We had a suite, with an open rooftop patio, on the top of the Hotel. Comfy King beds, clean and great big old fashioned bath tub (all renovated) The owner slips my mind right now but she was so sweet, helpful and gives you your space if you want it. The price of the room is under $200 and reasonable. If you can find the place on GPS, we did not, you go down a tiny little alley and once you find the door, it opens to a sweet courtyard with all the rooms above it, including her house (and the dog) She has a very sweet little room where she serves the breakfast and leaves her wine fridge open for you to have a glass of nice rose before or after you dinner. Very tasty, fresh fruits, jams, breads and meats for breakfast. We hope to return here one down and enjoy the town longer. I am sure you will not be disappointed in Saint Remy and mostly your accommodations if you stay here.

This is the perfect stay for anyone staying in the Provence region. Saint Rémy is such a wonderful…read moretown in Provence and such a good jumping off place spot to visit other regions. The downtown of Saint Rémy is so cute and charming and this property is directly in the center of the historic downtown. The streets in this part of town are walking only but it is very easy to park a few blocks away in the free parking provided by the property owner Christine. Christine is so amazing. I can't write it all here because my review would take up two many pages, but she makes your stay special and is there to assist and recommend in any way. She provides a lovely breakfast every morning with fresh croissants and baguettes, delicious jams, French ham and meats, fruits, etc. Quite a lovely spread. The property is so beautiful and charming. Something straight out of a dream. The room was lovely and every detail was thought about. I appreciated the still water bottles stocked in your room fridge and the fitted and flat sheet on the bed (I was surprised to find hardly any hotels or properties in Europe provide a flat sheet on the beds). The property was immaculately cared for, and every detail was given thorough care and attention. It was also immaculately clean. Lovely bedroom and beautiful updated bathroom with side by side sinks and a lovely tub that actually makes you want to take a bath. There was a lovely private rooftop terrace from our room and a lovely shared terrace on the ground floor where we ate dinner under the stars our first night (we arrived very late in the night and Christine was so sweet and helped get us food which was amazingly delicious from a nearby local bistro so that we could have dinner as all the restaurants would be closed by the time we arrived). As soon as you leave the gate from the property you are in a charming area filled with lovely shops and restaurants. It is so idyllic and you could just lose yourself in that town for a week without having a desire to leave. With that said it is such a good jumping off point to explore Gordes, Roussilon, Les Boux, Aix en Provence, Avignon, and many other places. Literally the only issue I could foresee anyone having with this property is if you were old and have a large suitcase and your room is on the top floor. We had huge suitcases and were on the top floor but it was no problem for me as I'm a youngish guy, but even if it is a problem for you just don't overpack, it's completely worth it to stay at this amazing, clean, charming, and relaxing property. One of my favorite properties I've ever stayed at and can't wait to stay there again. The only thing I would have changed is I would have stayed longer!

Tarascon is a delightful town, and this is a delightful little hotel…read more Le Provençal is about three blocks from the train station, and some five blocks from the Tarascon castle. It's also close to restaurants and shopping. Le Provençal is a clean, budget hotel, with very friendly owners. You can add a continental breakfast to your room rate, and enjoy croissants, bread, jam, and coffee with the owners, fellow guests, and the owners' dog Pipo. I liked the dog, and having him visit with us at breakfast. Tip: the entry door is locked when the front desk isn't staffed (which is often). Don't forget your door code! We did. The restaurant where we had dinner called the hotel (the owners live on-site), and obtained the code for us. The beds have real sheets (not the quilt things that are so prevalent in hotels nowadays). Rooms are small, very basic, but reasonably priced. My wife and I enjoyed our stay, and will return the next time we travel to Tarascon. Tip: the tourist information office is on your way to the Tarascon castle. They speak English, and can fill you in on the dozens of area attractions, many of them within walking distance. If you need to do laundry, the owners can give you directions to a small laundromat which is about a mile away (ten-fifteen minute walk). Also, Tarascon is a short train / bus ride from Avignon, Arles.

