Eygalieres Boutique hotel – PERMANENTLY CLOSED

Jardin de Tim, Eygalieres boutique hotel

At Provence Guru we love small hotels that are within walking distance of a town or village. They offer a highly personalised stay, but thanks to their proximity to shops and restaurants need not necessarily have the same level of services as larger hotels.

The Jardin de Tim fits our mould perfectly. It’s near the centre of Eygalieres one of the most delightful Provencal villages. There are five bedrooms and a swimming pool. It’s all been done to the very highest standards, and the value for money compared with larger hotels is favourable.

Hungry or thirsty? There are plenty of bars and restaurants right on your doorstep. Our favourites are Bistrot du Paradou which has a great atmosphere, consistently good bistrot food and the opportunity to celeb spot in the summer and Maison Druout, which in terms of value for money and quality of ingredients is hard to beat. Nearby Saint Remy de Provence offers plenty of restaurant choices.

For vineyards Provence Guru recommends visits to Domaine Vallongue, Domaine Milan and Domaine de Trevallon. Domaine Milan in particular is interesting because of its concentration on natural wines. By using old fashioned fermentation processes they manage to avoid adding sulphur to most of their wines.

Provence Guru recommends Le Jardin de Tim as a wonderful base for a Provencal holiday. Prices start at €210 per night in low season.
