The perfect location. The area is like being in a movie set. Staff very helpful. Must have own transport. Rent a car from airport is a must to enjoy the views and explore areas. Stayed an extra night, needed a little more time to enjoy the area. Definitely worth a trip. Lovely time of the year to visit, still warm. Happy Holidays 😀

Beautiful hotel was a treat after a 250km solo hike through Provence. Got the family room with balcony overlooking the pool where I was able to enjoy a glass of wine whilst watching the sunset, doesn’t get better. Top quality bedding and linen honestly couldn’t say anything negative about it. A true 5 star hotel. Also made use of the gym.

This is hands down the best hotel experience I’ve ever had, and I’ve stayed in many. It’s a little boutique hotel, and right from the moment we arrived, we felt completely looked after. As soon as the door opened, we were greeted with a big smile and welcomed by name, as if they’d been expecting us. They asked how our trip was going, how our holiday had been so far, helped us with our bags, and took our breakfast orders for the next morning. Then they asked if we’d like a recommendation for dinner. We said yes, and not only did they give us an amazing suggestion, but they went ahead and made the booking for us too. They’re real foodies, and it showed. The interior design throughout the hotel was absolutely beautiful, thoughtful, stylish, and full of character. Our room was lovely and peaceful, with top-quality linen and attention to every detail. I slept so well. Honestly, I’d come back to this town just to stay here again.

FAQs about hotels in Provence

The Picturesque Land of Lavender and Pastis

With lavender meadows and limestone soils covered with garrigue, the beautiful Provence smells of herbs, flowers and warm mistral winds. This vast French region spreads along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea from the wetlands of Camarque to the peaks of the Maritime Alps.

Famous for its cuisine, picturesque villages and the weather, Provence is one of France’s most popular holiday destinations. People come here to relax under the stunning blue skies and enjoy a slower life pace over a glass of pastis or local wine.

But don’t be mistaken, Provence is as much about the bustling cities as it is about its quiet countryside. Make sure you pay a visit the 2nd largest French city, Marseille, the forever glamorous Cannes or the popular resort of Nice. All of them offer plenty of sightseeing attractions, cultural events and fine dining venues.

For a breath of art and history, stop in Arles, a town full of Roman remains and Van Gogh’s famous artistic inspiration, or Avignon, best known for the stunning Gothic Palace of the Popes - the seat for Western Christianity during the 14th century.

From blue sea to rocky mountains, Provence has something for everyone’s taste. So does Booking.com: over 2000 properties in the region, from hotels with pools to cosy bed & breakfasts for your perfect Provence holiday.

The location is just beautiful with great views of the sea and beach on your doorstep. Great food across all parts of the hotel, breakfast, main restaurant for dinner and a choice of the pool bar or beach restaurant for lunch. The team are very welcoming and attentive with a great eye on personal service. Wonderful to also see the hotel manager Stephenie meeting and greeting everyone on a daily basis across the day. The rooms and terrace make the most of the location and full markers for a comfortable, spacious bed with quality linen too.

An exceptional hotel, situated in its own vineyard. The location is fabulous, the food as very good and the wine of course is from their own production. Our stay included a complementary wine tasting in the vineyard shop (across the road). The Manager went out of her way to ensure all food requests were met. The gardens are beautiful and well kept, and there is a swimming pool for guests. The water was a little warmer than my taste, but I am sure most guests will like it that way. We stayed for four nights

Only stayed one day and night but the old town and port area are great places to wander and eat. The Cathedral and Museum of Civilizations area is good to wander around. Notre Dame de la Garde was closed for visits early on Sundays for Mass. Missed that one but had seen it previously.

A nice little town in the south of France.

A nice little town in the south of France. The town centre is lovely with little narrow streets with a variety of shops and places to eat everywhere you turn. Museum-wise, there's only a couple and they are rather on the small side. I would recommend checking you don't come during low-season, bank holidays or during closures for changing exhibitions otherwise your choices would be limited. However, you can take local buses to the surrounding areas where there are more attractions, villages, etc, but you should plan ahead and with enough time. Getting to: be aware that the TGV station is around 18km out of town, so you need to either take a bus or taxi to Aix town proper. The local train station can only be reached via Marseille, so plan accordingly.

If you like medieval villages, history and stunning architecture, you will love Avignon. The city is beautiful, good food abounds, and the train station allows quick access to many surrounding towns. Trips to beautiful L'Isle sur la Sorgue, Arles, and other Provencal towns are easy to plan and get to. For those traveling without a car, I highly recommend a guided tour to some of the outlying areas where you can get a fill of Roman ruins and stunning scenes/villages. Hard to list one favorite, but tiny Le Beaux was breathtaking.

Easy to walk around - not so much a tourist city, although there seem to be plenty of tourists there because of the ferry. Great harbour, Marine museum and little ferry rides. Find your way to Saint-Asile for a great (moules and profiteroles) meal next to a wondrous little beach.

I drove down from the Marne valley and this was as far as I wanted to drive in one day! Orange is a delightful little town with Roman theatre the main attraction, but I used it as a base to visit Mont Ventoux (Tom Simpson memorial), Avignon, Arles, Camargue and Pont du Gard - all easily reached by car. Quieter than the main Provence towns but with nice restaurants and cafes so was very happy with it as a base for 3 days. Favourite lunch spot was the Brasserie du Mule du Pape in Chateauneuf du Pape.

Enjoyed swimming, walking along the sea front and the ports and having coffee overlooking the sea front. Didn’t really see the uphill historic part, which I regret. The Tourist office at Saint Raphael was helpful as I needed a bus timetable. I’d say you need to be reasonably fit ( or have a car) to stay in the area I was in as in fact buses were few and far between so I did a lot of walking. I was on an Interrail pass so also enjoyed a little side trip out to Nice, which has good and frequent rail links with Saint Raphael.
