One of the best hotels we ever stayed, and we visited 50+ countries and hotels! Staff is great and friendly, Joia and the brother and wonderful and they always make you feel home. The room was cosy and super clean, as well as furnished with decor and taste. Great for pool and relax as well as very centrally located in the village and a short drive to St. Remy. We also managed to charge our EV whi...

This hotel is disgusting. The room had bugs crawling everywhere and a strong, chemical smell. The pool water was cloudy and grey — it looked like a swamp. All four of us developed skin or throat issues during the stay. We tried to report this to the front desk, but the two older supervisors (an older man and woman) refused to help or offer a room change. Their attitude was rude and dismissive. Th...

This hotel is one of the most unique and stunning places we've stayed, with beautifully tranquil ground...

This is one of the most incredible hotels I have ever seen in my life. The design is absolutely exquisite and the ambiance is perfect. I cannot imagine anything better and I am super picky! An absolute must if you are in Provence!

I couldn’t sleep, and I developed allergic reactions including skin rashes and throat irritation. The swimming pool water was also extremely cloudy, like it hadn’t been cleaned at all. The older managers at the front desk were completely unhelpfu...

One of the most beautiful hotel we have stayed at. The space is very special, every single detail and corners are just so absolutely stunning. For people that appreciate art and architecture will surely fall in love with the hotel. Bridget served us with pleasure and so kind to our daughter. Breakfast is a must. Beyond tasteful place we will absolutely come back!
