Coming to a “Maison d’Hôtes” is like coming to a home where friends or family welcome you. Sometimes, it is mistaken for “Chambre d’hôtes “(the regular B&B) or “gites”(holiday cottages or apartments), but our difference lies in our warm and truly genuine hospitality.

Although the comfort of our accomodations is similar to that of a hotel, the big difference of the Maison d’Hôtes lies in the friendly relationship that develops between the guest and his host who is always available and ready to be of assistance. This is especially important as our guests are often looking for this atmosphere of conviviality, authenticity, closeness and quiet.

The Maison d’Hôtes provides the warmth and friendliness that allow the guests to let go of their worries and enjoy this special moment to relax and have a good time.

For this is the true meaning of our Maison dHôtes : to welcome you like a friend, not just to provide a room, and to make you discover and share all that’s special to our region : its culture, gastronomy, heritage, in short : the “Art of Living “ in the Provence.

The “Maison d’Hôtes du Var en Provence” for that’s the name of our label, is a group of hosts in the Var dedicated to providing a special welcome to all those who come to our region, and to share our values and traditions with them.

In addition to our warm and generous hospitality, the “Association des Maison d’Hôtes du Var en Provence” and its members also offer “special holidays”organised around cultural or recreational activities.
How about a course in olive growing, learning everything from picking the fruit to tasting the virgin olive oil at the mill, a cooking course where you’ll discover the real provençal cuisine, a course on how to make jams or foie gras, a course on wine tasting, or maybe some artistic or sports activities?
Whatever your choice, it will be a pleasure for your hosts to organise some special and original activity allowing you at the same time to discover and share their passions.

If you are looking for a warm welcome and true hospitality in a place reflecting the genuine regional spirit, a stay at our “Maisons d’Hôtes” will offer unforgettable moments of pleasure and happiness.
