Domaine de Valmouriane

This wonderful property is nested on a quiet road just a few minutes drive from both St. Remy and Les Baux , two of the most beautiful villages in France. The grounds are gorgeous with extensive gardens and a big climatized pool. The building is brand new and the rooms are absolutely incredible with great amenities. Restaurant on the premises. Charlene at the reception desk was very helpful making us feel at home and providing us tips for activities in the area. We stayed only 2 nights but wished we had stayed longer just enjoying the property and its surroundings. For sure we will be back. Highly recommended.

Awesome place to hold a party or just go with family or friends. Welcoming, friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms, close to the town of Saint Remy and Les Baux. Breakfast was healthy, pool clean and large enough to swim laps. Plenty of parking available

We stayed for four nights and it was the best stay ever. The staff were exceptional. Lucie, Sabine, and the head manager went above and beyond to make our stay so special. They gave us great recommendations for places to visit, as well as restaurants in the area. We ate at the in-house restaurant on two occasions and it was excellent, as were the breakfasts. It’s a superb place, we highly recommend it.

We loved our four day stay at Domaine de Valmouriane. We had a beautiful room with three windows facing out to the gardens. The bathroom was particularly stunning - a big soaking tub, dual sinks, a rainfall shower. We used the pool twice - it was lovely. Service was top notch. Jean Luc made our daily breakfasts very memorable and the offerings were solid (very reasonably priced too). We had a lunch and dinner at the hotel during our stay and they were delicious meals - some of the best we had during our 10 day trip throughout the South of France. They even made us a late night hamburger when we returned from a long day of winery visits. We felt taken care of and like our money was well spent here! The only things 'missing' for that full resort feel were a spa and slightly more substantive gym - but I know they offered in room massages for a reasonable price (we just didn't get around to taking advantage of that). We'd definitely recommend Domaine de Valmouriane to friends and family.

My sister chose this hotel for her long awaited Indian wedding, from check in to check out the family experience has been outstanding. The staff at the hotel are really warm and kind people, rather than a chain of hotels I prefer this hotel because it is small enough to give you a personalised service. The manager is fantastic, always around with a big smile on his face and ever ready to help with anything. Thank you guys and a congratulations to the management!

Here is what I wish I'd known before booking at this hotel... THE GOOD: - Really, really great staff. Very attentive and friendly. They are the hotel's biggest asset. - Nice common area (but not useable if you don't like the strong room fragrance). - Design of rooms is nice. Nice bathrooms. - The pool is heated and doesn't smell like chemicals. THE BAD: - The hotel and property are fully under construction, and we were given no warning. Should not be open yet. At least 4 large and loud tractor trucks, digging, drilling, electric sanding, construction workers everywhere, piles of construction crap left sitting all over. - Very loud. I expect it won't be done until 2024 or so, since they still need to build a whole new building for a spa and gym, by the pool. - No room service at all (!!!), and not near many restaurants. This was really a pretty big inconvenience. - Pool closures due to construction (or they will open it, but you will be surrounded by noisy construction workers drilling and making a new spa and workout building.) - Severely understaffed. - Many rooms don't have a nice view (parking lot, construction, overlooking another room's 'private' terrace, etc). - All the rooms are smaller than expected (we saw 3 and all were definitely much smaller than the m2 claimed). Great, large bathrooms help make up for it a bit. - The outdoor common areas and breakfast areas are not cleaned properly (or at all?) and look dirty. - Super, super strong chemical perfume smell ("signature scent") throughout the hotel and in all the rooms, that's impossible to air out as it comes in via the vents. It made us sneeze the entire stay, even with the windows open. - The restaurant is quite overpriced for the quality, compared to others (at 5 star hotels) in the area. - No privacy on 'private' terraces. - The bed was uncomfortable, too hard and could feel ridge/gap down the middle and sounded like it was covered in plastic, which was noisy when shifting position at night. - The doors don't latch shut fully unless you slam them hard several times. As you can imagine, we were woken up at night by this, and from one of them constantly slamming due to wind ------------ Suggestions to the owner: - Close until the construction is done, or be honest and give a big discount on rates. - Don't leave junk everywhere. Clean up the construction stuff and try to hide it. - Landscape to hide the parking lot. - Put organic latex mattress topper on beds. - Sweep and clean the breakfast area before people arrive. - To be unique, change from a regular hotel to an eco / sustainable one and focus on wellness. Make a healthy menu, serve detox drinks, offer yoga, etc. Everything organic. Create a food garden, etc. Go after the GOOP crowd.
