Guestbook Reviews
Andreas has served absolutely fantastic food, Mikaela has conjured up amazing wines, driven the van like a pro, and taken us to the very best places!
Monica — it feels like we’ve been living inside an interior design magazine this weekend, and honestly, we never want to leave…
The botanical gardens were so beautiful and relaxing. It felt great to be out of the city and in nature. The lunch you prepared was fantastic and delicious. I’ve always wanted to have a French picnic out in nature and now I have!
The walk through the village was so nice and then the champagne tasting in a beautiful location ended the day perfectly. Last but not least, the company was great; I think I’ve met life long friends. I can’t wait to go on another adventure with you.
I’m so glad I took the leap and signed up for this event.
Hope to see you soon.
Loved the perfume garden and being free to wander and take pictures. Your lovely homemade lunch was over the top. I loved the lemonade you served and have since bought some at Bio. Wise on your part to have lemonade for lunch as we certainly drank our share of Champagne after lunch in that gorgeous setting.
You were so personable and kind sharing history and stories. Also loved our side trip to the charming village and chateau. If ten was the highest rating I would give you an 11! Special thanks to Frederick for driving us everywhere!
Le Val
Tucked into the gentle hills of the Var, Le Val embodies the quiet charm of Provence and the ease of rural life. Narrow lanes wind past stone houses with weathered shutters, inviting you to wander without hurry.
With its relaxed rhythm and timeless beauty, Le Val feels like a place made for slowing down, lingering a little longer, and discovering the true essence of southern France.
Reserve your spot!
Join us for a few unforgettable days in Provence, where beautiful landscapes, local flavors, and slow living come together in a personal and intimate experience.
