    Villa Maia

    Panoramic city views

    Elegant interiors and lush gardens

    Perched gracefully upon the hill of Fourvière, where the echoes of the Gallo-Roman civilisation reverberate, lies Villa Maïa. This villa gazes upon a panoramic view that stretches from the lush gardens below to the distant tapestry of the city’s rooftops. The decor of the suites and rooms are masterfully curated, seamlessly blending with the site’s timeless allure. The bathrooms feature Carrara marble and polished nickel, their glass partitions granting connection to the bedrooms.

    For moments of relaxation, indulge in the 20-metre heated indoor pool, where you can revel in a tranquil swim or simply wind down whilst gazing upon the verdant garden expanse. Envelop yourself in the sublime revitalisation of the sauna, hammam, and Jacuzzi, or keep up with your fitness routine in the fitness room that features an array of Technogym equipment.

    Places to combine Villa Maia with

    Royal Champagne Hotel & Spa

    France

    Royal Champagne Hotel & Spa

    Joining Champagne’s already spoiling choice of luxury hotels and retreats is the impressive Royal Champagne Hotel & Spa. Teetering on a hill overlooking the vineyards from every corner, the hotel’s beautifully-appointed rooms and suites elegantly draw upon the verdant valley outside, embracing nature and offering every creature comfort.

    The hotel is a creation of famous architect Giovanni Pace who is known for his work at the iconic champagne house of Moët & Chandon. Between poolside sessions, you can hop to the spa for a vast range of treatments available from Biologique Recherche.

    To dine, there is the intimate Salon Fines Bulles. Start the evening with caviar and Champagne and enjoy a 4 course dinner served by your dedicated butler. And to drink, there is the Abysse Bar, a sophisticated venue that serves up delicious concoctions from 12pm to 11.30pm.

    And when you start feeling a little too isolated, head out to explore the surroundings – electric bikes are available to borrow or sign up for a hot air balloon experience above the vines.

    Les Sources De Caudalie

    Bordeaux

    Les Sources De Caudalie

    In the renowned vineyards of Château Smith Haut Lafitte, around 17km (11 miles) outside of Bordeaux, Les Sources de Caudalie is a rural retreat celebrating the best of this Southwest France’s cultural and culinary heritage.

    There are 40 rooms and 21 suites split amongst the sprawling property, with most in six buildings that, while looking thoroughly historic, were specially built using huge reclaimed beams from abandoned local properties. Most have a terrace or a balcony with a beautiful view on the Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte’s vineyards or over the lake.

    There is also the Village des Pêcheurs – or Fishermen’s village – with 12 suites on stilts around a small lake inspire by the oyster-farms of the Arcachon Bay. Additionally, there is the unique Ile aux Oiseaux suite, a wooden pavilion standing out over the water on stilts, adventurously redecorated by a different designer every 3 or 4 years.

    The spa here comes from the inventors of ‘vinotherapy’, with treatments combining the anti-ageing properties of polyphenols contained in grape-seeds and the spa’s own natural hot-water spring in the most tranquil of settings.

    The senses will continue to be treated at either of the two restaurants here, whether with fine seasonal French dining and fittingly fabulous wine list at the twice Michelin starred La Grand’Vigne, bistro-style food at Table de Lavoir, or at either of the two wine bars.

    Activities from Les Sources de Caudalie include wine tasting, wine tasting lessons and cooking classes. Excursions to explore the surrounding sites, such as boat trip into Bordeaux or to rustic Saint-Émilion, can also be arranged.
