I can’t say enough good things about Maison Salix. It’s one of the most beautiful and charming places I’ve ever stayed. The restoration of the old mansion is impeccable, the rooms are absolutely stunning, as are the common areas. The large garden has a beautiful pool and tables where you have lovely breakfasts and dinners. The food is fresh, delicious and served with a smile. Hugues and his wonderful staff are the kindest, warmest people. They shared great tips for day trips, restaurants etc. we can’t wait to come back!

A wonderful experience. Staying at Maison Salix is hard to describe, it’s more of a feeling, like staying with close family but without any obligation. The 600 year old ‘Maison’ is just stunning, recently renovated and beautifully curated it has the perfect mix of traditional and modern, with impeccable detail. The garden and pool area is a little Provence oasis with a beautiful selection of plants and if you come from a city like us, the microcosm of wildlife is such a rarity and you can easily spend the days there relaxing with a book peacefully if a true break is what you’re after. There is a the pool for a refreshing swim or dip and a fully kitted out gym to burn off the croissants should you desire, Kurt is the go to here, an experienced trainer with expert nutrition knowledge you can really try something new and learn how to live a more healthier lifestyle if that’s something you’re interested in, if not it’s not forced just personal to you. The food is just exceptional, breakfast consisted of a number of healthy options; plenty of fresh fruit, yoghurt, overnight oats, eggs and avocado and the odd not so healthy croissant and fresh French bread but that’s what holidays are for! Again everything is personal, if you want something but not something else that’s never a problem, Hugues one of the friendliest people you will meet and will make sure breakfast is one of the favourite times of day. Dinners are always delicious, it’s a fresh and changing daily menu with delicious clean plates that are full of flavour and keep you feeling light and happy. During our stay we had a full range of dishes from salmon tartare, grilled chicken, Portuguese style monkfish in rice and grilled octopus. Dinners are a set three dishes which takes away any guesswork and decision making along with a great opportunity to try new things. Location is perfect, the village is quiet and friendly and a 20min drive from Arles or Avignon with plenty of smaller towns worth visiting at a similar distance. Speak to Kurt or Hugues and they will guide you depending on what you want to see. The full team: Hugues, Kurt, Vincent, Malika and Marcel are just amazing they are warm, friendly and professional with an incredible eye for detail and all ensure the experience is personal to you, nothing is too much trouble and all the team are incredibly thoughtful and caring, the cleaning is meticulous and returning to the suite always brings a smile to your face. We enjoyed our stay at Maison Salix and felt like we were leaving family at the end of the break. Staying here is a must if visiting Provence a true rejuvenation of the body and mind. We will definitely be back again!
