If there’s a finer hotel in France, please tell us. Bagnols, a 13th-century castle rising above the vineyards of Beaujolais, is sheer, unadulterated sophistication. With only 21 rooms and suites, all decked out in sumptuous period furniture, manicured lawns and a fabulous Michelin-starred restaurant, it’s worth every one of the quite considerable number of pennies you need to stay here.
