We had the evening special. Our starter was beet purée with a poached egg- magnificent! This was followed with a veal with mushroom, fingerling potatoes and a lovely sauce. Very nice , not too heavy and quite flavorful. Dessert was a banana carmelized with a home made ice cream- fabulous! Our meal was matched with the winery's own white and red. Nicolas came to check in with us, the wait staff were lovely as well. Highly recommend for a pleasant evening with good relaxing atmosphere!! Highly recommend!

Les Florets is a hotel and restaurant in the hills on the outskirts of Gigondas, one of the famous…read morewinemaking hamlets in the Vaucluse region of Provence. The hotel is perfectly situated as a base from which to explore the wine territories, the local sights and hiking in the nearby craggy Dentelles de Montmireille. Both the hotel and restaurant are run by Proprietor Thierry Bernard and his wife. The hotel setting is lovely and idyllic, set in a woods right at the base of the Dentelles (in fact the start of the hiking path up the hills is 300 yards further up the road. Rooms are decently-appointed and comfortable. The outdoor porch and yard also are lovely. Prices are very reasonable. The restaurant is a real standout, featuring top-notch local and French cuisine, skillfully prepared and immaculately presented. We ate there twice, and worked through various items on the menu. Its quite clear locals also dine there, which is not surprising, given its quality. In addition, the winelist is tremendous, and comprehensive, featuring not only wines from Gigondas and other southern Rhone distiricts, but also farther afield. In addition the famly also owns their own wineries, providing a very tempting "house" choice. Thierry is very good at helping diners select the best accompaniment for their meal. Overall we had a good experience at Les Florets. Our travel circumstances were slightly stressed by some earlier mishaps, and both Thierry and his wife were patient and helpful in trying to resolve the issues. Great hoteliers and splendid dinner hosts. I'd give the hotel 4 1/2 stars, and the restaurant 5 stars.

I've stayed in many hotels and B&Bs all over France. This one hits the mark with its charm,…read morelocation, and service. You are in the center of the medieval village and have fabulous views of the village below. They even have guest parking across the street--very rare in this district of narrow, one-way, cobblestone streets. The breakfast is generous and the setting is dreamy--if it's nice you are eating in their garden. I also found the rooms large and well appointed--a plus in France where hotel rooms are often too tight. You won't be sorry if you stay here.

Dans les couloirs une pièce sonore de Julien Clauss surprend le voyageur attentif, une projection du photographe Richard Petit illumine le patio. Il y a les pièces pérennes, la première fût une sculpture de12 mètres Franz Stahler que l'on aperçoit au détour d'une rue, et d'autres qui circulent le temps d'une exposition. Plus de 300 artistes ont exposé au Burrhus au cours d 'expositions durant l'année et pendant Supervues. L'Hôtel Burrhus est aussi un véritable hôtel, c'est sa vocation d'accueillir les passagers, avec délicatesse et attention. Bien loin du décor ostentatoire conçu par des décorateurs, le Burrhus est une maison qui vit depuis vingt ans, aux rythmes de ses découvertes artistiques et humaines et souhaite les partager allégrement avec qui s'y arrête. Chaque année, le Burrhus est entièrement transfiguré par des artistes. une métamorphose orchestrée par des galeries et centres d'art complices, Supervues petite surface de l'art contemporain, une manifestation imaginée par Laurence et Jean-Baptiste Gurly, réinvente l'hôtel qui chaque année adopte fièrement une ou deux propositions d'artiste pour augmenter sa collection. Ainsi va la vie de l'hôtel Burrhus, maison d'hôte singulière et chaleureuse, qui peu à peu (mais depuis plus de vingt ans) s'affirme comme laboratoire artistique.

My family and I were spending 2 weeks in France in the Provence region. In our first week in France…read morewe went to Les Florets. Yes, it was a little hard to get to, but it was well worth it. First off, the atmosphere was very relaxing. Next to us, there was a fountain that the waiters and waitresses filled up the buckets that held the wine. It was covered in moss and looked beautiful. We were also covered by trees so it was shady. As we sat down they served us some olives and bread. For the Mise En Bouche (which means "happy mouth" in French), everyone got a sort of salmon soup that was really good. For my first course I got tomatoes 3 ways. It came out different than I thought, it was a soup rather than a platter, but it was still fabulous. My main course was duck with some vegetables. My brother asked for a bite-for-a-bite (something my family does), but I said no, because of how tender and delicious the duck was. Last, but not least was dessert. We all got this really, really good desert. No idea what it was, but it was the best dessert I have had in my 12 years on this earth. It had some chocolate in it and some kind of coffee pudding. Even my dad, whose least favorite thing on earth is coffee, loved it. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone and everyone who is in the immediate vicinity. It was amazing!
