Perfect Honeymoon

"We spent 4 nights at Le Lavandin on our honeymoon and it was completely amazing! Le Lavandin is the most beautiful place we have ever stayed. Everything was perfect- our room was great and had a huge balcony, the breakfast was delicious, and the gardens and pool were amazing for relaxing around the impeccable property. Georgia is the most welcoming special woman, and her dog Utah is a very sweet dog. Georgia gave us recommendations and made reservations for us at delicious restaurants. The location of Le Lavandin is great for exploring beautiful villages. We didn't want to leave and will definitely go back to Le Lavandin the next time we have the opportunity to go to France! Stay here! You'll love it!"

Just outstanding!!

"The words 'superb in every way' spring to mind. On arrival we were met by the owner Georgia and her dog Utah (who I must admit I wanted to smuggle into my suitcase!!)
We were given a warm welcome and immediately shown our accommodation and all the facilities that La Lavandin offered which were stunning in every way.
Oh the breakfast!! This is a gastronomique delight - not only was it either home grown, but presented with narrative and an insight into local specialities - all served on beautiful china typical of provence. We have now nicknamed Georgia the Martha Stewart of Provence!! Her zest for life is inspirational and I would not hesitate to go back to spend more time at this delightful retreat. I most certainly have no reservations in recommending La Lavandin to everyone who can appreciate the amount of work, love and attention that she has put into everything. We look forward to a return visit."

Loved, loved, loved Le Lavandin!

"From the beautiful grounds to the relaxing environment, to the wonderful breakfasts served al fresco each day, Le Lavandin was a real find. Our party of two couples thoroughly enjoyed the entire week we spent there recently. It was really almost a vacation from the vacation! Georgia, the American innkeeper, has created such a lovely guesthouse in the country, and graciously helps make reservations for dinners, wine tours as well as suggestions for daytrips. Even with all that was available nearby, (Avignon, Ile sur la Sorgue, Gorde) it was great spending at least one day on the property just winding down. Wish we could make it an annual trip!"

Absolutely divine... Look no further!

"Ah Le Lavandin... We are just back from the most perfect two week trip to Paris, Pernes Les Fontaine and Lago Maggiore in Switzerland. This trip has been in the planning for the past eight years and the only thing i would change would be more nights at Le Lavandin (We were there for three nights and i could have stayed a month!!!)

Swimming in the pool after a busy day exploring the many wonderful sights of Provence, playing petanque while enjoying a wine before dinner, dinner cooked by us in the outdoor kitchen and eaten in the beauty of the garden two nights in a row because we just wanted to make the most of this beautiful setting, breakfast each morning in the garden... So many favourites. And then there is Georgia!!! Thank you so much Georgia for sharing your beautiful home with us. We will definitely be back one day!!!"

Wonderful oasis

"I just came back from 4 nights at Le Lavandin and already look forward to going back again. The service, place and atmosphere was wonderful.

Georgia (the owner) welcomes you in a very personal manner and takes care of you as you would be a close friend. Breakfast is served outside in the beautiful garden where you have some time to sit and talk to the other guests and Georgia on what to do for the day or evening. Georgia is great and helps you with everything from booking a table at a restaurant to making sure that you have a map in your hand when you leave for the day.

The place - which deserve a little note on its own - is just wonderful. There are 4 rooms and 1 studio, all naturally decorated with everything you need but nothing more. The place is made for total relaxation even though there is free wi-fi in the whole house in case you need it.

Only tip I can give is to make sure that you have a car when you stay at Le Lavandin (it is 3,5 km to nearest village) and make sure you stay long enough to have time to relax at the B&B itself, because it is a place where time stops and you can really enjoy just being..."

