From French châteaux to Algarve idylls, book a three-star hotel with something special
Across Europe there is a host of three-star hotels that offer a lot more than their rating suggests.
These beautiful boltholes often have heaps of character, a family history, and good food. They are the kind of places that make you feel at home, where airs and graces are not required, and the welcome is heartfelt.
Stay in a palacio in Seville, or savour the faded splendour of a Loire château. Look across a vast private garden in Florence, or escape to a stylish retreat in the Algarve.
Read on to discover some of the top hotels that made the list — each reviewed by Telegraph travel experts.
A former family home outside Lagos, Quinta Bonita is now a stylish hideaway with tranquil gardens and eight rooms with granite bathrooms. There's a good beach nearby, and the food is largely home grown and organic.
Set in the Loire’s châteaux land, this extraordinary country estate has forest trails, outdoor art and the finest tomato collection in France. Interiors feature Chinese antiques, botanical prints and hunting trophies.
La Roseraie, 'The Rose Garden', is a bourgeois mansion within a green paradise of century-old roses. The gentle Vézère River flows through the grounds, and the prehistoric cave paintings of Lascaux IV are nearby.
Occupying two 19th-century palazzi with faded pastel façades, Hotel Gutkowski is a seamless fusion of urban minimalism, beachcomber chic and designer retro. There is a lovely roof terrace looking out to sea and sky.
AdAstra has a privileged setting in one of the great private gardens of Florence. Inspired by the concept of a Parisian hotel particulier (townhouse), this boutique hotel feels like an aristocratic private apartment.
This 17th-century palacio in the heart of Seville’s old town has been reinvented as a deluxe boutique hotel. It’s a classy affair with fine art amid marble, Romanesque pillars, wooden beams and state-of-the-art lighting.
