Wonderful romantic getaway on a secluded 550 hectare working farm, with traditional Camargue bulls and horses (but no flamingos, boo!). Great location from which to explore all Camargue has to offer. Absolutely impeccable service, beautiful spacious loft suite, gorgeous pool, delicious evening set menu with a talented chef and superb wine (thank you Margot!). We took the jeep ride with Richard and had lots of fun learning all about the property and its natural bounty. Numa, the darling German pointer will happily accompany you on walks around the property and even flop in your room for a nap. We are already planning our next stay!

The Junior suite “Elegance” with the outside terrace catered perfectly to our style. A large bedroom with a large terrace to spend most of our time outside.
The staff was excellent.
The food delicious, comparable to a 1 star Michelin, and at a very reasonable price.
If you are looking for a simple and quiet with a feel like home experience accompanied with a staff dedicated to you, that’s the place to pick.

My husband and I spent two wonderful days at this beautiful property.  The hotel (a converted farmhouse) is decorated in a warm, elegant non fussy way. We stayed in two different rooms, each one with comfortable beds, plush linens, towels, bathrobes, and guest amenities. There are lovely grand rooms in the hotel to relax and read many of the table books that are  scattered around.  Outside there is a gorgeous pool, surrounded by lawns and mature landscaping, huge trees, a small lake, and a large kitchen garden.
Our host, Monsieur Bon, the owner of le Mas de Peint, graciously introduced himself to us one evening at dinner. A true personal touch that doesn’t go unappreciated. The front desk staff could not be friendlier or more helpful. We especially enjoyed Vincent, who gave us many good suggestions for exploring the region, and also, was incredibly knowledgeable about the traditions of the bulls and horses. Such a friendly engaging man. All the desk staff were warm and totally accommodating.

I must say the heart and soul of this property has to be the food. Chef Juan Ipuz, and his team, simply took our stay to the next level! Originally, we had planned to stay one night but we were so impressed (positively blown away) by Chef’s food, we changed our plans and stayed another night.  Chef Juan’s creativity and artistry are amazing. Every dish not only a feast for the eyes, but a feast for the pallet and soul.  His kitchen is young, energetic, and quiet. I know quiet is an odd thing to say but, there was a gentleness about his preparation that conveyed itself to the food. Every plate was a perfectly crafted, beautifully plated and totally delicious. The kitchen garden keeps the ingredients incredibly fresh and totally seasonal. Chef also has a great sense of humor with his amuse bouche. One night a tiny “hamburger” was plated which was not only adorable but utterly delicious.  The chef is also blessed with his sus chef (whose name I unfortunately have forgotten) and his wait staff the lovely, Tyfen, and her colleague, Margot. The entire service is run by these two hardworking charming women. Tyfen, was incredibly knowledgeable about what wines to pair with each dish, and both women work incredibly hard all the while maintaining a tidy, organized beautiful kitchen. (We were lucky enough to sit in the kitchen to get a behind the scenes experience of the dinner service).

We cannot thank le Mas de Peint, and their staff enough for making our stay one of the most pleasant experiences of our trip France.  We hope to return again in autumn.
Merci, Merci, Merci!

Awesome place! We stayed in the terrasse room. Enjoyed the huge pool and got lots of love of the dogs that live on the property.
Parking is easy and on sight.
Restaurant in the evening is having a lovely Terras under the grape trees. The garden is beautiful!!
Vegetarian options Available
Breakfast is served in the kitchen with a buffet.
The only thing that you have to know is the mosquitos in the evening. There is a large water basin close to the main building.
One small tip for the staff is to cover food because the flies are there in big quantities and also sitting on food. I think a simple cover or something would help to keep it fresh.
