When my parents told me "We are going to open a B&B", it was an evidence!
My mom is the best hostess, she knows what french hospitality means.
In addition of being a good hostess, she is a great decorator and also a very good cook. She has handled each part of the house, from the bedroom to the garden and the kitchen with meticulous attention to detail.
The B&B is called "La Bastide d'Eyragues en Provence". The B&B is a traditional house from Provence with an amazing view to the Alpilles (a small range of mountains). The B&B is located in Eyragues, 5min drive to Saint Rémy de Provence and 15min to Avignon. The garden showcases a swimming pool and a beautiful landscape with olive trees, lavender, rosemary, oak, cypress and white bay trees. All the scents of Provence.
The B&B offers several rooms. The rooms are welcoming, comfortable and offering a lovely view to the garden and the swimming pool. The cosy and quiet rooms come with a queen bed, complimentary breakfast, wifi internet access, and a private bathroom.
Every morning the breakfast is served on the terrace or in the living room with the view to the Alpilles. You will be able to taste some Mariage Frères tea, organic coffee, homemade jams and cakes, fresh fruits and squeezed jus and of course some fresh baguette. The food is from seasonal, local organic products.
The B&B offers a "Table d'hôtes", meaning an homemade dinner served at the table with my parents and of course cooked from scratch by my mom.
For 35€ you can enjoy a 3 course meal with drinks (water/soft/wine) and coffee/tea.
Here are some examples of the dinner "Saveurs de Provence" served with wine from Baux de Provence or Côte de Provence or Côte du Rhône.
