La Maison du Village

La Maison du Village.

A true southern France treat. Nestled in the heart of St. Remy de Provence, this absolutely beautiful boutique hotel is surrounded by world–renowned markets, boutiques, and of course, postcard views. La Maison du Village welcomes you to stay amoungst carefully restored 18th century architecture, and relaxed yet luxurious décor. Spend the morning enjoying a delicious breakfast in the lovely, secret garden...or laze in bed and step out to have a nice lunch or afternoon tea, served in the shadow of the old, patina-ed fountain...








I adore this hotel. It was on my list of places to stay, (when planning for our trip) but unfortunately it was so full, that they could not accommodate all of us...There are certain things that I, personally, look for when viewing and selecting a hotel. Beyond the initial imagery that flashes through on the website, I always read through and try to find out a bit more, such as how large the rooms are, what kind of toiletries they offer, exactly where they are located, how many rooms does the hotel offer, etc. I first came across this hotel in Côté Sud, as you see scanned above, and instantly fell for its vivid color palette and rich textures. It says "comfort" to me.





One thing I typically do is to search through trip adviser, and read through some honest opinions about hotels...I have signed up as of last year, and connected with a few travelers via email and have shared in some great testimonies that I am certain will come in handy in the future. I highly recommend it!
