Saint-Paul-de-Vence
,
France
Inside the ramparts of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Le Saint-Paul occupies a 16th-century residence whose terraces and windows look across the village roofs and surrounding hills. Its small collection of rooms and suites uses antiques, patterned fabrics and individually composed colour schemes within irregular historic proportions. The restaurant moves between a vaulted dining room and a planted terrace, while the bar and wine cellar add quieter spaces within the stone structure. There is no resort-style separation from the destination: narrow lanes, galleries and the village walls begin directly outside, and the upper terraces remain closely connected to the Provençal landscape beyond.