It is at walking distance to many good restaurants and bars as well as to small shops. They also offer a parking spot on premises for a very affordable fee. They also have a rooftop patio where you can have an in house breakfast (8 euros) if you choose to. Every Friday the town comes alive with a very big market where you can get pretty much everything from food to household items to clothing etc. Being in the center of town and across the street from the market, the hotel is perfectly situated. I highly recommend this place. One of my family's favorite place to stay in France so far.

The staff is very helpful and do the best to ensure your needs are meet. As this is a small town and the hotel does not have a restaurant the staff is willing to help you make reservations.

Beautiful hotel and the rooms are adorable - we were so glad we had a ground floor room! overlooked the courtyard and within 30 paces to the great pool - great water temps.

The breakfast was beautifully appointed with fresh yogurt, cheeses, jams and honey and bread. How much more can I eat?! apparently a LOT. The room we had was smartly decorated too - loved the brown/white color scheme. What a gem - don't miss this one!

Great hotel, right across from the attractions of St. Remy…read more The hotel has interesting religious themed decor, with statues of Mary and Jesus throughout and even in the rooms. The room itself is actually spacious compared to all the other places I have visited in France. There is plenty of room to maneuver around the bed. The room is very clean, as is the bathroom with a rain shower head. There are bathrobes and dispensers for soap. There is a computer in the lobby with Internet access. The wifi was spotty and difficult to connect to from the room. But once the connection was established in the lobby, my phone didn't lose it. The breakfast is pretty standard but good, with lots of fresh fruit, bread, cheese, cereal and fresh squeeze OJ. I would recommend Hotel Gounod.

Absolutely spectacular rooms, delightful breakfast, and excellent location. One of the best hotels…read moreI've ever visited. We were lucky to get a room up under the eaves; out the bathroom window we saw the old courtyard a few hundred years old, and out the bedroom window we saw the Roman amphitheater a few thousand years old. Both windows have screens (probably inspired by the ever-present pigeons, rather than mosquitoes); with both open, the breeze flowed through our airy aerie. Breakfast is well done here --- a large spread of sweets including baguettes, pain au chocolat, apricots, prunes, hazelnuts, and croissants; savory including 4-5 types of cheese and some sliced meat. The breakfast host takes orders for coffees (including decaf) and eggs (the 5-minute was nicely soft-boiled, perhaps a little runny; the table next to us got a 10-minute egg.) The orange juice is fresh squeezed. (There was some annoying street noise from motor scooters and rap-playing cars zooming up the curving rue du Cloître, but not terrible. More entertainingly, there were a series of children's dance classes over at the amphitheater, starting with elementary school and proceeding through high school.) There's a second-floor terrace that promises drinks pulled by the front-desk receptionist if you dial 9, although we were unable to reach them when we tried; also a good place for a small picnic and a sunset. Truly spectacular.

Wish we were back there now!

However, the two best things about this place aren't what you see on the web site at all. They are: (1) the pool, which is absolutely essential for twice-daily swims given the 100-degree weather in the middle of the summer, and (2) the hosts, who serve you a wonderful breakfast every day, and give you an itinerary of what to do every day -- mostly visiting small towns, tasting wine, and going out for excellent meals. In fact, you don't really need to plan your trip to Provence. You can basically just book your tickets, rental car, and a week at Le Clos and you're all set.

Stayed here two summers ago as a base for our exploration of Provence. The village of Graveson,…read morewhere this house is located, is itself not a destination, but it is central to the must-see towns of Avignon and Arles. Le Cadran Solaire is a charming centuries-old stone house with a wrought iron gate and pleasant garden, which is what I imagined a French country home would be. The interior is tastefully decorated in French provincial style. Our family room (two comfortable bedrooms connected with a bath) was spacious. Breakfast is continental, which means pastries and fruit. You have the choice of having breakfast at the inn (in the dining room or in the garden) or going elsewhere if you wish to partake of a heavier breakfast. The husband and wife who run the inn are amiable, helpful and friendly to customers. Because there is not a lot of places to dine at in Graveson, we would go to nearby St. Rhemy for dinner or eat at whatever Provencal village we happened to be touring that day. By the way, another plus for this inn is that it is air-conditioned, which is a boon during hot summer months.
