Hotel Reviews
Bastide de Bellegarde
Avignon

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.

Grand Hotel du Palais Royal
Paris

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.

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.

I’m also happy that Bastide de Bellegarde offered the charm, authenticity, and hospitality we hoped it would. Their dinners, pool, and personal touches are often highlights for guests, and it’s lovely to hear those aspects resonated with you. At the same time, I truly appreciate your candid feedback regarding the summer heat, mosquitoes, and the wine service. Thank you for expressing this so thoughtfully.

Your activities sound absolutely wonderful, and I’m delighted they added so much richness to your trip. The Luberon E‑Bike Adventure especially seems like a highlight, which is also one of my favorite activities. I’m glad your guide’s flexibility and kindness made the day even more special. It’s great to hear how much you enjoyed the Caves du Louvre tasting, your Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape wine tour, and your private Louvre visit as well. These experiences are chosen with care, and it’s lovely to know they aligned so well with your interests.

Thank you again for your kind words about our team’s planning and recommendations. It means so much to us, and we’re grateful for your trust. We would love to help you plan your next adventure whenever the time feels right.

I called a lot of places- and the ONLY one who could do anyting was Amadine.
She took care of everything, a remarkable two week adventure. 5 days on the rivers, and the rest visiting the sites of a beautiful part of the world.
They kayaking was just as we wanted, the accomodations best available, drivers spot on and timely.
I could not have asked for better.
I would suggest Kimkim for very specific bespoke touring.

Hotel Reviews
Hotel Alchimy
ALBI

The Hotel Alchimy in Albi was nice, and the restaurant there was excellent with very good service. However, the air conditioning in our room was not effective during the heat wave, and we had to request a fan to stay comfortable. Despite this, the staff were very accommodating and tried their best to help.

Le Petit Manoir
Sarlat-la-Canéda

We stayed at Le Petit Manoir in Sarlat and really loved it. The hotel was lovely, centrally located, and the staff were very accommodating, helping us with dinner reservations and local plans. The pool was a great bonus, and the air conditioning was very effective and refreshing.

Les Hauts de Bagadou
Martel

No air conditioning, and no hot water. Beautiful and nice people but AC is a must.

The kayaking experience with Saporito was excellent. The company was very accommodating, and the app they provided was fantastic, allowing us to know exactly where we were on the river at all times.

Dear Bob and Gae,

Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful reflection on your trip to the Riviera. It was a pleasure to help you plan this getaway, and I’m delighted to hear how smooth and enjoyable your experience was from the moment you arrived to your final departure.

I’m so glad you felt comfortable at Hotel Suisse and enjoyed the cozy room, breakfast, and service — it’s a lovely property with a wonderful location, and it’s great to know it suited your stay so well.

Your kind words about Pierire, Fred, and Oceanana mean a great deal. They each take tremendous pride in sharing the Riviera with visitors, and I’m thrilled to hear how personable, knowledgeable, and friendly they were throughout your travels. Knowing they helped make each day fun and memorable is truly wonderful.

It sounds like you had such beautiful moments exploring the region — from the lively market and coastline in Antibes, to the charm of Saint‑Tropez, to the scenic drive and photo stops on the way to Monaco. And I’m delighted the gardens at Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild left such an impression; they really are magnificent.

Thank you again for your kind words about the planning process. It means so much to know that the itinerary felt comfortable, well‑paced, and tailored to the time you had in the Riviera. I’m grateful for the opportunity to create this experience for you.

Warm regards,
Liz and the rest of the kimkim France team
