Find châteaux, manors, farms, domains, abbeys, inns, and mills converted with panache and imagination. Sleep and dream in a canopied four-poster or a former nunnery, in rooms from the suave to the baroque, under sumptuous silk or simple white linen. Enjoy a wine tasting, a ramble, a bike trip, a cooking course, or a hunt for mushrooms--all are possible with the help of Alastair Sawday. The accommodations in this book include wonderful values. All are inspected--and worth a long visit. Each entry has full-color photographs, regional maps, and precise directions.
