The Hotel Crillon le Brave in Provence, France has opened a new Spa des Ecuries in the former stables of an 18th century house.

Located in the rolling, rural Provencal countryside, the hotel is made up of eight historic houses; the intimate Spa des Ecuries features three treatment rooms set within traditional Provence limestone walls.

Treatments feature Bamford products, a UK-based line owned by Lady Carole Bamford, who also owns the Daylesford Organic farms, farm shops and cafes. It also includes a range of hand and feet treatments from nail brand OPI.

A Bamford Signature Massage incorporates shiatsu, Swedish massage and reflexology, and culminates with assisted yogic breathing.

A Cyclist/Walker Legs & Feet Massage is also on offer, as the area surrounding Hotel Crillon le Brave includes winding roads that lead to areas of natural beauty, including local vineyards and hamlets, and is a haven for walkers and cyclists alike. Mont Ventoux – a huge draw for cyclists – is nearby as well.

“Spa des Ecuries offers an intimate setting for guests to immerse themselves in the warmth and comfort of the beautiful Crillon le Brave,” said spa manager Pauline Ballot. “It offers a wonderful new spa element for the hotel, with the tranquillity of the natural surroundings echoed in the use of Bamford, whose pure botanical products enrich the atmosphere of serene and holistic luxury.”
