Why It Matters
One of the few hotels in the Alpilles where the building itself — a former 17th-century oil mill converted in the 19th century — is as much a reason to stay as the location. Fontvieille is the village that inspired Alphonse Daudet's 'Lettres de mon Moulin,' and La Régalido has been an institution in this corner of Provence for decades.
A 4-star hotel in a 17th-century oil mill right in the centre of Fontvieille. The building is genuinely old — thick stone walls, vaulted ceilings, the works — and the 23 rooms lean into that character with aged mango wood furniture and palette colours pulled from the surrounding Alpilles landscape: lavender violet, garrigues green, warm earthy ochre. The Fragonard spa and the Mistral Blanc restaurant round out an address that works as a proper base for exploring Provence rather than just a place to sleep.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Classic Room
At 20–30 m², the Classic rooms are a step up in space. Meticulous Provençal decoration, elegant textiles, and some offer a garden outlook. Fits up to 2 adults and 1 baby. A solid mid-range pick if you want more room to breathe.
King size or twin · 25 sqm
Comfort Room
Sized at 18–22 m², these rooms are dressed in powder pink, antique grey and warm brown — a palette that sounds fussy on paper but actually feels calm and enveloping. Old mango wood furniture throughout. Village view from the window.
King size or twin · 20 sqmConnecting Rooms
Two large rooms that connect to give 60 m² total — the go-to for families or two couples travelling together. Think of it as a private apartment within the hotel, with all the comforts of the Deluxe category across both rooms.
King size or twin (per room) · 60 sqmDeluxe Room
25–45 m² of individually tailored rooms — each one furnished differently with bespoke pieces that give it its own personality. Every Deluxe has a terrace, and all come with both a shower and a bath. The best option short of the suite.
King size or twin · 35 sqmStandard Room
The entry-level room sits in the heart of the historic building. At 20 m² it's cosy rather than spacious — fine for a night or two. Soft Provençal tones, a large double bed, and its own bathroom with shower or bath. Accessible versions available.
King size (twin on request) · 20 sqmSuite
The top accommodation at 40 m², with a glass-enclosed bathroom housing both an Italian shower and a freestanding bath. There's a proper lounge area too. Powder-toned decor in a nod to the Alpilles. Priced around €239/night depending on dates.
King size or twin · 40 sqmSuperior Room
25–35 m² and genuinely differentiated from one another: one has a four-poster bed, another a private terrace, another overlooks the garden. Some accommodate up to 4 guests with a sofa bed. These are the rooms where the character of the place really comes through.
