르 자르뎅 드 마장

這個是我們整個法國行程中最大的驚喜，是個民宿，老闆是一對夫婦，對於住慣了星級酒店一開始還有點小失望，但早餐着實驚艷了一把，南法的早晨20幾度，一家人坐在中世紀的小鎮滿是鮮花的庭院裏享受一頓豐盛的法式早餐，這個體驗感可以拉爆。友情提醒，酒店是在一棟中世紀的房子裏，重新做了裝修，很有品味和檔次，但樓梯比較陡，拿行李衹能自己是個挑戰，還有停車要上陡坡，得技術過硬。

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. Our room was wonderful and spacious. nestled in the heart of the small village of Mazan. Eric and Agnes were so inviting and definitely helpful in giving us great suggestions on where to go and great restaurants. Eric is a wonderful chef, if you are lucky enough to be there on a night that he’s cooking. Breakfast was amazing. Be sure to rent the smallest car available for driving in France the streets are super narrow between buildings. Le Jardin de Mazan has many stairs so be aware if you have limitations. We loved it and can’t wait to go back.

A fantastic place to stay. The hosts were so welcoming and helpful. It is a beautiful building with great gardens to relax in or eat breakfast. The food was very good for breakfast and the homemade dinner was amazing with all food sourced locally. A surreal location with Mont Ventoux nearby.

Le Jardin de Mazan was fantastic. The owners, who work the large home, Agnes and Aric (sp?) are extremely nice and welcoming. The property is awesome. It takes a minute to find through the narrow streets so take your time. However, once you walk in, the home and grounds are really expansive. The rooms are really large as well as the bathrooms. We toured all the rooms, since there were no other guests coming in that day, and each room is great. Breakfast is served in the large flower garden each morning. You hear all the church bells and birds while enjoying a big, freshly cooked breakfast. The room we stayed in was connected to a reading room and a pool table. It was so cool. I can't say enough about Le Jardin. They close in October but book for next year. The dining recommendations and location is perfect. You'll be super happy you stayed here. Lastly, Aric knows the area well for cyclists and touring so he will point you in the right direction! Enjoy....

A little overpriced The staying was good but not enough to justified the price we paid for. It was about 300 euros per night in the low season. The house needs to be better taken care and the location was not the best one for us. The service was good, the owners were nice and the breakfast was really unique in the garden though.

Beautiful oasis perfect to explore Provence This is a fabulous place with lovely owners. It feels like a quiet oasis. We were there during a heatwave (40 degrees) but inside the rooms felt beautifully cool. We stayed in the museum room which was large, the bed was big and super comfortable. There’s a bath in the room (something my husband really wanted) and I made the assumption that there would be a walk in shower. But there isn’t, instead it’s a hand held shower in the bath so you can feel quite on display showering in the room and I didn’t master the art of not getting water everywhere. I didn’t have the breakfast but my husband said it was delicious, especially the eggs. They also do a dinner once a week which we’d read excellent reviews on. We didn’t have the dinner since it was very hot and we were having one small meal a day (this was 3 courses for €45). I felt that the owners were a little offended that we weren’t eating breakfast or the dinner. It wasn’t anything personal, just small appetites! There’s also a billiards table and board games which was fun in the evenings. Two small points to flag - there are x4 parking spaces outside the property and it’s not guaranteed that you will get a spot. But you can park nearby. You may also want a smaller car for the narrow streets. Also, worth noting that we got quite a few bites outside by the pool in the afternoon so remember some bug repellent.
