We chose this lovely owner-operated BnB because it was just outside the pretty town of Roussillon. It was very easy to find with our GPS. Earlier in the day we gave ourselves quite the fright when our NAV system took us to the similarly named campground for “tipis, caravans and lean-to’s”! We were asked for our Health Pass on arrival but my husband’s CDC card worked as well. (We both applied online Sept 1. I received mine on the 23rd and his not until the 27!) We were shown to our room, 6, which was on the ground floor with a small patio with table and chairs. We were even able to order aperitifs and enjoy them on the patio one afternoon! The bedroom had plenty of closet and shelf space, an in room safe, a tea kettle with instant coffee and tea bags, a small refrigerator and a large comfortable bed. Nightstands on each side of the bed are always a nice touch! The bathroom was good size with a shower, toilet and a large bowl-type sink. There was shower gel and some other toiletries. Towels were fluffy and comfortable. Our room was next to the pool so it was kinda loud at breakfast and when people sat by the pool during the day. It closes at 7 so the nights were very quiet. There was a jacuzzi and sauna that due to covid restrictions, required reservations. The hotel is mindful of restrictions and masks are required in public places. They can be removed at your table. The grounds were beautiful with lots of little sitting areas to enjoy the view of the Ochre mountains. The pool had plenty of spaced lounge chairs but in the late afternoon, it was a bit chilly for us to enjoy. We were so appreciative of the help in securing reservations at two really great restaurants, Restaurant David and le Piquebaure (see separate reviews). There was a slight miscommunication in an email we received confirming our reservation for dinner on the night of our arrival. We discovered dinner at the property is only on certain nights and not on our Sunday arrival. We made a terrible mistake in not taking the door code with us when we went to dinner the first night. We returned at 9:45 PM forgetting one needs the code to get in. After ringing the reception bell three times and with visions of sleeping in our car overnight, we dialed the phone number and told her of our situation. We apologized profusely but I’m sure this was not the first time this has happened. It will certainly be the last for us! The breakfast is usually a buffet but due to Covid, a big selection of pastries and coffee is served right at your table. Other options of fruits, meats, yogurt and cheeses are available, too. When we asked about the availability of eggs, we were offered hard boiled or fried. Always good to have some protein in the morning. The owners operate this lovely hotel to perfection. It’s location just a short easy 3 km drive to the city center of Roussillon made it ideal for the feeling of a true Provençal retreat!
