    Nothing really apart from the awful parking in the village generally.

    Beautifully decorated apartment with lovely modern bathroom and well stocked kitchen. Very well situated for exploring the village. Luc, the host was very welcoming.

    A personal preference of mine was that the accommodation was too dark, but this is to be expected in this type of building.

    Location was exceptional. Fresh croissants delivered for breakfast. The owner had thought of everything single thing you could possibly need in the accommodation. Friendly owner.

    The room was perfect! Clean, cozy and full equipped. Luc was so thoughtful especially preparing the room for us, since we were in our honeymoon. He also booked us a table at La Colombe d’Or, the town’s famous restaurant and we loved our meal! Breakfast was amazing, best croissant and pain au chocolat we ever had (Luc dropped them everyday in our window). Michel (Luc’s son) was very helpful, he gave us many tios and went to the town’s entrance to pick us up and show us the parking lot.

    No problems encountered.

    This experience was a mixture of living history and art exhibition. The rooms were thoughtful decorated and complimented the original architecture. The hosts were easily accessible and provided so many extra conveniences to use if needed plus a full pantry for breakfast and wine for later. Thank you Luc and Michael for your gracious hosting and making our stay for a week so enjoyable. We will return in the future.

    Did not like to have to leave.

    When we drove up to Saint Paul de Vence it looked magical-when we arrived at Aux Bonsais we could not believe the location. It was beautiful. Each morning, we got to see a beautiful sunrise and about 9am had a delivery of warm croissants placed on our window sill by Luc. This side of Saint Paul is very quiet, and rather peaceful. The rooms were charming and eclectic. Kitchen and fruit bowls were fully stocked with all sorts of goodies. (which we did not expect). Mike gave us some great driving tips- it can be slightly intimidating driving a rental car, maneuvering around on the very narrow streets...you do get the hang of it rather quickly. We cannot wait to go back!!

    Parking availability can be an issue if you are driving your own vehicle. Bring a small car! The old streets are very narrow with tight corners to navigate. But, that is also part of the charm of this village too

    Location is superb. Mike and Luc are excellent hosts who will make reservations for you and provide a fully stocked kitchenette including complimentary food, beer and wine as well as morning croissants.

    THE PERFECT SMALL TOWN FRENCH EXPERIENCE

    From the moment we set foot in Saint Paul de Vence, we knew we were in for something special. This charming town offers an intimate glimpse into the heart of France, and our stay was made all the more memorable because of our outstanding accommodation. Our hosts, Michael and Luc, were the epitome of hospitality. Not only were they welcoming and attentive, but they also ensured that every aspect of our stay was taken care of, down to the smallest detail. The décor of our lodging was both elegant and cozy, capturing the essence of a classic French home while offering modern conveniences. We were pleasantly surprised to find our fridge and pantry brimming with treats and essentials. Having everything in abundance meant that we could truly relax and feel at home, without the usual scramble to find supplies. The cherry on top was waking up to the aroma of freshly baked croissants every morning. Paired with the complimentary bottle of wine that Michael and Luc generously provided, it made our evenings all the more delightful. To anyone considering a trip to France, seeking an authentic and heartwarming experience, look no further than this gem in Saint Paul de Vence. Our stay here was, without a doubt, the highlight of our journey. Merci beaucoup, Michael and Luc, for giving us the best of French hospitality. We can't wait to return!

    Occasional noise at odd times, eg early morning, with people chatting outside the window. Access to the car park through the narrow village streets is a little hair-raising. If renting a car, choose a small one!

    Great village centre location. Everything was provided in the accommodation, the fridge was well stocked and the host brought us fresh baked goods for breakfast each morning. He was also helpful regarding local restaurants and facilities.

    That we had to leave after 7 days.

    Luc's daughter-in-law Annabelle greeted us when we pulled up to the village walls to guide us to the Maison. It was so lovely to wake up in the morning, open our door and find fresh croissants or pain au chocolate waiting for us along with a fresh baguette. We had a super coffee maker with the coffee supplied. We were thrilled to open our fridge when we arrived and see it had been fully, thoughtfully stocked with bottled water, juice, jam, cheese, meats, all wonderful. Luc also presented us with a lovely bottle of wine we enjoyed.

    Nothing to complain about :)

    Very romantic apartment decorated by the owner in a very artistic manner. Each detail was carefully chosen. Very interesting place which provided a unique experience to remember. Luc was very nice and received us earlier for accommodation, the kitchen was fully stacked, so nice of them to wait with a full fridge, wine, fruit, coffee and more. Nicely located in the old town which allows for beautiful walks. Not very busy mornings and evenings since most tourists sleep in Nice and only visit during the day.

    cleanliness

    This lovely hotel is located in the village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence and blends into the surrounding landscape. living room, bedroom, kitchen and washroom bathroom was spacious and I was able to spend it slowly. In addition, wine and other beverages and cheese、ham in the refrigerator It was a free and thoughtful service. Thank you for Luc's bright and kind response. Traveling to the parking lot by car will require a small car or good driving skills as it passes through fairly tight space.

    100% recommend. Not only a beautiful location with easy access to nearby cities and towns, but our hosts were absolutely lovely. They took us for a drink on our first night with local friends which was lovely, and were hospitable and friendly our entire stay. They had thought of nice touches that go beyond what most accommodation provides. We were so sad to leave but looking forward to coming back soon hopefully.

    We loved this wonderful apartment in the beautiful town of Saint Paul de Vence. It is extremely peaceful and comfortable and decorated with love and care. I have never experienced such a well stocked kitchen in my life! It had absolutely everything you need and more, even a jar of Vegemite (fellow Australians - you understand!). Our host Luc was charming and made check in/check out seamless. We will definitely stay here again on future trips to this gorgeous part of France. Merci beaucoup :)

    Luc’s property was absolute perfection - there is so much thought and attention to detail not only in terms of decor but also in terms of practicality. The place is perfect for making your own meals with everything you could need being available. The apartment is also very close to the restaurants which are all excellent. Luc’s fantastic hospitality was by far the best we have experienced on a trip - even brining us fresh pastries in the mornings! Luc was very easy to reach by phone with a quick response time. Check in was smooth and flexible. We can’t wait to return.
