“Relaxing, glorious, summer-y week in Provence!” Completely wonderful week with 2 other couples. The weather was most cooperative, and William guided us unobtrusively every step of the way. William has the uncanny knack of being there with a big smile when we needed him (for guidance, dinner reservations, breakfast croissants and more) and not when not. He was the IDEAL concierge. We quickly felt as if we knew exactly what to do for maximum enjoyment!

“We found "Eden" at Provence Paradis” I first found Provence Paradis on VRBO for an adult group trip in 2010. For this first trip, our group of 10 stayed in Le Moulin, La Tour & a small hideaway room. Each member of our group fell totally in love with Provence Paradis. Everything was so incredible, that my husband & I returned with one of the couples in 2012, staying in Le Moulin. Again, this hamlet was truly a "Paradise." But our most amazing trip was this June, 2014. We stayed in La Tuilerie with our two sons & their wives for two weeks. Because this was our third time to stay here, I felt like William & his amazing staff were like family. From the delicious meal awaiting us, to all the "extras" William provided, we never wanted to leave. The gardens, pool & spa are so enticing that you must include time in your stay to just relax & breathe in the smells of Provence. We took many day trips recommended by William - Isle sur la Sorgue, La Vaucluse, Arles, Avignon, Chateau Neuf du Pape & so many more. William is an expert on all these sites, & we just had to mention that "William sent us" & everyone treated us like royalty. William IS Provence Paradis. His heart knows no bounds in meeting each guest's requests. He is so intuitive of his guests, that he anticipates their desires before they can. His dedication to adhering to the history & culture of this region is nothing short of a true "labor of love." Each of the houses are exemplary of French provincial architecture & decor. While staying in these houses, we get to "live" history. One of our most enjoyable activities was a personal chef day arranged by William. After discussing what we wanted to have for lunch, Maria (the chef) took us to the market in St. Remy where we bought all the fresh ingredients necessary. We then returned to La Tuilerie where we prepared our own lunch under the tutelage of this marvelous chef. Our gourmet lunch was perfect! William & a neighbor in the hamlet joined us for an unforgettable experience. We will continue to vacation in "Paradise" with William for many years to come.

“We hated to leave Provence Paradise” My wife and I and our college age daughter thoroughly enjoyed a one-week stay at Provence Paradise in April. La Bastide surpassed all of our expectations, and we could not of been more pleased with our stay. Our accommodations were extremely cozy, but it's the wonderful service William provided that will bring us back - he really is an incredible guy. Being newcomers to France, we had many many questions about what to do, where to go, and all types of other questions. William could not have been more accommodating to our needs–he is on a mission to make sure absolutely everybody has a wonderful time in France. We were particularly grateful to William that he, after finding out my wife wasn't sleeping well due to a neck problem, went out of his way to locate and purchase a new pillow that would help her sleep. Good luck getting someone to do that for you at a hotel. Just as helpful to us was hearing where not to go–on more than one occasion William steered us in the right direction and helped us maximize our time in France–he knows not everything you read in the tourist books are necessarily true! For those of who have never been to St. Remy, it is the perfect spot to establish your "home-base" to experience Provence. We took day trips most days to the beautiful villages and wine country surrounding St. Remy. We were captivated by the relaxed pace, fantastic scenery, and kindness of the local citizens. Anyone expecting a "French attitude" will not find it here – at least that was our experience. We particularly enjoyed the easy walk into St. Remy from Provence Paradise for dinner in the evenings (William provides many wonderful recommendations–many you would certainly not otherwise find an your own) St. Remy really is a lovely village–market day on Wednesday was one of our favorite things from our vacation. Many many thanks to William and his staff for making this a most memorable vacation. It is our sincere hope to be back someday.

“Our entire Provence Paradise experience was unprecedented in its” The setting, design, construction, and maintenance of the Provence Paradise was extraordinary. The innkeeper, Mr. William Moore, was a charming blend of Master of Ceremonies, concierge, translator, highly erudite tour guide, counselor, and personal ombudsman. The service, including fresh warm croissants every morning, and cogent personalized support and the attention to detail given to every aspect of our stay was incomparable. Quite simply, the best experience of its kind we've ever enjoyed. Without question, the best part of the whole month was the delight of getting to know William Moore. The location is picturesque, right on the edge of St. Remy, and very convenient to many other lovely fascinating villages of Provence.

“Beautiful villa, superb hospitality and a wonderful location.” We had a wonderful time staying at L'Orangerie for our honeymoon. It started with William picking us up at the train station at Avignon and bringing us to the villa. A cheese plate and a bottle of wine were waiting for us, as well as a lovely dinner for our first night. This was just the beginning of our experience of unparalleled hospitality from William and his family (for more on that, see further below). The villa itself is lovely and cosy, with a private terrace and a little loft for children to sleep in. We made ourselves lunch and dinner most days - the kitchen is well supplied with pretty much anything you might need. There is a shared swimming pool which is large enough to get some exercise and surrounded by beautiful gardens - we often had the pool area to ourselves and enjoyed swimming, lounging around, drinking champagne and doing yoga by the pool (not in that order!). The villa is a quick ten minute walk into the centre of town, and we opted not to rent a car since we were there for only four nights and wanted to relax and not worry about driving. That worked out very well. We went on a spectacular wine tour one day, spent another day poking around the market and exploring the town and the sights around town (Roman ruins, Van Gough's old "residence" in an asylum) and even took a day trip to Les Beaux, a spectacular little town nestled in the mountains, one day. We spent our last day exploring Avignon before our train left. The biggest difference between L'Orangerie and the other places we have rented is the hospitality.We were delivered fresh pastries each morning, provided with some "basics" in the pantry and fridge, assisted with any day trips we wanted to make, and William even held our luggage for us while we explored Avignon on the last day. We'll definitely be back - our only regret is that we weren't able to be there for a full week. Next time, we will certainly spend at least a week there!

“Excellent” We have received all we need in our Provence trip - peace and quiet. Thanks to owners for privacy and comfort of our stay.
