Chateau de Fere, France

For a very French affair, head to Chateau de Fere near Reims in the province of Champagne.

Overlooked by the ruins of the 12th-century castle which serves as a backdrop for the 16th-century Hostellerie du Chateau's converted hotel, it's all chandeliers, fine silverware and elegant crystal. Around 20,000 bottles of fine wine reside the in the labyrinthine tunnels below the chateau.

Walk around the romantic village of Fere-en-Tardenois, take a dip in the outdoor pool or get some 'together time' in your spa bath.

Rooms start from €150 a night.
