What a wonderful find! I almost feel I shouldn't write a review as lots of people will read how fantastic it is and book it up so that it will be full next time we want to go!

The rooms are lovely and simple and the Blue Room was large, comfortable, light and airy. A complimentary bottle of wine was in our room on arrival too which was a great touch.

Breakfasts were amazing and full of all sorts of local and homemade produce. Lizzie gets up at what seems like the crack of dawn (still dark!) and potters off to walk the dogs, then shops for all the goodies for that day's guests to devour.

I certainly didn't feel as though I was being watched whilst eating and Lizzie is an exempliary host making sure that we all had full cups of tea, coffee, orange juice and plates full to bursting the whole time!

Not sure what was meant in a previous review about re-cycled breakfast - I think they must have meant that left overs get re-cycled to the chickens (I am hoping to come back as one of Lizzie and Ali's chickens of course now I know just what they get, lucky hens!).

What is lovely too is if you have a cup of tea in the afternoon Lizzie offers any sticky buns left over from breakfast to eat with it! This is a great way of re-cycling and I'm all for that as well even if the chickens do miss out on occasion!

All in all a wonderful stay for 2 weary UK B&B'ers who, having just done from January to September were extremely glad that someone else was preparing the breakfast and looking after us for a change!

Don't hesitate to book Le Couvent, you will not be disappointed I can assure you!

Having spent 4 nights here in early September and being well travelled myself . (no stranger to overnight stays worldwide)
I cannot praise Le Couvent highly enough , it was excellent from first minute to last ..

Lovely breakfasts .... and the accomodation was first class (blue room) .. and I suspect the other rooms are superior !!

Outstanding retreat for the jaded and discerning traveller! The warm welcome from Ali and Liz made me realise I had made the right choice.
There is an intimacy here, both in the airy and clean bedroom and in the stylish renovation of the house. Decorated in in a simple Provencal manner, but with a sense of luxury in the rich fabrics, original art works and photographs than made me feel at ease with an inspirational range of books and web available. A pleasing Mediterranean garden with shady arbours for dozing and an ample pool for zing before a short drive to Pezanas for a good lunch.

Liz and Ali are most accomodating in their advice and friendship and truly enjoy what they do. Breakfast is of a range and quality that defeated me after a few days, but Liz is on hand to satisfy desires with boiled eggs from her brown hens. Good memories and a place to return to.

Staying at Le Couvent can only be described as a most wonderful experience, which would totally satisfy even the most discerning of travellers. From the moment we stepped through the gate, full of anticipation, we were thrilled with everything, which all began with a very very warm welcome to this beautiful home, and captivating garden. The spaciousness, comfort of the beds and rooms, magnificent breakfasts, and many varied areas, inside and out, in which to sit and read, sunbathe, picnic, (tasting delicious cherry tomatoes on the vine), or ponder, all made our week, in this haven of peace and tranquillity , unbeatable. Lizzie and Ali, the delightful hostesses, have the perfect balance of warmth and friendliness without intrusion, and never tired of offering their expert advice on things to do. We explored some of the many fascinating places within easy driving distance, and then in the evening the happy "home-coming", a stroll in the vineyards, to friendly greetings from neighbours, and at dusk sipping wine under the candle-lit tree to chat over the day's adventure. Le Couvent has a very very special feel, and as we eagerly anticipate our return we recall our reluctant departure - when looking up to savour the last glimpse we captured the Madonna bathed in the glorious golden glow of the autumn dawn - one more magical moment in a heavenly week.

I found this 300yr old small crumbling convent sympathetically and tastefully converted to B&B to be a perfect balance of terrifically welcoming holiday retreat, home for 11 days and charming company when needed. Our hosts, Lizzie and Ali are totally yummy and helpfulness itself. Our room was attractive, spotless and very comfortable with no irritating snags at all (unusual in my experience) and the paintings and many shelves of assorted reading greatly added to my sense of well being. With mountains and sea and interesting towns nearby, it was a particularly exquisite pleasure to sit on Mother Superiors balcony sipping aperitifs and one I think I could not tire of, before strolling to the local Cafe (not haute cuisine but who cares, there is plenty not far away) and observing the real life of unpretentious Roujan. Often the pluses are very simple like being able to make yourself a drink in the great kitchen - an unusually tranquil and pleasing place to find oneself in alone. Breakfasts here are a feast of fresh fruit and baked things and friendly conversation. The pool is beautfully clean, fresh and nicely situated at the top end of the terraced garden, that bit nearer to heaven! This is a special place spilling over with warmth, humour, grace and generosity and it is hard to imagine anyone being untouched by it. Looking forward to our return.
