Clos de la Glycine

The Luberon


You’re paying a hefty premium for the view at this attractive hotel in the middle of Roussillon – but, boy, what a view! Rooms overlook your choice of ochre cliffs or the Luberon valley, and feel distinctively French, with artfully distressed paintwork and rococo furniture. The hotel's restaurant, David, is smart, but breakfast is very steep at €15.
