Hotel Restaurant Benvengudo

I stayed here as a kid 15 years ago and returned with my husband on our honeymoon. We stayed in one of the cottages, and everything about the hotel was amazing! Incredibly kind staff, delicious dinner and dessert (from an amazing pastry chef!), and breakfast by the pool, very nice and clean room, peaceful atmosphere. We were easily able to explore many towns nearby (Les Baux, Saint Rémy, Fontvieille, Arles, Gordes) and swam in the pool with a limoncello spritz. Everyone working there seemed to know who we were and that we were on our honeymoon! Definitely a highlight of our trip, and I would 100% return and recommend to friends!

My husband and I stayed for four nights in October, lovely hotel in a beautiful location. It was a good central location to head out to explore the region, we had a car. The staff were all friendly and helpful, and the room was large and had a door to its own little patio. It was too cool for the pool but it looked very nice.

The property itself is beautiful. The staff ruined our stay. They were unwelcoming, uncooperative, and rude. A party of four stayed for 3 nights, and each of us had encounters with the staff that were completely unacceptable for an establishment that bills itself as a luxury boutique hotel. I have been treated better at a Best Western.

This is the first review I write after very many stays at hotels the world over. The property as such is nice and well taken care of. The proximity to the road is certainly a drawback. The bed in our room was the worst I ever slept in, old, worn-out and sagging mattress. They removed the topper after the first night, no change whatsoever. We should have left after the first night but stayed for three, I had to visit our orthopedist afterwards.

A beautiful setting in a great location… to give this hotel five star instead of four, I would make 2 suggestions.. assistance with bags and table arrangements in restaurants.. I was seated at small table right next to the entrance of the kitchen and entrance the restaurant. I became the de facto greeter for the restaurant since there was not one, in addition to hearing all the server noise inside and an endless stream of comings and goings by guests and servers … I asked for a different table prior to s seating and was refused. Such a big beautiful patio.. put an unnecessary damper on otherwise wonderful stay.

This is a beautiful, well maintained property with exceptional service. We found the hotel particularly helpful with information for our adventures in Provence. The hotel was quiet and breakfast was delicious. The breakfast is a buffet with a selection of pastries, yogurt, cheeses, meats, and yogurt. Staying here added to the enjoyment of an amazing trip. Service was exemplary from all staff members.

Exceptional experience in beautiful stylish cozy place. We had amazing stay.staff was superfine attentive. Lovely rooms. Great restaurant amazing pastry cheff. We had dinner a la carte it was great! Exceptional breakfast. We loved it here and definitely will come back🖤Merci beaucoup!

An oasis of comfort and excellence. Traditional service in a good way, so often promised but rarely delivered The evening meals were memorable and on their own justified the stay. When we are next in the region this will be our first choice to return to.

There's NOT ONE thing I don't love about this place! LOCATION: Very central to all of Provence. Easy drive to Avignon, Axe, and Cassis, and Marseille. So close to Baux it makes it easy to beat the crowds in the mornings or linger later and have the whole town to yourself. Very convenient to several restaurants close by and hiking and nature all around. Many areas around you can see the sea in the distance. It's a quiet place surrounded by beauty, but you can still get dinner at 11 pm. At the heart of the mountainous Alpilles region this area is a spectacular spectacle to take in with jewel hilltop towns and unbeatable cuisine. All around are olive groves and wine producers to visit QUALITY: The grounds are meticulously kept, the rooms seem brand new with high end finishes, and a comfortable bed. The staff provides impeccable service at your beckon request, going above and beyond the call of duty. The food is top notch, elegant without being fussy. This is a place that induces relaxation and carries you easily into a zen state of mind. The pool is heated to a comfortable temperature, even into October! VALUE: Overall, this feels like a 5 STAR establishment, but the pricing won't gouge your pockets. As you drive through the gated entrance and down the lavender, cypress, and fruit-tree lined way...the layers of stress will fall away and you will fully feel the effects of being in the French countryside, and everything behind that way of life. Enjoy life to its full, take long lunches with friends, drink wine plentifully, olive oil is the liquid of the gods, the air is perfumed, the sun is warm, the breeze is mesmerizing. You just might not want to ever leave.

