Good stop-over on the way to the cote d'azur

Only two hours from the cote d'azur, this is an ideal place to stop on a Friday and miss the traffic on a Saturday. Finding the place was not that easy - we had to ignore the Tom Tom in the nearby village. Heading towards Salon de Provence the next day went smoother. We booked 3 bedrooms for the 6 of us (2 adults, 4 children). We were given 3 adjoining rooms on the ground floor at the end of one of the buildings and could open the adjoining doors - very handy! Rooms were a little outdated, reasonably clean and with Airco. Bathrooms could also do with renewing.
We made use of the excellent swimming pool and good tennis courts. With a restaurant next door, it is easier to eat there than try and find something in the vicinity. Quality of the food was very good. Choice of food for children could be better. Good breakfast the next morning as well. Wi-Fi worked well and was free, but being so far out in the sticks, there was sometimes no mobile network available. We slept well on comfortable beds. Excellent service at the reception. Good quality-price ratio. A place to relax in a very calm environment and cool off in the pool after a long drive.

enjoyable as ever!

Another return visit, and another relaxing, enjoyable stay at this charming and welcoming hotel.----As described by another reviewer the courtyard is indeed a magical place to sit and eat good food in the wonderful atmosphere of a sunny provencal day or a peaceful evening.The grounds are shady and the pool has a lovely setting, as has the tennis court. Reception is relaxed and welcoming and the staff friendly and helpful.---This is a rural hotel, and the atmosphere is not one of corporate perfection and rigid attention to detail- the rooms are clean and comfortable and well maintained { some with a generous balcony over- looking the garden or the parched surrounding countryside} but with a lived- in look, with none of the look of ''chain hotels''---- happily ---to us anyway ! The hotel itself and the surrounding area are interesting historically, and there is a nearby road named after one of the bravest Resistance leaders, and we were told he had some connection to the hotel during that time,---- which all adds to the atmosphere for us. The above is just some of what we enjoy at Reynaude,so many thanks again to all at the Hostellerie de Domaine de la Reynaude!-- From an English family.

A dream location

This Domaine and the staff who are there have a warmth and a charm that is exceptional and worth making your way into this beautiful piece of countryside - making everyone feel welcome.

Negatives first: The rooms are basic (although nice and clean)- not luxury, and the breakfast is average.

The remainder of this Provencal gem are definitely worth elaborating on:
Firstly, the staff are friendly, accommodating and engaged, and do everything they can to make the stay special.
Secondly, the restuarant food is exquisite and that alone is worth a trip, even if you are not staying over.

We visited the Domaine on holiday the first time as a travelling couple, and fell in love with the rustic charm of the place, and after deliberation, decided to make this the venue of our wedding celebration.

We could not have made a better choice. The grounds are an amazing canvas, the courtyard is magical, the pool is enormous and quiet, and the food was without exception 5 star all throughout the weekend.

The owner and staff did everything that they could to make it special for everyone attending, and we had the most incredible relaxing weekend. All of the preparation and planning leading up to the weekend was done professionally and rapidly.

Everyone of our guests that stayed over was effusive about the warm welcome of this Domaine, and we will definitely be returning soon!

looking forward to our next visit

We have sampled many and varied hotels over time- but time and time again have returned to Domaine de-la-Reynaude for enjoyable family holidays. The setting of the hotel could be described as idyllic-------- and the surrounding Provencal countryside is delightful, providing activities for varied agegroups. The surrounding roads are usually quiet and have views ranging from tranquil to spectacular. This is a RURAL hotel !!--------- and the surrounding countryside must be teeming with wildlife, but , as we are there, in often very hot weather, we, sadly, catch only rare glimpses of it.-------Granted---- we have had the occasional problem --- which the staff .politely and cheerfully, have tried to put right, and there is probably room for improvement in some areas.On a practical note,we found the rooms comfortable and pleasant, the corridors well ventilated and well lit ,if needed. The restuarant is charming and eating out of doors in the courtyard provides a safe place for children to play when they have finished their meal. Food is similar to many comparable hotels, and we feel the hotel is quite well represented in pictures and text on the website. We are looking forward to our next visit.---------- by -----'An English Family'.

run down and inacurately shown

We have just returned from a weekend wedding where the difference between the photos on the website and the reality of the place bared no comparison. What was posibly once a lovely place, sadly is no longer.

We didn't care to share the restaurant whilst mice blatently fed on our breakfast as we sat. The corridors leading to the bedrooms were not unlike the film "The Shining" and the receptionist doubled up and served the whole of the hotel guests the evening meal.

To sum it up, rather than a country retreat, it was more like the YMCA.
