We stayed at this beautiful guesthouse for three days while attending a friend’s wedding nearby - and honestly, we didn’t expect to discover such a warm, stylish, and soulful place here in France. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the peaceful and aesthetic charm of the property. It has a unique, almost Balinese touch - with lots of natural textures, wood, stone, light fabrics, and soft tones - that make the space feel effortlessly elegant yet cozy and grounded. It truly felt like a serene country house rather than a typical hotel - calm, spacious, and full of thoughtful details that show how much care went into every corner. But the real highlight, the “cherry on top,” were the hosts - Pierre and Caroline. Their warmth, kindness, and genuine hospitality made us feel completely at home. They greeted us each day with smiles, prepared delicious breakfasts with love, helped us with anything we needed, and did it all with such grace and heart. Their presence turned an already lovely stay into something truly memorable. I tend to be quite picky about places I stay - I usually find something to criticize - but here, I simply couldn’t. Everything was spotless, thoughtful, and designed not just with taste, but with soul. We’re incredibly grateful for the experience and for the kindness of our hosts. We wish them nothing but joy, continued success, and many wonderful guests in the future. May their hotel continue to be a place where people arrive as visitors, and leave feeling like family.

The staff was really friendly and helpful. The hotel is located in a quiet part of the village, surrounded by tall trees and it feels like an old family bastide. We loved the pool too and hearing the cicadas around us. The children loved playing in the hotel park. Breakfast had plenty of locally sourced food and everything was fresh and tasty.

A modern room, tastefully decorated and presented, and in good working order. The rooms were very comfortable for our overnight stay, and we would have happily stayed there for longer!! We had an overnight stop over before a week stay on the south coast, so this was a fabulous location to explore the Var district which is full of beautiful quaint villages and landscapes. An easy two hour journey from Marseille airport, with many places of interests to visit en route. We had a fabulous dinner here after we arrived. The hosts were just lovely and kind. We absolutely recommend this restaurant and overnight stay in a peaceful friendly French village near the south coast. We would definitely book 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.

Our stay at Lily of the Valley was truly exceptional. The service was outstanding — the staff showed such genuine care and kindness, making us feel special throughout our stay. The restaurants were amazing; everything we tried was delicious, and breakfasts were a real pleasure. We loved the comfortable bed, the beautiful atmosphere, and the overall sense of harmony. We’ll definitely return to the restaurant even if we’re not staying at the hotel — everything we ordered was exceptional, and dinner felt magical. The team here is truly unique: such warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail are rare to find. We spent a wonderful weekend and can’t wait to come back!

Amazing city, full of positive vibes, a gem of southern France, very close to Marseille and Nice which are worth visiting if there is time. TEh connection, either by bus, shuttle or train, is very good. Don't opt for taxis, they're very expensive and there is no need for them. The old city is entirely pedestrian, full of coffee places, bars, and restaurants for all tastes, with a vivid population and lots of tourists in November!

The city of Avignon, a legendary city, disappointed me with its state. The surrounding area was filled with fords, dilapidated, neglected houses, and facades. Homeless people, etc. The condition of churches and sacred buildings reflects the effects of the genocidal French Revolution in the 1790s. Church furnishings were destroyed, graves desecrated, and numerous priests and nobles murdered. Barbarism was utterly utter.

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.
