Housed in a 16th-century former mansion wrapped by vineyards in Montpellier's outskirts, the luxury Domaine de Verchant is a romantic boutique hotel with luxe touches at every turn. Its 26 rooms are spread between the chateau, outhouses, and an old forge, all of which are chic and modern, outfitted with minibars, swish bathrooms -- many with whirlpool tubs -- and Apple computers. Some have terraces and apartment-style units provide full kitchens. Gourmet dining, two serene pools, an elegant spa with a hydrotherapy pool, and well-equipped gym are high-end features. Parking and Wi-Fi are free, but expect fees for Nespresso pods apply. This is great pick for peace-seeking couples, but travelers wanting to be in the town center should look at The Pullman, though it's not as upmarket.
