On our last night, they had live musicians performing in the courtyard which was also very enjoyable. Plenty of comfortable seating around the pool as well. Highly recommend this hotel!!

Le Vallon is a luxury resort in St Remy (Provence, France). We stayed recently with mixed results…read more On the positive side, our villa was clean, spacious, and beautiful. It was perfect to lounge around the pool and soak up the southern France sun. It was expensive, but not out of step with competitors. Shuttle service connected the villa with the "main campus" resort and provided easy access to St. Remy, itself a charming town and perfect for a stay in the south. Room service was limited but still provided options for in-villa dining. Breakfasts were easily the best. The downside, however, is that, even with the shuttle, the villa is disconnected from the resort and too far to walk to town. We should have simply rented a great house in St. Remy. Disappointment over the isolation was eased because, frankly, there was hardly anything drawing us to the resort. The restaurants are average at best, the gym is an abject embarrassment, and. . . that's it. There is really nothing else at the resort. Furnishings are tired and in desperate need of a full facelift. The concierge was extremely unimpressive - not particularly responsive and a real challenge to work with. My advice is simply to rent a house in St. Remy.

Beautiful and rustic, the mas was everything I imagined and more. Our room had all the modern amenities with a nice rain shower and comfortable bed (complete with quilts from the region), while balancing the essence of Provence with their decor and details. The grounds were beautiful and was pretty expansive. My favorite were all the sculptures that dotted the property. Within the Mas is a very popular restaurant, and we quickly understood why. We had our complimentary breakfast (thanks to Expedia) in the same dining room used by the restaurant for dinner. We dined here twice and each time was a wonderful experience. A menu is posted every morning for the evening, which consists of five courses. The menu is well thought out using only fresh, local produce-amazing. The flavors seemed more zestful here-for instance, the cherry tomatoes we had were the sweetest (and we've had our share throughout the Mediterranean). We enjoyed our meals very much. Staff wasprofessional and friendly enough, although we experienced a bit of awkwardness when we refused the table (in the middle of the busy dining room in the path of central traffic) offered to us during our second dinner-we asked to wait for another and at first the woman handling the reservations became flustered immediately and was adamant about not giving us another table-but after some cajoling, she relaxed and agreed to let us wait for another table. The meal was worth the wait, and it helped that we sipped a local rose, Terres Blanches...delicious. My only other complaint is that my credit card was charged twice for the balance (which my CC company took care of) by the hotel. Overall a very pleasant stay save for a couple of hiccups. I'd love to return to Provence and will stay here again should I find myself in Saint-Remy.

Hotel 3 Stars Restaurant 4 Stars…read more We stayed in Le Mas de Carassins for our last night in St Remy prior to heading to the TGV in Avignon the next morning. Having already spent two nights elsewhere in St Remy, this place was on some small side streets and was somewhat hard to find. After finding the place, we were delighted with how cute the garden was. We wish we had only came here during the warmer months. The receptionist was lovely, she spoke fluent English (I later learned that she studied in the States and spent quite a few years here). A little disappointed in our room. First of all the lock to the door was extremely hard to maneuver. Upon entering the room, there was a small alcove? where the toilet was in a separate room to our right, to our left was the tub and the duel sinks. Having the toilet and the sink across the hall didn't make any sense to me, but it was only for one night so not complaining too much there. On the high note, we did opt for the dinner. The in-house restaurant was suppose to be one the of best in town so we decided to give it a try (I believe you must let them know if you want dinner or not while making your reservation). The receptionist doubles as a waitress at night, she was very friendly and explained all the dishes. It was nice to not have to venture out into town again to find dinner. We have probably already hit up all the top spots after spending a few days there since its such a small town. This was the first place we stayed where breakfast was included in our rate. So we packed up our stuff, loaded our trunk and proceeded to breakfast. Simple, croissants, breads, cereal, coffee, juice, some fruits. Checkout was a bit haphazard as the receptionist wasn't in yet by the time we needed to go (8:30am). So the chef or kitchen aid who didn't quite speak English checked us out. The bill was correct, but we had forgotten to give back the key, since she didn't ask we forgot about it as we were in a rush to catch our train. We ended up mailing the key back to the hotel.

There's also a swimming pool and the grounds are beautiful and adorable. My room was a triple so there were three single beds, there was a TV and a very big/clean bathroom. Everything was just clean and pleasant. We had dinner at the hotel at 7:30. For the main course we got a traditional "provencal" stew with veal accompanied with a small salad, rice pilaf, and a quiche. The food was pretty good but of course it could've been better if there were not trying to serve 40-50 students at the same time. The dessert was a pear and almond tart with a delicious caramel sauce and whipped cream. This was seriously one of the best desserts i think i've had in awhile. Highly recommend this place!!

Comfortable grounds and pool. Breakfast had many great options. Room was cozy but had some problems. AC was not sufficient for us or any of the guests we spoke with.

I say this only because there's so much that I loved about this charming hotel, with one huge exception. Let me start with the good. First, L'Image is located just steps away from an absurd amount of great restaurants, shops, and sights. The hotel itself was once an old theater and they've done a great job incorporating the property's history into the decor. The staff was beyond friendly and super attentive. We didn't have a chance to have dinner here because most nights the dining room was fully reserved for private parties, but from what I could see, the food looked fantastic. The grounds here, by the way, are lovely as is the pool. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were unexpectedly roomy for a European hotel, and our mini fridge was restocked with water and Perrier every day. So why only 4 stars? Well, at the risk of diving head first into an annoying American cliche here, I'd be hesitant to stay again due to the rooms being insanely hot and stuffy. We were here in mid-May, so temps were already in the mid to upper 80's by early afternoon. Add in that glorious, ever-constant Provençal sun and you've got yourself a nice little sweat box of a room during the day. Despite the hotel advertising climate control in all of its rooms, we were informed that the a/c was not yet activated due to the cooler weather in the evenings. True, the temps dropped into the 60s at night but we found an open, screenless window did little to cool the room down and lots in letting in all kinds of winged visitors. We ended up asking for a fan which made it slightly more comfortable. Honestly the nights were somewhat tolerable. During the day, however, was another story. My husband and I happened to be traveling with my parents, one of which was recovering from recent heart surgery. Not having a comfortable room to come back to to take naps as needed in the afternoon was really frustrating. Having lived through nine DC summers, I feel cold when it's in the 70s sometimes and I didn't even like to sit in our room during the day because it was so uncomfortable. I hate to harp on this point because everything else about this hotel was wonderful, but it was annoying not having a comfortable space to stop in during the day to recharge or a cool sanctuary to unwind in at night. So...in summary, stay here. In the late fall perhaps.
