With its melon-green couch, wall of mirrors and statement orange sculpture, this place feels more like a headlining art exhibition than apartment – fitting, given its stylish Montpellier location. It’s plenty comfortable too, the king-size beds are dressed in Egyptian cotton and the kitchenette is appointed with cooking essentials, making mid-week dinners a cinch. If work is on the agenda, there’s a dedicated desk space to set up your laptop but if you’ve got all the time in the world, step out and explore your neighbourhood. The leafy Montpellier Gardens are directly across the road, perfect for mood-boosting strolls on crisp mornings and picnics when it’s warm. If you’re here in the springtime, stick around to catch established and emerging artists perform at the famous Jazz Festival held on the lawns. Pick out retro gems in the nearby vintage boutiques or take the ten-minute mosey into the heart of Cheltenham for international restaurants and chain retail stores.
