What can I say....this is by the far the best B&B/guest house that we have ever stayed in. It beats all hotels too! It is the type of place that makes you keep smiling - the warm welcome from Isabelle and Philipe, the beautifully designed rooms, the peace and tranquility of the garden and the wonderful food. We made the best decision by choosing to eat at the house rather than go into Orange - even though Philipe was more than willing to arrange a booking for us. The food was wonderful and the setting was incredible - dinner is served on a small terrace in the garden underneath olive trees.
After a long car journey we were given refreshments upon arrival and then given a tour of the facilities. The outdoor pool and jacuzzi were great - just what you need in soaring temperatures - and the indoor pool was under construction but nearly finished.
Isabelle and Philipe have really created the most ideal location in order to relax and enjoy the local area and culture. Next time we'll definately be staying a bit longer!

My husband and I and our best friends have just returned from our dream French holiday to celebrate our 40th birthdays(the wives that is) I researched the trip for a year, and the other three put their faith in my choice of places to stay and see. Well this beautiful place was a real win and as a fussy traveller I can say there was not a single thing negetive about our four days here. I wont repeat the reviews before me but please read them as they detail exactly what you will find.

Being an interior designer I did not want to stay in a sterile airconditioned starched sheets hotel. This is just the opposite. The decorating skill and attention to detail is incredible in a homely, messy way. Nothing posed.... but everything in the right place to give an overall incredibly talented end result.

I wanted to experience how the local people would live and this accomodation allows you to do that. Isabelle and Phillip have a passion for their surroundings that is so infectious it makes one want to sell up and move to France.

Make sure you take their advise on where to go and to eat. Especially Chez Shez in Capentas was amazing.

I wont ramble on but full colours to a family that deserve to be famous one day for what they have achieved.

Hope to see you soon Philipe and Isabelle

We just spent 3 days at the wonderful home/bed and breakfast hotel of Phillipe and Isabelle just outside Orange, France. The accomodations are delightful, the scenery very provencial, and the family warm and gracious. They were just finishing up a lovely pool, and accomodations for larger groups, complete with your own kitchen. Our meals were perfect, and there were lots of recommendations for visits to the Rhone Valley wineries and villages surrounding Orange. A wonderful, warm family setting.

Once you have stayed at Justin de Provence you will understand that the words, which follow, will always fall short.

Following two years of hard work, driven by their vision and devotion, Isabelle and Philippe have created the most exquisite home. Seeking out antiques from the surrounding areas, the house is furnished perfectly. Attention to detail is an understatement, dried flowers, delicate pottery and embroidered fabrics ensure the bedrooms captivate you with their charm.

Philippe’s infectious passion for the ‘Real’ Provence, especially the food, wine and people, easily seduces you. At times when Philippe speaks, I’m sure you can see his heart full of love for the subject he is describing. Supporting Philippe’s flair is Isabelle’s elegance. Isabelle greets you every morning with a wonderful French breakfast. Tea, hot chocolate, fresh bread and croissants, home-made jam and freshly squeezed orange juice. All the little details of the décor have the touch of Isabelle, from the dried flowers placed around the house to the selection of the wonderful plates and pottery which were made by one of Isabelle’s friends.

With a seemingly endless number of contacts, reservations at delectable restaurants or trips to vineyards are easily within reach. Suggestions for villages near and far to visit or routes to follow for astounding scenery can all be provided.

For ten years, Philippe and Isabelle ran a successful restaurant. If you get the chance, try and eat at the house. During my stay we ate along with eleven other guests for my mother in laws 60th birthday. We were treated to a fanfare of fish dishes, which tantalised my tastebuds! Complimenting the food were wines from around the region, which gave us the chance to be educated in the art of wine tasting.

The farmhouse also boasts a swimming pool, jacuzzi, fitness room and steam room so you can burn off some energy and relax completely in the peaceful surroundings.

My trip is an experience, which I know I will never forget and that is due to the special ambience created by Isabelle and Philippe.

The secret is out. This undiscovered renovated farmhouse will soon become one of the most sought after accommodations in Provence. The flawless host couple make you feel like the most important guests and it’s this personable feel which will ensure continued success for years to come.
