Le Mas de Peint - Hôtel et Restaurant

This lovely hotel is part of a working farm which has bulls and horses alongside growing rice and barley. The original farmhouse has been converted into a very comfortable hotel with a swimming pool located in a very tranquil garden space. We arrived on a Monday and as the hotel restaurant does not open on Mondays (we were made aware of this when we booked) we brought a picnic supper which we enjoyed on the room’s terrace. There was so much bird life around the hotel it was a joy just sitting there taking it all in. We stayed for four nights to explore the Camargue. In order to get our bearings and learn a little of the area we had booked a Jeep Safari which was offered by the hotel. We had a most interesting and engaging tour with Richard and learnt lots about the area, the estate and it’s farming activities. The next day we went off exploring on the hotel’s bikes which was a great way to see the area and wildlife and thankfully the roads did not have too much vehicular traffic on them. At our first breakfast we met Axel who was looking after breakfast service. He was very engaging and offered us lots of helpful tips and pointers. He also made a bold claim that the chef was extremely good and we would have an amazing evening meal. Well, he was not wrong. We had three fantastic dinners at the hotel. It is a set menu and there is no choice however, there didn’t need to be a choice. From the first amuse bouche we were blown away with the food. On our first night the chef (sorry I didn’t get your name) came to each table and took the time to chat which we really appreciated. All in all a great hotel and hopefully we will return one day.

Wonderfully unpretentious estate welcomes you and your family into their home and grants guests the opportunity to explore the Camargue region as well as life on an active cattle ranch. The spaces are humble and welcoming, and grant you the space to rediscover nature and the time to remember the importance of roots.
