We recently visited la Riboto de Taven for a part of our honeymoon. The overwhelming impression was that Christine, Phillippe and Jean-Pierre care for their guests: nothing was too much trouble for them. The room (one of the troglodyte ones) was large and well-appointed, breakfasts and dinners were superb, the rrace and surrounding gardens immaculately kept - and all within ten minutes walk of the village.

For personal service and quality of accommodation, this hotel is hard to beat in our view.

swarming atop the hill of Les Baux, Riboto de Taven is an excellent choice even if you could care less about the Disneyesque ruins of Les Baux. The hotel is perfect in terms of quiet, comfort, food and design of the garden and I am a tough customer. The location is good for visiting the area and near to St Remy and Arles. The restaurant is wonderful. Enjoy!

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.
