What a fantastic experience! Remi is the perfect host and a very accomplished chef. The setting of the house is superb with distant views towards the coast. The hikes were well thought out and provided panoramic views from the top of the surrounding mountains. The whole experience is well planned from the pick up at Nice airport to the hikes and the visits to local villages and restaurants. The food Remi created was first class-it really is excellent quality and up there with high end restaurants. We were fortunate to meet friendly guests and it felt more like a house party than a hotel. A great experience and highly recommended.

Provençal Adventures was one of the best holidays I’ve ever been on. The villa was beautiful, the hikes were breathtaking, and Remi, our host, was an absolute delight. Everything was perfect, from the moment he collected us at the airport to the thoughtful details that made the experience so special.

When I arrived in my room, there was a handwritten card with my name on it, one of those small, heartfelt touches that made me feel instantly at home.

Remi is a wonderful host and a talented chef. Each day was perfectly planned from scenic hikes and wine tastings to exploring local markets, relaxing at the beach, and swimming by the pool. I loved meeting new people and felt an instant sense of belonging. Remi has this rare gift of making everyone feel included and at ease.

His mother, Ilona, was an added joy, funny, warm, and full of life. Together, they created an atmosphere that was both comforting and inspiring. This retreat was truly beautiful; it felt like a reset for the soul. I left feeling like myself again, restored and deeply grateful.

Thank you, Remi, truly.

'Wow, what an incredible way to spend a week away in the hills of Provence. You instantly realise what makes this a retreat, it's all the extra touches. From the moment we were met at the airport with delicious fresh pastries, to the evening 'apero' before dinner each night. Remi ensures everyone is well taken care of, with personal touches that meet individual requirements and needs. The villa is gorgeous and the hikes mesmerising. The hikes are changed to fit the needs and abilities of the group and with a homemade pack up lunch each day I felt exceptionally well looked after. It is a perfect way to see a lesser known part of France without having to worry about a thing. Thank you for such a special week, I will definitely be returning to explore more of the hikes and adventures you offer.’

I had an amazing week, Remi is a great host with a wonderful attention to detail. Everything was well thought out - the hikes with great views, visit to the winery, delicious and healthy food cooked fresh from the local produce, well chosen wine. Nearby villages that we visited were great too with plenty of culture and history and the restaurants were very well chosen.

Accommodation is modern and well designed, comfortable and spacious rooms with good privacy. Shared facilities in the house are wonderful too with several chill out areas, sun loungers and pool with a great view.

‘Provençal Adventures is one of the very best travel experiences. The accommodation is in well appointed house in a stunning location in Haute Provence. Our host Remi makes everyone feel like a personal friend. He pays excellent attention to the hikes and cultural activities and especially the food. Our group had some dietary intolerances and Remi expertly adapted local Provençal fare. I cannot recommend Provençal Adventures highly enough.’

“Our recent holiday with Provençal Adventures was an ideal mix of guided scenic walking, gourmet home cooked meals, and staying in a beautifully restored stone hillside villa with breathtaking views. What really stood out, though, was the warmth and attention to detail throughout. Nothing felt rushed, it was clear a lot of love and thought goes into everything they do.

Each day we explored off the beaten track routes and charming villages like Seillans, Fayence and Mons, guided by Remi, whose knowledge and enthusiasm brought the region to life. The walks were varied and manageable, with stunning views at every turn.

The food was a real highlight – from relaxed lunches to gourmet dinners and a memorable local wine tour and tasting, everything was fresh, local, and delicious.

The attention to detail and warm hospitality made us feel instantly at home. If you’re looking for an authentic Provençal experience with a perfect balance of activity and indulgence, I can’t recommend Provençal Adventures highly enough.”

“I was apprehensive about the hiking as I have lower back problems and plenty of metal in my knees but Remi very cleverly tailored the hikes so I felt challenged (always in a good way) and never out of my depth. He was always at my side offering encouragement and support. The sense of achievement at the end of each day was enormous! I can’t recommend Provençal Adventures too highly whether you’re an established hiker or a creaky old goat like me!”

