La Borie d'Hélipse

Volcanic stone, slate, and wood construction places this boutique hotel firmly in the language of the Auvergne, right on the edge of Tournemire. The dining room terrace faces the medieval Château d'Anjony, and rooms come with private terraces over the Doire Valley, split between rustic-chic wooden floors and floral-wallpapered romanticism. An indoor pool and hammam round things out for days when the scenery stops being enough.
