"Mathias Dandine made his childhood dream come true when he became chef at this handsome 18C mansion with a terrace shaded by mature plane trees, situated far from the noise of the city. Here, his cuisine is in perfect harmony with the setting, where he celebrates Provence with breathtaking skill. His unfussy, pared-down Mediterranean cuisine shuns unnecessary frills, with no particular effort made to impress foodies. Yet behind the apparent simplicity, the chef’s recipes demonstrate real mastery in cooking methods, textures and balance of flavours. In fine weather, make sure you take a seat on the terrace shaded by Mediterranean trees." - Michelin Inspector

"Gémenos, in the Bouches-du-Rhône, serves as the setting for this imposing 18C aristocratic residence, which now houses a hotel and restaurant under the La Magdeleine – Mathias Dandine brand. Its lovely grounds and terrace are great assets, as is the vegetable garden which supplies produce for the Michelin Starred restaurant of Mr. Dandine." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team

An idyllic slice of Provence. Great views, beautiful garden, charming outdoor seating...my room had large windows and was very spacious, and had a lovely bathtub. All the design details, from the keys to the pottery used in the breakfast buffet, plus a staff that is very helpful and kind. The restaurant is definitely worth eating at. A wonderful space, very professional and informative staff, three menus to choose from guaranteed to give you a snapshot of the local culture with a finesse and refinement. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back.

We stayed at this hotel for a week. The location of this hotel is beautiful. The rooms are old and in need of some renovation, but do not lack charm. The team is overall friendly and helpful. Food was very problematic as guests at the hotel. Here is why: The hotel has two restaurants. One is Michelin rated and not at all suited for repeat dinners and lunches. The other one is supposed to be more accessible, however this restaurant offers only three-course lunches. Eating a three-course lunch everyday is excessive for most people, let alone on a long stay and with children. We asked very kindly if we could eat at the restaurant without taking the three-course lunch every day and received a somewhat stern and condescending "no" from management. They asked us to eat in the entrance area instead. That area had a few scattered tables and chairs, however it did not have service. When we asked for service, we were told that they cannot serve us there as they need to prioritize the restaurant. As a result, we had to go find food outside of the hotel most of the time, which really affected the quality of our stay. It was a disappointing response and attitude from management, which seemed to prioritize the operation of the restaurants for outside guests over the experience of people staying at the hotel.

We stayed at La Magdeleine for three nights at the end of April and had a wonderful time! We were there as a family and our children loved the park, the pool & and the various games that were at our disposal (boules, darts, balls..). It was warm enough to enjoy breakfast everyday outside - which was a real delight! The location is ideal to discover the area. The room was really nice and spacious with a great attention to detail. We hope to return and also get the chance to try the restaurant. Overall a wonderful experience!

We have visited this hotel numerous times - a fabulous setting, dining under the trees is wonderful but expensive and the set menu at the bistro is rather limited. Unfortunately over the years certain areas of the hotel have not been upgraded to keep pace with the improved rating of the hotel and the tariff. In particular the bathrooms. I would expect a bath/shower that works properly for these prices and hopefully this will be addressed this coming year before I visit again next year.

Stayed a week with the family in this delightful property. A wonderful week from an attentive staff, a beautiful house and garden with charm, amazing breakfast and diner/lunch venue, great decoration yet not ostentatious, full of history, great location to explore the region. A great discovery - certainty à top 10 in our international (long) list of venues

A romantic trip to celebrate my wife’s birthday in the stunning Provençal small luxury hotel set in gorgeous gardens. Everything was superb. Staff were smiling, friendly and efficient. Room was wonderful. Michelin starred meal was terrific. Thanks to the Team for a magnificent stay

The most astonishing is the design of the whole hotel, the garden, the facade, and interiors are so beautifully decorated. The room was really spacious and had everything we needed. The staff was very polite, making sure we are happy and answering to our demands, often recieving small gifts in our room like cake, candies and fresh fruit. The restaurant had delicious food, live music and it was cosy .

This was an absolute jewel of a hotel. Right now, with the euro equal to the dollar, France feels like a bargain compared to American places. For example, the endless breakfast buffet full of locally sourced delicacies with coffee and juice for less than 30 dollars a person! ||The restaurants are the main attraction here and the amount of love and care that goes into the food is impressive.||The only downside is that the air conditioning is weak so it’s warm at night in the room (this will only be a problem for Americans, everyone else knows how to open windows and deal with it but we’re very spoiled).||But, that also made for a more authentic and pastoral experience overall. ||Make sure and try the Pistou soup. It will blow you away. I loved this place and was sad to leave.
