The Bar/Lounge at Auberge du Soleil

"Watch the sun set by the fire or outdoors on the wraparound deck at the Bistro & Bar"

"Opened in 1981 by Provence native and San Francisco restaurateur Claude Rouas, food has always been front and center at Auberge with a full menu in both the restaurant and bar"

"Standard rooms measure in at more than 530 square feet and boast handsome, recycled Balinese hardwood floors, fireplaces and stocked wet bars"

"Luxurious touches include Italian linens, plasma TVs, wet bars with stocked refrigerators (full-sized in suites), espresso machines, large soaking tubs, CD players with a choice of CDs, wine, daily fresh fruit and a personal welcome note"

"In the main building housing the restaurant and a more casual bar, recently updated interiors bring a bright, rich look reminiscent of a secluded Côte d’Azur retreat"

"The top splurge for a no-holds-barred romantic weekend, Auberge’s hillside cottages, some of which are brand new, are second to none"

"Throw in a bistro and bar—more Mediterranean-inspired cuisine with, yes, that view again—and lush grounds that include an art gallery, and it’s no wonder that Auberge du Soleil is still one of the area’s top stays"
