"This romantic boutique address – a centuries-old townhouse in Nîmes – feels like a deliciously indulgent secret." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"Despite being in downtown Nîmes, jardins secrets feels like a romantic rural refuge, with 14 guest rooms and a small swimming pool shaded by orange and olive trees hidden behind a pink façade." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith

Frommer's
"Furnishings are super comfortable with armchairs, matching fabrics and colors and one-off accessories carefully sourced to match the feel of each room. Public areas are equally sophisticated" Full review
