Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The garden apartment was comfortable with a nice bed, but it felt smaller and cramped than I expected, not matching the original bastide claim. The service was fabulous, with a very warm and friendly staff. The location was convenient for walking into the city center, though it lacked a full-time attendant for pool area cleanliness. The dining experience was poor value for money and lacked attentive waiting staff. Overall, a mixed experience with some wonderful aspects but room for improvement.
The hotel offers clean and nicely decorated rooms of a decent size, but the tiny bathroom was unexpected. The service, from pool attendants to front desk staff, is excellent with top-notch customer service. The location is great, within walking distance to town in a quiet area. Dining is a real treat, although the value for money may not be the best. The facilities are of high quality, providing a comfortable stay overall.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were cozy with a small balcony overlooking the pool and gardens, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a complimentary bottle of AIX Rose. However, the tiny bathroom was a bit surprising. The service was top-notch, from check-in to check-out, and the staff were incredibly accommodating. The location was excellent, just a short walk into town, in a beautiful tranquil garden setting. The dining experience was delightful, and the local fish was a real treat. Overall, a fantastic experience with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel offers a pleasant and comfortable stay, with nice rooms and a fantastic service. However, the dining experience may not be the most impressive. The location is tranquil and beautiful, with some room for improvement around the pool area.
My stay at the hotel was delightful! The rooms were huge with an oversized outdoor deck area that offered stunning views of Mont Sainte Victoire and the gardens. The staff was attentive, friendly, and always ready to help. The location was easy to reach by foot, making it convenient to explore the town. The dining options were adequate but slightly overpriced. Overall, a lovely experience with a few minor drawbacks.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was nice with a window to the front and a very comfortable bed, but it was a bit cold. The service was fantastic, with the staff going above and beyond to assist us throughout our trip. The location was okay, in a quiet area within walking distance to town. The dining experience was satisfactory but not the best value for money. Overall, a decent choice for a short stay.
