As the beautiful season approaches and Paris begins to buzz a little louder, it’s time to think about escaping the urban frenzy. But not just any escape: we’re talking about destinations that tell stories, offer real experiences, and allow you to breathe a little slower. Curated by @TheBedIssue, here are five carefully selected hotels, each with its own unique charm, where the beauty lies in the details, in the disheveled beds, and in the moments lived. Every corner invites you to leave traces of your own story.

1. Capelongue – Bonnieux, Provence

If you’re looking for a slice of paradise in the heart of Provence, Capelongue is the perfect escape. This boutique hotel, nestled among hills and valleys, is the ideal retreat for those seeking peace and some quality time away from it all. The room? A serene corner where natural light filters gently through the curtains. And as the bed lies undone, you can sense the authenticity of a night lived in complete harmony with the surrounding landscape. The charm of Capelongue lies not just in comfort, but in its ability to make you feel at home, away from everything. Every corner of this hotel invites you to rediscover the value of slowness and the beauty of rural life.

2. Le Galinier – Lourmarin, Provence

Imagine waking up in a Provençal Guesthouse in the heart of Luberon, where every corner of Le Galinier is designed to help you recharge. This elegant relais offers a tranquil yet vibrant atmosphere, much like the Luberon itself. The rooms strike a perfect balance between rustic charm and modern comfort, and every time you return from a walk through the hills, the only thing waiting for you is a bed, ready to embrace you after a day of pure relaxation. The uniqueness of Le Galinier lies in the welcoming feeling it exudes, as if every guest were part of a landscape that feels timeless. Here, each disheveled bed tells a different story, from breakfast chats to walks in the gardens.

3. Le Moulin – Lourmarin, Provence

For a more intimate getaway, Le Moulin in Lourmarin is a true gem. This former mill transformed into a cozy retreat is a place where time seems to slow down. Imagine waking up to the sound of a flowing stream in a room where the disheveled bed is a sign of a peaceful night. The hotel exudes a rustic charm, yet offers refined comfort, with a landscape that invites complete immersion in nature. Perfect for a romantic escape or simply to recharge your batteries in a corner of Provence that feels both historical and fresh, Le Moulin offers a deeply personal experience. Its rooms, with rustic details and vintage furniture, have a natural beauty that surrounds you.

4. Hotel du Couvent – Nice, French Riviera

For those seeking a tranquil escape on the glamorous French Riviera, Hotel du Couvent in Nice is the perfect choice. This former convent, transformed into a serene contemporary hotel, offers a peaceful oasis just a short distance from the vibrant city life. With its minimalist design and a blend of history and modernity, the hotel provides an ideal space to unwind and reconnect with yourself. The rooms at Hotel du Couvent are a perfect mix of calm and sophistication, inviting you to forget the rush of the world outside. The disheveled bed, in this case, speaks to the quietude of the night before, as you wake up to the first rays of sunlight filtering through the windows. It’s a refreshing retreat that feels both historical and contemporary, a true sanctuary by the sea.

5. La Colombe d'Or – Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Provence

Perched on the hillside of the enchanting village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, La Colombe d'Or is a legendary haven that seamlessly marries art, history, and hospitality. Originally a modest inn that became a sanctuary for artists like Picasso, Matisse, and Chagall, today it remains a treasure trove of masterpieces, with its walls adorned by an exquisite collection of paintings and sculptures. The lush garden, shaded by ancient olive trees, is a serene escape, while the sun-drenched terrace offers a perfect spot for leisurely meals. Inside, the rooms are a blend of rustic Provençal charm and understated elegance, each a canvas of memories. But it is the bed, with its linens gently tousled, a quiet testament to restful nights, that captures the soul of this place. A bed where whispers of history and the tranquil silence of the village night embrace you. Here, the disheveled bed is more than a simple detail; it is a story of dreams, of stolen moments, and of waking up surrounded by art, sunlight filtering through the windows, and the scent of blooming jasmine.
