Prades Hotels, France

Perched like a grandiose and elegant eyrie opposite the snow-capped peak of Mont Canigou, the Chateau de Riell guards the portals to the wild Catalan region. This intimate, comfortable haven, echoing with the sound of Pablo Casals' cello and Flamenco guitars, is an idyllic setting in which to savor noble vintages and delicious, sun-drenched cuisine. Its thermal baths endow you with an exquisite sense of well-being. More on the Chateau de Riell...
