With its mild winters and year-round attractions, "there's never a bad time to visit Bordeaux", says The Daily Telegraph. Head for this French region famous for its wine vintage and save up to 59% per room with a stay at the 4-star Hôtel Grand Barrail in St Émilion for $220 (169€) per night.

This offer is valid Sunday-Thursday until April 15 and includes the following:

• 10% discount on food at the restaurant, excluding drinks

It's an extra $13 (10€) for Friday and Saturday stays, but these do not include the discounts on food and spa treatments.

By the Dordogne River and surrounded by three acres of parkland, the 19th-century Hôtel Grand Barrail was named to Condé Nast Traveler's Gold List in 2009 and 2010. It is close to the medieval city of Saint-Émilion and its wine-producing châteaux. In addition to two dining rooms and a bar, the hotel has a spa with a Jacuzzi, two saunas, two hammams and fitness equipment.
