La Maison Sur la Sorgue - Esprit de France

I cannot say enough about this gem of a hotel and Frédéric, where we had a lovely stay in L’Isle Sur la Sorgue. We felt so taken care of the whole time! From the glasses of delicious rosé to the exquisite breakfast to a pot of chamomile tea waiting for us when we returned from a dinner in Gordes. It felt like a little guest house with a sophisticated air. Frédéric even jumped into our car when we arrived to help us navigate to the hotel, then parked our car for us too! The location is perfect! We walked out our door directly into the Sunday market, and everything else is walking distance including the famous antique fair. You’re so close to everything that you might have to close the windows at night due to revealers at the wine bar down the street, but the sound is immediately blocked and I assure you you will have an excellent sleep here. The decor is beautiful and interesting, collected by the owners in large part from their travels in Asia. There are also lots of beautiful items you can purchase in their shop and have shipped home to you. If you’re looking for something unique I would recommend La Maison very highly. You will be so well taken care of!

This was a unique experience - the hotel itself (17th century mention), the decor and atmosphere and most importanlty sevice and attention by Frederic (who was fantastic). We stayed for 5 days and enjoyed every bit of it. It was almost like visitng your French ancle !!

My husband and I had the most wonderful weekend, staying at this most welcoming, special and unique hotel. Our host was extremely knowledgeable about the area and nothing was too much trouble. The best restaurant reservations were made for us. The breakfast was delicious, sat in the beautiful courtyard garden. The attention to detail was impeccable. Thank you- we’ll definitely return to your wonderful home.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at this unique boutique hotel. From the very beginning, Frederic greeted me on the phone with warmth and familiarity, then guided us through the back roads of the town to the front door of this remarkable jewel of a place; right in the heart of everything, yet with a unique blend of private sanctuary, artist haven, and upsc mansion, making it a blend of the ancient in the contemporary. As art collectors, who have also curated and magnificent gallery and shop, the interior is tastefully appointed with art and sculpture from all corners of the world , and then ambience extends to the peaceful back patio, complete with a small pool bordered with bamboo and meditating Buddhas. A wonderful place to unwind at the end of a hot summer day at the market. Frederic is a magnificent host, and every morning welcomed us with a full breakfast, and plenty of suggestions for how to fill our days enjoying the many offerings of the area. Do yourself a favor and book a room at this magnificent boutique hotel.

What a beautiful surprise to arrive at La Maison sur la Sorgue to enjoy the outstanding hospitality of fredrick and surround ourselves with the beauty and charm of this wonderful hotel. Having worked for the Disney organization for many years, I know the importance of attention to detail, and this lovely establishment creates it at every return. You are surrounded by beautiful, art, and antiques, the rooms are comfortable with special touches everywhere. The outdoor patio with a garden swimming pool is the perfect Zen respite after a busy day. We were also served a lovely continental breakfast with the extra touch of sugar cubes shaped like hearts! We certainly left part of our heart here, and will gladly return whenever the opportunity arises! I

We stayed 3 nights and this place was an absolute gem! Frederic was a wonderful host- from before we arrived he was taking care of us-he ensured we made it into town without a problem. The decor was beautiful and the breakfast was excellent. if you get a chance to stay at the wonderful inn do not hesitate- my favorite place in 🇫🇷

No atmosphere in this place because very few rooms, looks a lot like a guest house than a hotel, we only saw the owner. Generally in a hotel we come to a lot of customers in order to be able to discuss but there we only saw Frederik the owner, our room was large but no minibar and difficult to obtain a complete darkness during the night

For our Christmas holidays this year, we took a trip to France and stayed in a variety of hotels, 7 in total. As we moved from hotel to hotel, there were certain things we focused on the most so I decided to rate them at each hotel. For Maison sur la Sorgue: Bathroom (weather had a shower) – our room only had a bathtub with a spout that flew everywhere. It was a huge mess to bathe. Lobby – The hotel (really more like a bed and breakfast) is housed in an old villa so the building is beautiful. Location in the city or town – Great location right in the heart of town, driving there is not for the faint of heart though because the streets are so narrow n the area where the hotel is located. Size of room – Decent Breakfast – Good Elevator (was there one?) – No Ambiance - We loved the old villa feel but the hotel is truly more like an American bed and breakfast concept. There are 5 rooms, and I only ever saw Frederick, the owner, working as well as one housekeeper. Frederick was so nice, but there are weird rules like no food in the rooms (I have never stayed at any hotel that does not allow food in the rooms. Ever.) No mini-fridges etc. It is not your usually hotel experience. Lighting- there was hardly any lighting at all. Night in the room was very difficult. This town was one of my favorite stops and we just loved it. But after 6 more hotels, this one definitely did not live up to the rest of the places we stayed.
