The 11th-century monastery where political theorist Jean-Jacques Rousseau once resided is now the renowned Restaurant-Hotel St Petersinsel. If you've never stayed in a former monastery on an island, here's your chance. Well-cared-for guestrooms and suites are surprisingly large and light-filled, featuring period furnishings complemented by up-to-date technologies and lovely lake or garden views.
