In the height of summer, visitors yearn for respite and relaxation from the hustle and bustle of the city. Few places are more popular than Mediterranean seaside and hidden hilltop villages of Provence. Yet increasingly with rising temperatures and bigger crowds, the shoulder seasons have become more popular. The weather is still nice but not oppressively hot. Crowds have dispersed. Reservations are easier to come by. Best of all, prices drop. Whether you are planning to visit Provence in peak season, or during the less busy months, here are some of the most exciting luxury hotels to have opened in Provence in recent seasons.
Mondrian, Cannes