"We stayed in Le Lavandin first in 2008, we returned in 2009 and we can’t wait to return this summer. Its easy to return to stay in this charming, magical place. From the moment we first arrived it was a absolute delight, its comfortable, charming, elegant and it has a winning combination of fabulous location and superb hospitality. Lets talk about the hospitality first – Georgia is a very special, warm, happy and interesting lady, who will bend over backwards to make sure your stay is memorable. Wonderful breakfast to start the day – delicious and such variety! – served in the beauty of the garden. Georgia knows all the best places to eat, all the best places to visit, and you won’t get lost if you follow her directions!! She will spend time with you planning your days wanting you to get the very most from your stay. Grant yourself a moment of peace and sit in the garden. What else can we say? Make sure you take a wine trip with Olivier from Wine Uncovered - you will see some stunning vineyards and taste amazing wine. Georgia can arrange this for you.

We fell in love with Provence , with Le Lavandin and with Utah and you will too. We return home rested and relaxed with a wonderful feeling of wellbeing. Magnifique!"

"We spent a week at Le Lavandin in early May and found it to be as lovely as we had hoped from your description in Karen Brown’s France B&B: beautiful grounds bursting with flower gardens, olive trees, lavender, and the biggest, most incredible roses we’ve ever seen. Our second-floor room with patio/veranda had great views of the countryside. The guest house was immaculate, tastefully decorated and filled with books and flowers. There are many places to relax throughout the property among the gardens on patios, verandas, by the pool. Le Lavandin’s owner Georgia knows Provence well and helped us plan our sightseeing excursions and map out our itineraries. Her suggestions as to which markets to visit, places to see, restaurants to eat at were so valuable and appreciated. The location is convenient to all of Provence and provides a good base for touring/day tripping, or, if you want, just relaxing."

"Owner, Georriga Perrin is the consummate hostess and her joie de vivre is contagious! Le Lavandin is the perfect combination of impeccable details, unique luxury and cozy warmth. The rooms are works of art, exquisitely appointed from the lovely linens to the spectacular views. The amazing and delicious breakfast at Le Lavandin feels like a legendary fête. We enjoyed exploring the incredibly beautiful landscape and surrounding areas - to be sure, magic and mystery can be found in the ancient villages of the Luberon and the Vaucluse. Georgia is delightfully helpful and knowledgeable about where to go and what to see, providing fantastic suggestions and maps! Being at Le Lavandin for The French Chef's Week was an experience of a lifetime that exceeded all my expectations and not to be missed by anyone in love with cooking and French cuisine! We will most assuredly return to Le Levandin, a wonderful place I now call heaven on earth."

"It is very hard to decide whether this beautiful inn, its grounds or your hostess,Georgia, is the most sensational. I think we would have to vote for Georgia--the perfect hostess, this lovely lady combines impeccable taste, a fabulous flair and exceptional intelligence with warmth and charm. Every inch of Le Lavendin reflects these qualities. The pool and grounds are magnificent (even with the lavender no longer in bloom) and the guest house is worthy of being featured in design magazines (as it is). The setting is beautiful, the nearby towns of Perne-la-Fontaine and Isle sur la Sorgue are all one could wish for in the way of charming Provencal villages--including wonderful food. But I would go back just for the breakfasts--the fabulous table settings, eating beneath the spreading branches of a centuries old tree, Georgia/s company and the unbelievable food. Trust me--the walnut bread French toast is, as Michelin would say, worth the journey.

The rooms, the views, the beautiful guest house sitting room are all spectacularly attractive. Two minor quibbles--the bathroom in "the studio" where we stayed is tiny--however it is beautifully designed and equipped and its size was no problem. There is no housekeeping service provided during your stay, though as we two couples were the only guests, Georgia was more than happy to provide same for us--graciously, in addition to providing other special help and touches. Location is wonderful with the entire Luberon and Valcluse incredibly close by. I hesitate to let the secret of this amazing place out but I am counting on Georgia to have room for us when we return."

"A wonderful B&B. The accomodations are first rate as is the owner Georgia Perrin and her dog Utah. The property is charming with breakfast (scrumptious) served outdoors. The rooms are spacious and charming. Georgia is remarkable for her accomplishments as well as her guidance in exploring Provence. Of all the places we stayed throughout France, Le Lavandin was the crème de la creme."
