LA GUILDE DES BATISSEURS

We had a wonderful stay at Domaine de La Xavolière. The surroundings are beautifully peaceful and perfect for relaxing. The hosts were very friendly and attentive, and everything was clean and thoughtfully arranged. We especially enjoyed the lovely atmosphere, the nature, and the warm hospitality. We would happily come back and highly recommend this beautiful place!

We had our honeymoon here, for 1 week, and had the best time we could have asked for! |The domaine is wonderfully located just 3km from the small but magical hilltop village of Cabris. Cabris had good casual dining spots as well as two fancier restaurants with very good food. ||Stéphanie was an amazing host. Each morning she would recommend local trips and was always happy to chat (in French or English) and tell us more about the area/the home. Our day trips included the Lac de Saint Cassien, Nice, Tourettes-sur-Loup and Valbonne (lovely market on Fridays). She also has 2 e-bikes which are free and available to use whenever! Cycles to Cabris and Saint Césaire are doable and has great views. |Our highlights included the exquisite breakfasts, as pictured, and the peaceful pool area. Everyone has access to a shared kitchen which meant we could have easy lunches or dinners at the property. We didn’t see the other guests too much and often had the pool/seating areas to ourselves! |Despite the heat outside and no AC, we found that the room kept cool but there was a ceiling fan when necessary. ||Our only word of warning is that the dirt track that leads to the property is rather bumpy and narrow - so it takes time in the car. Also a car is pretty much necessary here.

The property is simply stunning, like in the movies. The view from the pool is breathtaking. Both the exterior and interior of the property are carefully designed with high attention to detail, everything exceeded our expectations, materials of the highest quality were used to create the French countryside effect (but definitely not over the top/forced). The place is perfect for a relaxing stay as there is no hustle and bustle (far from traffic), and the only thing you can hear is the birds and the forest around you. Equally, it's at a very good distance from every bigger city you might want to visit on the French Riviera. The house can accommodate 5 couples at the same time, which means you feel instantly cared for, it has a very intimate setting. The room was always kept very clean and the toiletry products are from local businesses. Stephanie (host) is super friendly and exceptionally helpful in providing you with recommendations for your travel/stay (restaurants nearby, markets to visit, routes to take to places, etc.). The breakfast was always excellent, the eggs were from her chickens freshly served every day. We spent 7 nights at Domaine de la Xavolière and every day was marvelous, we cannot recommend it enough. It goes without saying that we will be back!

My stay at stephanie was the best I've ever had. Everything in the hotel was just right from the start, from the wonderful breakfast to the great ambience and the stylish and clean room to stephanie herself. She was incredibly helpful and open and really made you feel at home. I will definitely come back here!

A timeless place!☺️ I highly recommend this magical interlude nestled in nature. Perfect for a few mother/daughter days to enjoy the peace and quiet and recharge your batteries! Stéphanie and Olivier are so welcoming, the rooms are super clean and the decor is magnificent! I'll be back FOR SURE!

A very beautiful property in an exclusive and more importantly a unique location! La Xavolière really exceeded all our expectations. If you have plans to visit Provence and the area surrounding Nice, this is the ideal place to use as a base. Our rooms were beautiful and very comfortable and our delicious breakfast prepared with organic products of the property. We could also not dream of more welcoming hosts! We definitely be back soon.

Amazing experience in this gorgeous property located in the heart of the countryside with a peaceful and breathtaking view on mountains. Rooms are beautifully designed and Stéphanie is very attentive and helpful with her guests. We highly recommend this haven of peace to rest and to discover the south of France.

We had the most amazing time here. Very calming and relaxing. Everything is decorated and designed with so much taste and attention to every last detail. And the hosts are the cherry on the cake. We felt so welcome and taken care of. Thank you and we will definitely come back ☺️
