“A family run hotel steeped in history. Unpretentious style and service lay the set for legendary art work including Picasso and Matisse. The Provençale cuisine is worthy of a visit alone and served in a laid back atmosphere. A truly unique property. 3 night min in high season”

The Artful Lodgers
"A rustic, family-run inn once favored by the likes of Picasso and Matisse, La Colombe d’Or in Provence still offers simple country pleasures — albeit amidst some of the world’s most iconic masterworks, casually bestowed by its famous guests."

La Colombe d'Or Hotel
"La Colombe d’Or combines the French charm of a countrified, family-run auberge in the Riviera hills with a priceless collection of art so extraordinary it could hang in the Tate Modern."
