Maison À Deux Mains

A restored 18th-century residence in the Grand Cru village of Aÿ-Champagne, this is a B&B that has quietly made the label feel inadequate. The five rooms sit comfortably alongside proper luxury hotels, and some combine into two-bedroom suites. Breakfast uses local produce, and when nearby restaurants go dark, a five-course dinner can be arranged. Champagne is, as you'd hope given the postcode, never far away.
