Lovely boutique hotel with two nice restaurants. The hotel is conveniently located close to the highway and for a great spot to stop over. It is also a destination in its own right but most people would probably rather only stay one or two nights. We’ll definitely stay here again if you pass by.

Beautiful estate in the countryside, friendly  staff, rooms clean but not too large. Combining the charme of a traditional Provence estate with the comfort of a modern boutique hotel. We ate at the bistro restaurant and would definitely recommend it. The breakfast buffet is not too large but has many delicacies, such as the various local cheeses, the jams, or the delicious cured ham.

We only stayed one night while passing through. For a longer stay, I might choose something a bit more cozy.

Wonderful old hotel nestled in amazing gardens. The garden area creates an amazing setting for this out of the way place. Food at the Bistro was top notch though drink prices were high. Not too much to do on a day of heavy rain though…
