La Côte Saint-Jacques

Rooms and suites at this refined small hotel in Burgundy look out over the river Yonne and forested hills, many with private patios for sitting with the landscape. The Lorain family has run it for generations, and the residential warmth shows: you feel like a houseguest with better linens. A two-level spa, hammam, and heated pool handle the recovery between vineyard visits and long dinners downstairs.
