Review 1：Absolutely charming guest house with the very best hosts. The art and furniture are incredibly well done. It is located in the old section and easy to walk to everything. Our hosts helped us with the parking and our suitcases. Just a wonderful 3 day visit
Review 2：Loved the generous space, the interior design and fun (but intimate) feel of the place. Loved the hosts - they always had the best advice and recommendations!
Review 3：Never have we met more charming hosts making every effort to have our experience perfect. The Maison's decorations should be in Architecture Digest with eclectic and riotous color that make every space a feast for the eyes. I love this place!!!!

Review 7：This unique historic hotel takes your breath away! Filled to the brimwith colourful eclectic paintings and fascinating, humorous objectsd'art - you will wish you could explore all the rooms! Breakfastwas served on beautifully laid tables which you shared with otherguests. The owners were helpful, friendly and charming. Vance is abeautiful and real French town, not just a tourist attraction. We willdefinitely return!
Review 8：decor and art were fantastic - a modern art lover's paradise Our room (Andy Warhol) was superb - much more space than a hotel room and beautifully decorated Hosts gave excellent, tailored advice
Review 9：Rooms can be noisy if windows are opened. No problem for us, but if you have big luggages, stairs up the rooms could be a problem.
Review 10：Great location (near everything) and tastefully decorated rooms (felt like staying in a museum). Good selection of amenities and hosts are helpful with travel tips (trust them with you day-trips).
Review 11：Spacious suite, beautifully furnished and decorated. Colorful, fun explosion of art throughout the restored historic house, right in the middle of vieux Vence. Well tended by helpful owners.

Review 27：When I booked this small little hotel I was already so excited, anticipating it to be one of the highlight hotels of our trip to southern France - already bummed that our plans would only let us stay 1 night - it was so like the pictures but much better in person - the attention to detail,the spacious size of the suites, the quality of the fabrics, the incredible eclectic collection of art enhancing every space- it is obviously a lifetime passion of theirs and it shows - and best of all they are so present and willing to share it and tell the stories and background of each piece - we are so sorry they are so far away from California ! Can't wait to send along friends and family...
Review 28：I only stayed for a day at the Maison du Frene and wish I could have stayed for a week! The place is magical, pictoresque yet design ... Fun deco, warm staff. The owner is such a fun and welcoming person. You just feel happy to be there. A real treat! I recommend the Maison warmly and... I intend to be back!!! המקום פשוט קסם - אין דברים כאלה... מיוחד, שונה, הבעל הבית חם ומגניב. החדרים מאוד גדולים ומפנקים!!! לא להסס!!!!
Review 29：Owners are great and very helpful, rooms are large and beds extremely comfortable. Great location close to everything in town and a great base to explore the surrounding mountains.
Review 30：loved everything!
Review 31：Incredible decor. Perfect hosts. Amazing location. Spacious and luxurious room. Stylish and unique accomodation and the very best care from Guy and Thierry made this one of the best hotels ever stayed in.
Review 32：The rooms were very comfortable and the decoration in the whole place was amazing, it needs to be seen to appreciate the effort that has been put into the place. The two owners both speak excellent english and nothing was too much trouble for them, they served an excellent breakfast and asked us about our plans, they then offered local advise on what to do and when which was very useful.
Review 33：Fabulous arty homely spot, I would return to tomorrow.
