Hotel Gounod
About
Hotel Gounod, located in the picturesque village of Saint‑Remy‑de‑Provence, harks back to its origins as an authentic 18th‑century postal relay that inspired composer Charles Gounod to write the opera « Mireille » in 1863. The hotel seamlessly blends historic charm with contemporary elegance, featuring a range of rooms—from cosy classic doubles to romantic garden suites—each finished with tasteful décor and modern amenities. Visitors can unwind on the peaceful garden terrace, enjoy a refreshing swim in the 12‑metre crystal‑clear pool, or sip handcrafted cocktails in the lounge bar that offers local wines and a relaxed piano backdrop. With attentive staff, a hearty breakfast served from 7:30 am to 10:30 am, and a central location near the village’s church, Hotel Gounod creates an unforgettable Provençal stay for families, couples, history lovers, and solo travelers alike.
