On the edge of one of the Côtes du Rhône villages at Rasteau (84 Vaucluse, Provence PACA) the Hotel Bellerive is surrounded by vineyards – a haven of peace in the midst of the Rasteau vineyard.
With panoramic views over Mont Ventoux and the Dentelles de Montmirail there is a majestic landscape which stretches out to the horizon. Nestling among the hills,the Hotel Bellerive is near Vaison la Romaine (listed in the “Most beautiful detours of France” guide) and offers a grand estate with a heated pool and Jacuzzis from mid-February.
Between Vaison la Romaine and Orange, the village of Rasteau is the starting point for many paths and trails beloved of hikers and cyclists. Hotel Bellerive, a partner of Provence à vélo cycling organisation, is at your service to ensure you enjoy the perfect stay at the heart of the Pays Vaison Ventoux.
The wines of the Côtes du Rhône are typically rich spicy reds. Rasteau is one of a small number of Côtes du Rhône villages acknowledged to produce better quality wines, which comes from their position on the hillsides on the edge of the Rhône valley, and Rasteau has recently been elevated to a Cru – so the botttles will be AOP Rasteau. Here Grenache is the predominant grape variety. Some red, rosé and white Côtes du Rhône are also produced
