“A delightful place in the midst of St-Remy-de-Provence”

Hotel Sous les Figuiers

5 of 5 stars
Melbourne, Australia
Jul 15, 2008

We were seeking a place to stay that would enable us to have quiet time and also have sufficient proximity to some places of note to enable us to be 'tourists' as well. The staff at the hotel were most helpful in recommending restaurants and cafes in St-Remy-de-Provence, and also tried to find a cooking course but we had left organising that too late. The restaurants that they recommended were excellent.
The breakfasts were good - with local fruit and yoghurt.
The location is excellent - being only one street away from the main village. Parking is complex in these small villages and driving on the 'wrong' side of the road is a challenge. The fact that we could just walk to the local restaurants of our choice, the post office and other shops, such as the wonderful organic fruit shop, added to our sense of relaxation.
The rooms that surround the back garden are more expensive (I think) than those that are along the side entrance. Having a veranda to sit out on in the evenings was great, but I am not sure of the price differential. The garden was beautiful with ancient fig trees from another era and wonderful climbing roses.
Staying in St-Remy-de-Provence was good insomuch as there are places around that are great to see, with a wonderful emphasis on Van Gogh and his time spent there. Seeing the views that he saw and recalling the resultant paintings made our time there very special.
St-Remy-de-Provence is surrounded by many olive groves and we thoroughly enjoyed tasting the various olive oils and the vinegars.
The only improvement at the hotel that I could identify would be to have wireless access to the internet in the rooms. The only place that wireless was available was in the office area, although it is noted that there was a computer for communal use provided for guests. However, some guests would benefit from access in or around their rooms, enabling work to continue (while on holiday!). Perhaps this would be the need of only a few people, but I did note while we were there that there were about 5 guests who regularly sought to use the computer.
A hire car is necessary if you are to maximise to region and at least 5 or 6 days would be the minimum to enjoy the village and surrounds. There is a wonderful organic fruit shop and a weekly produce market, and a huge supermarket - all worth a visit. There are no gluten free biscuits/bread, so if you want such items, then you should bring them with you.
I would certainly recommend this hotel to others, but would suggest that they check the various prices for different rooms and determine whether they would want their own veranda or not.

This hotel is lovely. The owners pay attention to every detail. We experienced instant relaxation the moment we arrived. This property is tucked just off the main circular road of the village and provides a perfect mix of solitude and convenience to st. remy's great cafes and shops.

“Perfection.”

Hotel Sous les Figuiers

Jun 23, 2008

Lovely hotel, great location, everything was perfect.

Hotel Les Figuiers deserves another star, and I hate to say it, is probably under-rented. It certainly is underrated. One of the other reviews used the perfect word to describe this place - manicured. Everything is well designed and balanced. The room smelled like fresh paint, and everything felt brand new. We stayed in the Provencal suite, one of the less expensive rooms due to its location off the main walkway. Nonetheless, it had everything we needed - wonderful stone tiled shower, large bathroom, queen bed, huge french doors, and exposed limestone walls.

The back garden where most of the rooms (and fig trees) are located is gorgeous. It reminds me of a southern california spa hotel, if anything. Very peaceful and relaxing. If you can, book one of the rooms there with private decks overlooking the garden.

The breakfast at the hotel was fabulous. It held just off the reception in a room filled with paintings by an artist who apparently works in the hotel's studio (painting workshops are offered to guests). It makes for a great setting, and the place had the best breakfast anywhere we've been in europe. Every day was a different offering, with freshly pressed juice, fresh fruit, and local yogurt/fromage blanc, and some of the best coffee I've ever had. If fact, we wished they had offered more than continental breakfast, as it no doubt would have been wonderful.

Overall, no question this was the best place we stayed. The efforts of the owners to create a unique experience is clearly evident. The website really does not do it justice, and I suggest that they re-do it. Please stay here and give it a try.

Note - our experience was no doubt enhanced by Saint-Remy itself. This was the nicest town we saw in provence. It's bright, clean, beautiful, and not overrun by the tourist infrastructure that has spoiled Avignon and others. The farmer's market on wednesday is a delight.

We loved this hotel. what a beautiful setting! The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. It is a little off the main drag (such as it is!!) in St. Remy but easy walking to restaurants and town. Woudl definitly stay here again.

“Best experience in France”

Hotel Sous les Figuiers

5 of 5 stars
South Carolina
Apr 28, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

We just returned from a trip throughout France and out of all the accommodations Hotel sous les Figuiers was our best hotel of the trip.
The room was extremely clean and roomy, the bed extremely comfortable. The bathroom and shower were equally impressive, but the best feature was the front porch with chairs and a table. With the nice weather it was just awesome. The grounds were also manicured, everything is done correctly and walking distance to town-2 minutes.
Do not miss breakfast, homemade apple sauce and jams.
We will return to France and our stay will revolve around St-Remy next time.
