We had a very pleasant stay at this B&B. Harald and Joel were very nice hosts and their property definitely had us feeling we were in the French countryside. The rooms were very clean and a good size, the common areas were well appointed (although we weren't around to use them much), and the grounds were nicely maintained. It was... More

We would warmly recommend this B&B to couples looking for a hideaway to spend a few tranquil summer days in the Provence (dpt 83 Var to be specific). The hosts, Harald and Joël, clearly made a lot of efforts (and still do) to run a charming B&B and to run it efficiently. We appreciated their friendliness, the cleanliness of the... More

My partner and I stayed with Harald and Joel for a total of 5 night from July 2 - 7, 2011. We arrived rather late on a Friday night, due to difficulty in securing a rent car in Marseilles, but were greeted warmly by Joel. He introduced us to his partner Harald who spoke "better English" then he did (which... More

a very good hide away in the rugged hill tops of the aix. A great location for exploring the province so long as you have a good map at hand. Very immaculate but still able to feel at home. The views are fantastic and the photos do not do the place as much justice as it deserves because it really... More

Les Bastide des Templiers is a relaxing oasis in southern France and perfect for those with a car who want to explore Provence. Most attractions are within a two hour drive from the B&B which is a 10 min drive off a major highway yet feels like a million miles from everything. The hosts were warm and welcoming and keep...

We enjoyed our stay a lot, a bit away from the busy area with lovley surrundings and the smell of Provence from all the herbs and lavendel around the house. If you like to relax after a busy day you can take a rest in the sun chairs and a swim in the pool. Perfect spot for sightseeing around Provence... More

Hosts Harald and Joel have a beautiful property and endeavor to provide the best experience possible for their guests. Everything from clear instructions to getting to the property as well as the great amenities made our weeks' stay one to remember.

Peace & Tranquility is what you find in La Bastide des Templiers guesthouse in Bras. My husband & I had travelled 5 countries in 8 wks between May-July by the time we arrived in Bras, and this is exactly what we needed at this point of our travels. Provence was the only region we hired a car for 12 days... More

We booked a week in a self-catering room in mid June, and were delighted with the accommodation, the quiet scenic location, and the hospitality of Harald and Joel. They both seem to have the perfect balance of being attentive hosts without being intrusive. We had dinner on two nights, one meal just excelling the other due to Joel's perfectly cooked... More
