La Maison du Frene is a gorgeous boutique hotel with gracious hosts who have left no detail unattended. Immaculately clean, beautifully styled, and spacious and comfortable rooms and beds. The hotel is well located and only metres from good bakeries and restaurants. Highly recommended for couples looking for a luxurious, romantic and peaceful stay in a pretty French town. More

First of all, given all of the positive reviews of La Maison du Frene, why write another one? Because such a wonderful guesthouse and its lovely hosts really and truly do exist! Based upon the many positive reviews, we went to La Maison du Frene this past November with very high expectations. Even then, our 3-day stay easily exceeded all... More

La Maison du Frene in Vence is one of our favorite places to stay in France. The owners are absolutely charming and could not be more helpful. The location is ideal across the street from the walled village. And the house is incredibly beautifully furnished. I have never seen so much art in one place outside of a museum! There... More

We stayed here for 6 nights in January 2011. The room was brilliant, spacious, beautifully furnished, excellent fittings. The owners were very friendly and helpful, offering advice and suggestions which were on the mark. The location is perfect, on the edge of the old city, close to several restaurants and easily accessible. The nearby underground parking station was convenient and... More

I always want to know first whether a hotel is in a good location. La Maison du Frene couldn't have been better situated, just at the walls of the old town, close to transport, restaurants and the main town square where the local food and clothing markets are held each morning. I liked Vence, I felt I was tasting a... More

The house is lovely, and the art collection is striking and whimsical. The Pop Art suite was spacious, quiet and well appointed. Breakfast was perfectly French: fresh, delicious and not overwhelming. Thierry and Guy are gracious hosts who helped us choose restaurants and gave us thoughtful recommendations for planning our days in Vence and the surrounding area. We would be... More

Stayed at Maison du Frene for two nights at the end of June. It is a lovely little B&B in Vence, located right next to the entrance of the old village. There's more art in every spot of this B&B than your eye can possibly take in. Guy and Thierry obviously love the place and have put a lot of... More
