Liz Chreist

Personally recommended by Liz and we get the hype! It's quaint, the host is personable, it's the perfect place to get an authentic taste of Provencal life. Dinners were lovely, the pool was a welcome break after our morning activities, and the team is so kind. A couple of things to note-we felt that our stay was uncomfortable due to the heat and mosquitoes. Our room on the top floor stayed warm throughout our stay and we were hesitant to open our window for better ventilation as there are lots of mosquitoes outside. We did mention this to the host, but nothing was done to address it, so we just adjusted for our 3-night stay. At other times of the year we can see how this would be the perfect stay, but during the summer it's a little tough. We also felt some of the pricing wasn't the most transparent. Although there is a sign by the front desk outlining cost of dinners, snacks, wine, etc., we noticed that when we requested a glass of wine during meals, we were poured very large pours that ultimately cost us the entire bottle (even if we weren't interested in this much). Just small things that gave us pause.

This was our favorite hotel. Amazing service (everyone was so kind and helpful with anything we could possibly need); they even upgraded us to a suite on their top floor when we returned on our last night. The location is fantastic, beds are very comfy, lovely bathrooms, great breakfast, GREAT A/C. Cannot say enough good things. This is where we will stay when we return to Paris.

Excellent private tour of the Louvre highlights. Our guide was very informative!

An enjoyable afternoon, our guide was very knowledgeable, we went to two wineries.

This was our favorite activity of the trip. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, kind enough to alter our plan for the day to work around the rough afternoon heat without us prompting him, and he noticed we enjoyed shopping at the small villages and took us to another for our last stop! He even offered to drop us off directly at our accommodation at the end of the day, rather than at the Tourism office. We really appreciated his thoughtfulness.

Rally enjoyed this experience! Informative, included excellent wines and cheeses.

I shared a deluxe sweet with my parents. I wish there was more privacy. I could hear too much.

Great location, kind owners

Great area. Small. Amazing staff. Gets the job done.

This hotel was our first stop. Our Paris trip went so fast. It’s hard to remember everything, but I do recall that we were located very centrally.

He was incredible. Absolutely loved this tour guide.

This was my dream experience. I really wanted to see the lavender field and I did!

I absolutely loved exploring Menton. I wish I could’ve spent more time there. I would’ve liked to have gone swimming there.

A great time to feel the sea. It was supervised and safe.

This day was overwhelming, partly because it was hot, which was out of anyone’s control. I felt like this whole experience was very rushed and I almost would’ve rather just gone swimming at a beach. He did his best to be accommodating, but he knew the type of group that we were and if he felt like Jim was such an impediment, he should’ve added a guide or suggested that Jim stay home.

This location is just exceptional. We had a great guide. There was some confusion about where to be picked up. She was accommodating. I would have advised the team better that Jim probably should not have come to this activity or maybe it was stated.

Great experience. I think I would preferred taking a tour via the van over the Jeep. For comforting reasons.

Excellent guides. However, time was too short.

Diana was very knowledgeable and helpful and accommodating. I wish the tour was longer. We did not have enough time.

Needs more hooks to hang clothes,

Very small rooms, no place to store your clothes.

Good location, good breakfast, bathtub/shower difficult to get in and out of.

The Central Hotel is well named, it is in the heart of Avignon. We would describe it as funky. Our room was on the top, on the fifth floor which was reached by an efficient elevator. Once on five there were three steps to a deck which led to our room. The AC worked well but the bathroom was odd. The shower had no curtains or walls and the drain in the floor did not keep the water from moving across the floor. The deck was available to other hotel guests and sometimes there were several who were smoking and drinking until 11 at night. The hotel staff was friendly but inexperienced. They did not know the hotel formerly had laundry service and was still mentioned in the room literature. We would prefer another hotel on future trips to Avignon.

I wish there were more stars I could give. I was not paid for this review and when you go there and leave you will be able to say the same thing. Unbelievable hotel!! Every member of their staff was top notch. We have stayed in a lot of nice places all over the world and you will not find a nicer hotel or more attentive staff than what you will find at Les Rochas Blanches! Absolute best. We arrived before check in and were invited to have lunch at their Michelin star restaurant for lunch. Best decision ever. Julian our waiter was awesome. He recommended a Cassis Rose’ wine with our pesto pasta dish that ended up being one of our favorite dishes on our trip. They were able to get us into our ocean view with a balcony room before check in which was a pleasant surprise. The room, I mean THE ROOM!!! Being able to order a pillow to match your sleeping style was unexpected. I ordered the buckwheat filled pillow and slept like a baby every night were there. I even ordered one like it when we got home because I liked it so much. lol. The two infinite pools we swam in were amazing. They were heated to a perfect temperature and overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Lounging by the pool with a glass of wine snacking on delicious snacks was like a dream. You will love the little round disk with the button in the middle. One push and the very attentive staff show up to help you with your food or drink order. They were the best. The front desk and concierge are phenomenal. They provided us with a shuttle into Cassis on several occasions and arranged transportation into La Ciotat for an excursion we had. When we were ready to be picked up in Cassis they were there in very short order to take us back to the hotel. That was a helpful perk. Before we, sadly, had to leave, my wife and I were already discussing how and when we could go back to Les Rochas Blanches! By far the best hotel experience we have had! Thank you for ending our vacation in such a relaxing and pleasant way!

This is authentic French experience. Very nonchalant and pleasant service provided by the hotel staff. The ladies working the front desk are the restaurant server and all around everything else when it comes to service. No complaints because they did a great job taking care of us. Our room was clean and well appointed. There was no A/C in the room we stayed in however it did not matter. We left the two windows open at night and the provided fan and were never uncomfortable. Plus you get to hear nature while you sleep! It is about a 15 minute walk into Bayeux which we never did as we hired a cab each time. We did eat a dinner in the restaurant and it was delicious. I’m not sure if the front desk attendant was the cook too but it was very good. We would stay at this hotel again.

We were only able to stay here a couple of nights. We arrived to the hotel prior to check in time as our flight was an early morning flight. The hotel staff were so helpful in providing us water and a place to rest for a little while they prepared our room. We did sleep on the comfortable lobby couch and after what seemed like only a few minutes they had our room ready, before check in time! Such a wonderful surprise. The room was clean and comfortable and gave a a chance to rest a little more before heading off to the short distance to Notre Dame. Champs de Elyse and the Arch de Triumph are only a short walk from the hotel. The breakfast in the hotel was excellent along with the nice waitresses that served. Overall we would stay at this hotel again. Perfect for our short stay in Paris.

Our guide Remy was amazing! He was such a wealth of knowledge. He did not just spew information but actually told the history of the places we stopped like you were back in 1944 landing in Normandy yourself. The places themselves are sobering places of history. We absolutely recommend this tour especially if you have Remy as your guide.

Very relaxing experience. The boat size was perfect for the 8 people and 2 crew. The tour was as expected and the skippers were very informative about the Calanques.

Absolutely lovely hotel. The breakfast was amazing and the staff was super supportive and helpful.

This hotel was very old and my room smelled terrible and had bugs all over it
