Euro Stars.(Hotel review)
Byline: RICHARD ALLEMAN editor: Valerie Steiker
Rich in charm, low in price, rooms in some of Europe's chicest new hotels can be found for '200 and under a night.
Sketches of Spain
In a seventeenth-century manor house in the enchanting white Spanish hill town of Vejer de la Frontera, the brand-new Hotel V offers twelve impeccably minimalist rooms, glorious views of the Andalusian countryside, and rates as low as '200 a night. Besides exploring the town, guests can check out nearby Cadiz as well as quiet beaches and pristine pine forests; hotelv-vejer.com. . . . North of Valencia, El Maestrazgo--with its great rocky mountains and unspoiled medieval villages, called aldeas --is one of the country's least-traveled regions. Created from the restored ruins of an abandoned aldea, the rustically chic hotel AldeaRoqueta overlooks antiquated plazas and lanes. This peaceful spot is a great base for hiking and biking, and has a pretty pond for swimming as well as a restaurant serving regional game and fish specialties. Junior suites from '170, including breakfast and dinner; aldearoqueta.com.
La Vie Boheme
Tucked away in southern France's reenergized Montpellier, Baudon de Mauny is a charming getaway. Housed in an eighteenth-century nobleman's mansion, its five guest rooms feature high ceilings, Cole & Son wallpapers, modernist furniture--and rates as low as '175 for a double, including breakfast. Located in Montpellier's atmospheric historic district, the inn is steps from the city's sixteenth-century botanical garden and from the spectacular, recently expanded Fabre museum; baudondemauny.com. . . . The storied Norman harbor town of Honfleur--with its cobbled streets, timbered houses, and fine seafood restaurants--now boasts La Petite Folie, with five well-appointed rooms (decorated with antiques and Porthault linens) and three apartments within a former sea captain's residence and in a fourteenth-century annex next door. Rooms from '130, including breakfast; chicretreats.com. . . . Just off the ...
