La Bastide Du Paradou 2

We couldn’t have loved this property more. Keep in mind, it is a 16th century Bastide, so it will never be a glitzy modern hotel. The furnishings are basic but the rooms are spacious. It feels like you are staying in an old country inn. Only drawback, you may have to carry your bags up a steep and narrow staircase—we had two flights to climb, and it was a bit of a workout—doable for us but maybe not for everyone. In the garden there are patio tables and chairs arranged around an old courtyard fountain. When we were there in summer, the vegetation was a bit overgrown, which only added to the ambiance. Flowers spilled over and luscious fruit hung from the trees. It smelled like fresh cut grass and roses. To get to the hilltop village, you climb up a small private path that looks down into the neighbors’ properties and you see chickens, and vegetable and flower gardens. The village is enchanting! Finally, the manager is delightful! Her English is not too good, but she did her best to help with any request. We definitely felt welcome and had a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We would certainly come again!

Super friendly, patient, helpful staff. Helped us organize our day trip to the Lake Saint Croix, boat rentals, etc. Rooms are spacious, bright, clean, quiet, comfortable. Bathrooms are beautifully tiled, fine grove fixtures, large tubs. Breakfast is delicious. Will come back. Just wonderful.

We had a wonderful couple nights here. The family that run it are so nice. The gentleman spent time talking to me and skiing! It was so nice and authentic.

Very nice hotel close to the village.
