The Location: in the hill-top village of Les Baux de Provence.
The Room: A charming, good-sized queen-bed room called La Dame a la Licorne.
Furnished with period-appropriate pieces.
Enough space for international travelers to unpack comfortably.
Lovely views over the village rooftops. While there was an air-con/heating unit, we didn't need it during our stay as the weather was temperate enough to enjoy open windows.
The bathroom was a good size and innovative in design for a relatively compact space. The shower pressure was excellent. For amenities only liquid soap in a pump dispenser was in the bathroom.
Be advised that there is no lift which will be an issue for those who cannot negotiate stairs.
The lovely hosts do assist with luggage.
The Staff: Ute and Benoit are totally charming - happy to chat and provide advice/assistance.
Food: Continental breakfast was delicious and substantial - consisting of yoghurt, breads/pastries, fruit platter, coffee, and juice.
We had dinner at a local restaurant which is literally a pleasant three minute walk from the hotel.
Parking: Parking instructions, and parking permit, are emailed to you upon acceptance of your reservation. You need to print the permit and leave it on the dashboard of your car. While you can drive into the village between 7pm - 10am, the streets are quite narrow and some may find it challenging.
Outside of these hours you will need to carry your luggage over the cobblestone streets to reach the hotel.
Overall Impression: A unique, charming hotel for an overnight stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return! read more
