Accommodation near Alpilles

Lovely little cottage within easy walking distance to the main village. The cottage was very well equipped, it had everything we needed to cook meals and all the equipment was good quality, clean and working. It was a very large unit and very comfortable with absolutely everything we needed. The large courtyard in front of the cottage was the perfect place to chill out after a busy day and a peaceful place to eat breakfast and dinner. A well stocked U Tile supermarket was an easy 5 min walk away & next door to the supermarket was a fabulous gourmet deli with ready made meals. There are also loads of restaurants within easy walking distance. Our only negatives were that the car park and driveway that was only suitable for a very small car - this was not described in the add. We hired a small car and chose this place because of the car park yet we were unable to use the car park due to the very narrow entrance and tiny car park. There is a public car park only 7 min walk away, over a gravel path which was a bit of a hassle to pull the suitcases. Not the end of the world but a bit of a pain. Our 2nd negative was that the shower head was broken and not able to be used - we needed to hold it to use it. Hopefully this will be fixed for the next guests. Also, just be aware that Julie the host, does not speak a word of English, so have your google translate at the ready for check in if you are not French.

I’ll start with the room:  No cushions on the chairs outside. It was a lovely day, but there weren’t any comfortable chairs to sit on outside. No blankets or extra pillows. No floor lamps (I couldn’t see to read in the bedroom while sitting in the tiny chairs by the window). One piece of tissue left in the dispenser.  No washcloths. Hair conditioner in the shower but not the bathtub. No toiletries to speak of (just some unsanitary cotton pads and Q-tips in a jar) and a small bottle of lotion. A lid that we had to take off with our hands to dispose of trash in the bathroom.   A ridiculous and dysfunctional coffee and tea station. It looks like a shelf that slides out, but it is actually stationary. I tried to pull it out to make some tea and pulled the shelf off of its nails, and the whole thing came crashing down. Everything broke. Glass everywhere. The tea kettle is so big it won’t fit under the tap. We had to fill it from the bathtub and the cord was so short it didn’t reach the outlet until we moved the table closer to it. We ordered room service, and the food was really bad. Truly. There was no pepper sauce on my steak aux poivre, the fries were greasy and the shrimp entree was literally inedible. Breakfast seemed like we were eating leftovers from brunch the previous day. The food was not fresh and the waitress in your glorious dining room seemed more concerned with setting up empty tables than actually waiting on the few of us who were there.

We had a wonderful stay here! The staff is so kind and accomodating.

Hot water was limited and shower did not properly drain leading to bathroom flooding.

Love the place! Love the people in charge of the place

Great location for visiting Provence. Easy walk into St. Remy. Host was very responsive to our questions and needs.
