£9.74 (RRP £14.99)
A seductive collection of over 380 hotels, châteaux, auberges and other places, all beautiful, unusual and great value and all inspected and then selected because we like them. Seasonal, fresh and local food is de rigueur and, at many châteaux, dinners are hosted around a communal table.
Over 150 of these places have rooms for €100 or less. Wine tasting, bike trips, cookery courses, tango workshops, antique hunting, making your own scent – all these activities are possible.
“Full of sumptuous châteaux, converted convents and rose-covered cottages. Spend a few hours with it and you won’t be able to resist booking a holiday.”
Living France
“Up-to-date and reliable and a popular guide for the traveller who is looking for an individual and authentic place to stay.”
Living France

French Magazine
“The latest offering from Alastair Sawday is a reminder that there are still hotels out there that are owned by people and not companies.”
Everything France
“Something to suit absolutely everyone, from a simple auberge to a sumptious suite in a château.”
