A little understaffed. Waiters and waitresses in the restaurant were not really trained to be above and beyond. Breakfast was just average. The rooms were just terrific. The terraces outside the room were really nice, but unable to be used because it was too hot. But great rooms. Again you had to eat in the hotel because it wasn’t close to anything. You don’t want to drive in this area at night after drinking wine!

I would make this a five star if it wasn’t for a few surly members of the staff. But there were some good ones too: a little out of the way. But really a fine hotel. Not overwhelmed by their breakfast. The bistro restaurant next-door was just great. Great staff there. Planning for this hotel should include proper reservations for guests. There’s nothing near it so it’s almost imperative to eat there. We were lucky time or two because even though it was booked, they let us in.

We also loved our sunset cruise in La Rochelle and our bike ride to Ile de Re. Beautiful villages and coastline.

All of our drivers were on time and courteous. We ran into one issue in Paris. This was the only driver that didn’t text me on where to meet him. I had to call and we weren’t in the right location. Took a while for us to find him and many phone calls later. All worked out in the end.

I need to also mention that Alexia went out of her way to try to find us an alternate way to get to Bordeaux as we had an unexpectedly long layover at CDG. The effort was much appreciated.

This was our second experience with KimKim and I would highly recommend their services. We will definitely be back!.

We had an issue in getting off the train for Bayeaux, not knowing the stop was for 2 minutes. We did not make it off in time and rode to the next stop and took the next train back to Bayeaux. The driver then had to come back and pick us up. It all worked out in the end.
All the hotels were worked really well as far as location. It is a real pain when you can't check into a hotel until late afternoon though. In Bayeaux we had to drag our luggage around town to find a restaurant open because the owner was not on site since we were later getting there from the train station. That was bad.

But we are very pleased with the bookings and we were always able to get a hold of someone for assistance when needed. All in all, a very good experience.

Dear Brenda,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such detailed feedback with us — it truly means a lot, and it helps us keep improving.

We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the tours and guides so much, especially the gourmet food tour in Saint-Germain and the half-day wine tour. Our guides will be delighted to hear such kind words!

That said, we're sorry for the bumps along the way. Having two different drivers show up for your airport transfer on the final day should not have happened, and we understand how confusing and frustrating that must have been. We're also sorry about the mix-up at the Bayeux train stop. Had we known you would be delayed, we would have asked the B&B owner to wait for you. We're sorry that, arriving later than planned and after a long day of travel, you found no one there to welcome you, luggage in tow. That's exactly the kind of moment we want to spare our guests.

Please know we're taking this feedback seriously and looking at how we can avoid these kinds of hiccups for future travelers.

Thank you again for your trust and for such an honest, thoughtful review. We do hope to welcome you back on another trip in the future!

Warm regards,

KimKim planned an incredible 12-day trip for our family, spanning ages 4 to 75, and they nailed it. Lucie spent over a year helping us perfect the itinerary, and when she went on maternity leave, Audrey stepped in seamlessly - rebooking trains after a weather cancellation, getting us onto a new boat in Marseille within the hour after a hiccup with our original cruise, and even helping us troubleshoot a power outage at our Paris apartment on a Saturday night. We always felt taken care of.

Our villa in Orgon was stunning: gorgeous grounds with a spectacular pool, which was a major perk given the heatwave during our stay. Our Montmartre apartment was equally lovely and perfectly located for exploring with kids. Activity highlights were everywhere: a day trip to visit Les Baux de Provence and the Carrières de Lumière was magical (and a cool escape from the summer heat), the Jardin d'Acclimatation was a huge hit with the kids, and the Ducasse sur Seine dinner cruise was a lovely evening adventure for me and my husband with great food and sunset views. The guides for our walking tours were exceptional across the board: Séverine brought Marseille to life, Sonali turned the Louvre into an engaging treasure hunt for the kids, and Sophie gave us a totally fresh, local take on Montmartre.

High-end accommodations, thoughtful planning, and a team that was always just a message away - we'd book with KimKim again in a heartbeat!

This villa was stunning — immaculate landscaping, a spacious and well-kept interior, and hands-down the nicest private pool I've ever seen. We spent hours in it every day, which was a lifesaver during the heatwave. The location was ideal, close to charming villages, all the essentials (supermarket, boulangeries, pharmacies), and our planned activities. Karine, the villa manager, was excellent — responsive, warm, and easy to work with.