Beautiful property, excellent accommodations, friendly helpful staff. Couldn't have been a nicer experience at Benvengudo.

Lieu magnifique, personnel charmant et nourriture au top ! Vaiy absolument le détour !

We had a wonderful visit. There were 4 of us. We spent 2 nights. The rooms are spacious. There are slippers & robes. We had cookies & sparkling water awaiting us in the room when we arrived. The staff couldn't have been nicer. They were always so helpful & cheery & smiling. We were there in October & went in the pool. Breakfast was nice. Great place to stay. Very quiet & good sleeping.

We stayed there for four nights in August 2013. It was a superb experience. We had the Cote Bastide suite upstairs in the main building, with separate bedroom and a living room. Very nice and a perfect view over the front garden. Newly renovated and in excellent condition. We had dinner twice at the restaurant sitting outside in the front garden. Absolutely lovely! Exquisite food and service, usually a set 4 course menu. The chef is extremely talented. In addition, the wine pairing to the food was to die for! We tried two other restaurants around Les Beaux-de-Provence, but nothing compared to Benvengudo! The swimming pool is nice and the morning breakfast is fresh and completely satisfactory. The staff was very professional and extremely helpful and nice. We are planning to return!!!!!! Highly recommended!

We stayed there for three nights with the family. It's not just the Hotel, it's the combination of the whole area which makes this place ..."magic". We stayed the nights before in Monaco and Nice and arriving at Benvengudo felt like vacation has finally started. The Staff was very friendly and professional and payed attention which made our stay memorable. The room service was fantastic and more then plenty. I can not recommend this place more. If you go there for a romantic weekend or with the whole family. You will create a memory that last. We will come again.

To call this a 4-Star Hotel is ludicrous. To rate it a 3-Star property is even stretching it. The "minibar" consisted of a refrigerator with one small bottle of Evian and one small bottle of sparkling water. The "coffee and tea making facility" was a hot water pot. All other balconies and patios had a table and two chairs. Ours had no table. They are wicker and lightweight, so my husband and I requested a table, for our drinks, phones, newspapers, etc. The answer we got was NO, with no explanation. We then asked for a Nespresso machine, after we learned that other rooms had them. We enjoy having our coffee early, before breakfast, which is served between 8:00 and 10:30. Again, the answer was NO with no explanation. Nor could we go down and get a pot of coffee before 8:00 a.m. When we did go down to breakfast, the coffee was weak and certainly not worth the wait. Our room was a Cote Jardin, one of the "nicer" single rooms. It was OK, perhaps on par with a Best Western or Holiday Inn. The towels are stiff and small. The housekeeping staff didn't empty our overflowing wastebasket and left one of our pillows on a chair, with its case thrown on the floor. Do NOT waste your money or precious vacation time on this poor excuse for a "luxury" hotel.

I am a tough grader... Three stars is pretty good! My wife and I stayed here for two nights on our honeymoon. It is nothing amazing... but overall it was a very nice place to start our vacation. The grounds are fantastic... Nice pool, beautiful landscaping, well maintained property and building... Our room was nice and had no flaws with a big and nice bathroom. A warning for late eaters: we arrived very tired after and overnight flight and drive and overslept our reservation in les baux. Apparently, even on a Saturday in the late spring, places will not even serve you after 9 - we tried about 4 places and were turned aside. We were out of luck and a bit down when it looked like we would have no meal on our first night there - we retired to the hotel. After several tries I finally convinced (language barrier) a young chambermaid to bring us an assortment of delicious cheeses and fresh bread and we washed it down with some of the nice champagne in the minibar. In the end it was one of our more memorable meals. The staff was not overly warm and friendly but very professional. It is a reasonably priced hotel for the region and we enjoyed it. Not a highlight but it provided a good home base for us to explore provence, the riviera, aix etc etc.
