France
Idyllic converted 18th-century grape press chock-a-block with tasteful antiques hand-picked by the owners. The gardens are beautiful, as is the local aperitif 'Pineau' that used to be made there. A true oasis!
For a restful break in stunning countryside, we can highly recommend Les Anes de Vassivière, just outside Peyrat-le-Château in the department of Haute-Vienne, in the Limousin region.
There's a website (see below) with a superb selection of moer than 5,000 other farms throughout France, offering a variety of services.
400 of these farms have camping of one sort or another.

My wife and I stayed at Chambre en Ville in mid February 2007 - charming, central and most welcoming. Ideal for walking around Bordeaux. Highly recommended.

This is a small chambre d'hote - French B&B - in a lovely quiet street near the centre of town. Nice rooms (only five so book ahead), really central and close to the cathedral, bars, restaurants, everything.
