Parfait
Pros:

Parfait, Je suis venue une première fois. J'ai trouvé le personnel adorable, c'est pourquoi je suis revenue. Cette fois j'ai mangé au resto. Tout était parfait.

Pros:

Bella struttura, la nostra camera si affacciava sul giardino dove c'è il ristorante ma nonostante questo era silenziosa, curata nei dettagli. Assolutamente consigliato

Cons:

La colazione è stata adeguata ma da amante del dolce avevo poca scelta di prodotti, solo brioches e pain ou chocolat mignon. Suggerirei di implementare la tipologia dei dolci e di fornire ai clienti una macchina per le bevande calde (caffe ecc.) più performante.

Cool vibes, beautiful restaurant and comfortable rooms.
Pros:

A pretty and quiet location. The restaurant was lovely and there were two excellent live guitarists playing, the night we arrived. We had a great courtyard and our room was comfortable.

On the day we left early for the airport, a staff member opened the breakfast buffet early for us which was very thoughtful.

Great background music, we enjoyed the chilled vibes.

Cons:

The pool gate is highly ineffective and annoying to use. It should be replaced.

It would be great to have a limited snack menu available outside of restaurant hours.

The coffee and tea making facilities inside the rooms could be improved by offering coffee, milk and perhaps a small coffee plunger.

The body wash in the shower was lovely but shampoo and conditioner could also be offered.

Further information about how to get around without a car could be offered. Ie uber works well. For walkers, information about the best way to get to Les Milles would have been handy.

좋은점은 없어요

Cons:

갔을 때 여기가 숙박업체인지 가구공장인지 어수선하고
무질서하고 지금까지 다녀 본 숙박업소 중에 최악입니다

Une soirée étape parfaite pour débuter nos vacances dans le sud
Pros:

Le domaine est magnifique, les chambres sont très confortables, la piscine est superbe, le dîner sous les arbres et les lampions au bord de la piscine était magique. Cette soirée étape était parfaite.

Cons:

Il n'a manqué que quelques saucisses ou bacon pour que le petit déjeuner soit vraiment complet

Really enjoyed our stay really lovely staff and something a bit different to the usual loved it
Pros:

This is a slightly quirky place which we absolutely loved. The staff are extremely friendly. There is an outside restaurant and bar which is very busy in the evening as it’s so good with a fun but relaxed vibe. You need to drive or take a taxi into Aix town which is around 18 euro

Cons:

Need to be aware that they do a lot of events weddings etc and also put on their own music events best to check if one of those is happening before confirming booking as it could be noisy.

Sehr schönes Hotel um des Lebrn in der Provence kennen zu Lernen
Pros:

Sehr schöne Domaine mit Provence-Flair.
Zimmer waren entsprechend des Alters der Gemäuer klein und zum Teil unkomfortabel geschnitten. Kein Kleiderschrank, wenig Ablagemöglichkeiten. Aber sauber und mit Flair.
Außenbereich sensationell gut für ein tolles Frühstück und romantische Abende.
Restaurant gut besucht, vor allem durch externe Gäste und Gruppen.
Personal teils sehr freundlich( Damen), teils ignorant (Herren).
Abendessen gut bis sehr gut.
Guter Ausgangspunkt zur Erkundung der Highlights der Provence.

Cons:

Enge Zufahrtsstraße und nicht ausreichende Parkmöglichkeiten, vor allem aufgrund externer Restaurantgäste
