Summary
A beguiling novel of romance, adventure and tongue-in-cheek suspense set in the South of France, from the beloved, best-selling author of A Year in Provence.
Simon Shaw, a rumpled, fortyish English advertising executive, has decided to leave it all behind, and heads of to France to transform an abandoned police station in the LubEron into a small but world-class hotel. On his side, Simon has a loyal majordomo and a French business partner who is as practical as she is ravishing. But he hasn't counted on the malignant local journalist—or on the mauvaise types who have chosen the neighboring village as the site of their latest bank robbery. Slyly funny and overflowing with sensuous descriptions of the good life, Hotel Pastis is the literacy equivalent of a four-star restaurant.

Excellent plot.
A fun story, beautifully narrated. A joy from start to finish. The atmosphere of Provence skillfully interwoven with two parallel plots.

One of my favourite all-time books
Sure, it’s dated now but recalls a life I used to live ( and still live) and the dream of an escape come true, with a twist at the end.

Ideal story to lose yourself for a few hours
I’m a bit of a Gluton for the easy read/listen of an idealist escape, change your life and live happily ever after and this is another one of those tales. Easy to listen, follow and enjoy.

A Rosé filled delight
Loved every minute. Peter Mayle takes you on an immersive adventure around the Luberon. It’s a light hearted caper that will transport the listener into the sun soaked hills of Provence setting them down onto a warm terrace with a glass or two of Rosé

Fabulously easy
I absolutely loved it. Peter Mayle has such a distinct style, all laced with his love for for his French life and the characters he has so astutely carved out.

Hasn’t aged well
Tediously sexist - there’s something unpleasantly misogynistic about the tone that I wasn’t expecting. It’s also the kind of book that makes a point of criticising vulgar consumerism while also being preoccupied with status and brands. A wasted credit, alas.