"Our trip to the French Riviera was nothing short of magical, and the charming villages of Fayence, Mons, and Seillans stole our hearts. Nestled in the hills, these medieval gems provided the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable adventure. Each village was brimming with history, cobblestone streets, and breathtaking views that seemed to stretch on forever. One of the highlights was our visit to the local market in Fayence, where we discovered an array of fresh produce, local cheeses, and aromatic herbs. Dining at Le France was another unforgettable experience. The restaurant, with its welcoming ambiance and attentive service, offered dishes that were both refined and comforting, showcasing the best of French cuisine.

 The hiking in the region was wild and exhilarating, with trails that led us through rugged terrain and offered panoramic vistas of the surrounding countryside. Each turn brought new and stunning views, making every step feel like a discovery. 

 In every sense, this trip to the French Riviera was an enchanting journey—where history, food, nature, and local culture combined to create an experience we’ll cherish forever.

The host, Remi Dubois, was as welcoming and charming as the French Riviera. We felt at home from the moment we stepped into the spectacular villa. After all the glorious hikes and scenery, indulgent food, and slow strolls round the cobbled streets of Seillans, what better way to end your day drinking a glass of champagne in the swimming pool at sunset overlooking France. Absolutely stunning. “

“My experience with Provençal Adventures was absolutely incredible! Remi’s warm hospitality, the amazing cooking, and deep knowledge of the region made the trip unforgettable. The hikes around Seillans were stunning, offering breathtaking views and a true taste of Provence’s charm. 

The food and wine were highlights - each meal was a delicious celebration of local flavours, paired with fantastic wines. Whether exploring the beautiful countryside or enjoying the great hospitality, every moment was special. 

I can’t recommend Provencal Adventures enough - thank you, Remi, for an amazing getaway!”

"When I think back to my stay at Provençal Adventures, I mainly think about the scenery. It was all just stunning - the mountains, forests and sunsets were, together, picturesque. However, I also think about the epic hikes that Remi took us on, as well as the meals he cooked. Remi made that holiday very special - I came away with a much better insight into French culture and geography than I expected. The house was also fantastic - very spacious, comfortable and equipped with modern technologies. It was a fantastic trip. 

Thanks again Remi!"

"I had a wonderful time at the villa. Remi was the perfect host. In the day, he took us on hikes to hills and mountains with the gorgeous views, and in the evening there were lovingly cooked meals and the most delicious food. I’m vegetarian, and Remi made sure that there were plenty of vegetarian options, made with tasty organic vegetables, so I never felt like I was missing out. After a busy day hiking or sightseeing, it was great to relax by the pool and at night we enjoyed starry skies, from the unrivalled view from the terrace. I really had an idyllic time there and would love to go back. Thanks for everything!”

‘Remi hosted our private group of 6 in mid June for a wonderful week in Haute Provence. Our base a beautifully appointed villa is set in a wild forested area near Seillans. Remi expertly tailored our trip with grace taking into account hot weather, differing abilities and specialized dietary requirements. Hiking hills and gorges, exploring medieval villages and tasting local wine and cheese and eating Remi’s provencal gourmet cooking was a truly immersive and sustainable way of experiencing the real Provence. I would highly recommend this trip.’

We had an amazing six days with Remi and the other hikers. He adapted our itinerary to our differing abilities and injuries. The food was amazing, as were the views from the peaks. I would highly recommend a trip with Remi and Provençal Adventures.

A truly special experience. The beautiful house has magnificent views and comfortable rooms. Remi and Ilona looked after us superbly. Nothing was too much trouble and we were immediately made to feel at home. Some of the hikes were hard in places but so rewarding. Remi was an excellent guide and wonderful host and chef. A swim in the pool, aperitif on the terrace, Michelin standard meals. What more could one ask!
