We have just returned from a week in the South of France staying 5 nights in Relais and Chateaux hotels and then 2 blissful nights at La Ribito. What a find! Christine and her husband are superb hosts and Christine's brother is a fine chef (awarded a Michelin star during his time in the UK) producing wonderful food. We stayed... more

We stayed at La Riboto de Taven for two nights on our honeymoon this past July and had a lovely visit. We were fortunate enough to book into one of their two suites which are truly incredible (280 Eu a night). They are built into the rock face of the limestone rock and they have carved out, what is basically,... more

Riboto is the most romantic, most unique wonderful little hideaway we've ever stayed at. It even beat a vineyard we stayed at in Tuscany last year as our new favorite spot! Tucked in a cliff of the Provencial town of Les Baux (about 10 minutes from St-Remy-de-Provence and 30 minutes from Avignon), this "hotel" is truly a gem. With only... more

We recently visited la Riboto de Taven for a part of our honeymoon. The overwhelming impression was that Christine, Phillippe and Jean-Pierre care for their guests: nothing was too much trouble for them. The room (one of the troglodyte ones) was large and well-appointed, breakfasts and dinners were superb, the rrace and surrounding gardens immaculately kept - and all within... more

swarming atop the hill of Les Baux, Riboto de Taven is an excellent choice even if you could care less about the Disneyesque ruins of Les Baux. The hotel is perfect in terms of quiet, comfort, food and design of the garden and I am a tough customer. The location is good for visiting the area and near to St... more

Everything at La Riboto de Taven was even better than expected. We had a marvelous time, and Christine and Philippe couldn't have been more attentive or helpful. One morning Philippe offered to have a Cavaillon melon (that we had bought in Cavaillon, of course) prepared for our breakfast--so thoughtful. "Thoughtful" would be the word I would use to describe the... more

For hotels on our trip to France this year, we relied heavily on Trip Advisor, with great success. But for sure First Place went to the Riboto for the hospitality of the hosts, the comfort of the accommodations, and most especially the food -- the best we had in our two weeks abroad. We echo every positive comment below, this... more

Christine and Philippe make you feel very welcome in this lovely hotel. We stayed in one of the troglodyte suites cut into the rock. The room was very nice but the bathroom could do with some updating. The hotel is a good base from which to go exploring in the region. It wasn't warm enough to swim in the pool... more

Christine and Philippe run the most wonderful hotel and we can not rate it highly enough. It really was like ‘coming home’ with such a warm welcome and you know from the second you talk with the owners, your stay will be relaxing and with no request too much trouble for them. The hotel is in a beautiful setting nestled... more
