Like many others, it is impossible to review this B & B without noting the magnificent views of the Palais du Papes and the Petit Palais from the balcony and the rooftop. Sabine is an excellent host – engaging, informative and generous. She provided us with very helpful advice during our stay and was always happy to chat over a... More

This review is long overdue! My partner and I stayed with Sabing for a big birthday a couple of years ago. I will preface this by saying that I went to school in France and lived there for about 8 years one of those years in Provence. I can't speak highly enough of L'Ombre. What a lovely home....and the room... More

Madame Sabine is a fabulous hostess. She is there when needed but also gives guests personal space. Her B & B is gorgeous, with beautiful views of the Palais des Papes. Madeline is a dear-very effusive and friendly. She is quick with offers to assist with sightseeing or restaurants and she doesn't steer your wrong. Beautiful music plays, tea on... More

I had the pleasure of staying longer than I expected at L'Ombre du Palais with the the most gracious and lovely Hostess. I treasure my time there with Sabine (and Madeline) and the great lengths she aspires to, to make you feel welcomed and taken such good care of. If you need some guidance with your itinerary Madame will be... More

A very, very special place looking up at the beautiful Palais des Papes. Sabine Ferrand creates a magical atmosphere. We definitely want to return (from New Zealand) to this very special place. More

Like many of the other reviews here, our stay at l'Ombre was made memorable by the hospitality of Sabine, who welcomed us with a cold glass of wne on a very hot day, and couldnt have been more helpful with advice and suggestions of unmissable regional highlights. The location is great if you're traveling by car, and also easy from... More

This hotel was good because of the hostess and her knowledge of the area and it's location. The rooms were average. It was advertised as taking credit cards but we had to pay cash. The credit card machine was not working for three days????? Sabine insisted that we go to the local bank and get cash. This was very inconvenient... More

After reading the reviews for L'Ombre du Palais on TripAdvisor, we were really looking forward to staying with Sabine however we were left a little disappointed. The location of this hotel is a major plus point and we thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast on the balcony. However our room was a bit of a letdown. Though spacious it was very dark... More
