village itself is tiny, silent in the evening, with no shops or notable animation on site. A car is needed to explore Avignon, Gordes or the villages of the Luberon.
