Everything at La Riboto de Taven was even better than expected. We had a marvelous time, and Christine and Philippe couldn't have been more attentive or helpful. One morning Philippe offered to have a Cavaillon melon (that we had bought in Cavaillon, of course) prepared for our breakfast--so thoughtful. "Thoughtful" would be the word I would use to describe the way they run the inn.
We had absolutely no complaints about the room, the service, the food, or the location. We could have stayed there longer. It was absolutely the best place we stayed (of five) during our trip to France.

For hotels on our trip to France this year, we relied heavily on Trip Advisor, with great success. But for sure First Place went to the Riboto for the hospitality of the hosts, the comfort of the accommodations, and most especially the food -- the best we had in our two weeks abroad. We echo every positive comment below, this is simply a “must stay” location. It is not a fancy spa with many facilities, but rather like a time to visit good friends in a very nice home in beautiful surroundings and with a great kitchen.

One thing we hadn’t quite appreciated from the prior comments was the prime location of the hotel -- we walked to Les Baux, St. Remy is about a 15 minute drive, Avignon, Arles and the Pont du Gard are less than an hour, and many other top locations are not much farther, even if you take the scenic back routes. What pleasure in taking a day trip to a beautiful area of Provence, then returning to what was for sure going to be a warm welcome and an exceptional meal -- travel doesn’t get much better than this.

Christine and Philippe make you feel very welcome in this lovely hotel. We stayed in one of the troglodyte suites cut into the rock. The room was very nice but the bathroom could do with some updating.

The hotel is a good base from which to go exploring in the region. It wasn't warm enough to swim in the pool when we were there, but I expect it would be superb in the summer.

Christine and Philippe run the most wonderful hotel and we can not rate it highly enough.

It really was like ‘coming home’ with such a warm welcome and you know from the second you talk with the owners, your stay will be relaxing and with no request too much trouble for them.

The hotel is in a beautiful setting nestled below, and in, the rocks! The grounds have been impeccably kept, the perfect pool, wonderful seating areas and fantastic food. We understand Christine’s brother, the chef, used to run a Michelin starred restaurant in the UK, and it shows.

Our room was one of the cave suites – what an experience. Stylishly done out and not at all gimmicky. We had our own seating area, table, sun beds and a great view.

We had three very relaxing and enjoyable nights and can’t recommend this hotel enough.
