Five-star Le Mas de Pierre

Le Mas de Pierre, outside of Saint-Paul-de-Vence in France, has earned its fifth star. The Relais & Chateaux property has six Provencal cottages and a spa. Then there’s the gastronomic restaurant and a fabulous swimming pool. The website, CiaoBambino.com, says the hotel is even baby friendly.
