What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“What a beautiful place to discover. Stayed here on a last minute overnight trip - it is a gem of a place. Beautiful house, beautiful room, lovely little touches made it feel very chic. Friendly staff and a beautiful breakfast in a lovely setting. Thank you we loved our short stay with you.”
“Delicious food, doggy friendly, excellent service, an incredible wine list and an interesting menu. This is my third time eating at Villa Lorenzo and I will definitely come back again and again. The menu changes every few weeks, centred around local, seasonal produce. I really appreciate always having the option of a vegetarian starter and main course, along with a chocolate dessert. Thank you to Clothilde and and her team for your attention to detail, welcoming ambiance and amazing food!”
“We only had a dining experience. Great menu and wines. Products are very good quality and chosen with much attention. Menu is original and gastronomical.”
“We were there for Christmas for a few days. We were filled with admiration for the young lady who runs the establishment. She does an astonishing job with the rooms, the restaurant, and the service. We’ll be coming again!”
“Best upscale restaurant in Barcelonnette with great food, friendly service and a great wine list. Recommended.”
“The two Austrian girls had a fabulous time on the third floor of Villa Lorenzo. We loved to soak in the free standing tub while the stars were looking in through the windows in the roof. Dining was out of this world. Working out in the front yard was fun. We felt welcome through and through. Thank you!”
