Pros:

Tout ! Le cadre, la bâtisse, la chambre, le restaurant délicieux, l'équipe, la piscine, le coin spa, le calme, le chant des cigales et des oiseaux : magique !

Une belle bastide, mais prix surévalué.
Pros:

L'architecture générale, puisqu'il s'agit d'une bastide bien conservée dans son jus. La terrasse sous les platanes, avec le chant des cigales. La piscine, assez grande et calme.

Cons:

La baignoire dans notre salle de bain, sans douche, sans moyen d'accrocher la douchette, et avec le distributeur de savon / shampoing placé en tête de la baignoire, au lieu du coté. Et d'un accès difficile, puisqu'il y a un large rebord. Et pas d'antidérapant dans le fond, ni de tirette d'alarme.
En ce qui concerne le petit déjeuner, il n'est pas à la hauteur du prix (36€). De plus, avant 8h30 la cuisine n'est pas ouverte, donc pas de bacon ou d'oeuf.

Pros:

prachtige locatie onder de Provençaalse platanen .subliem personeel heel lief en allemaal even vriendelijk, behulpzaam en attent.

Un havre de paix
Pros:

Un havre de paix dans un petit village proche de la nature. Nous reviendrons ! L’accueil, le lieu, le jardin, la piscine tout était sublime. La nourriture excellente du petit déjeuner au dîner.

Cons:

Le café Magdeleine est excellent mais assez cher pour de petites portions

Top-Restaurant, aber nur gutes Hotel
Pros:

Die Nähe zu Aix en Provence oder aber auch zur Küste (Bandol/Cassis).
Das alte Haus mit der Parkanlage und dem Pool.
Frühstück auf der Terrasse ( wenn der Wind dies nicht verhindert)
Das „kleine“ Menü im Sterne- Restaurant

Cons:

Trotz Verständnis für das historische Gebäude ist das Niveau u. Modernität der Zimmer max.4 Sterne wert.
Frühstücksauswahl bei weitem nicht auf internationalem 5 Sterne Level
Das Personal war professionell, aber nicht emphatisch.

Memorable short stay in a tranquil place with great character.
Pros:

Absolutely beautiful. Old with great character. Tranquil and cool gardens. Delightful, secluded pool. Lovely, attentive staff.

Cons:

The breakfast was for us judged too expensive. But no complaints as it was our decision to eat in the local restaurants and avoid the extra cost.

There are far better places to stay at in the regiom
Pros:

The food at the restaurant was very nice

Cons:

The village is not great. The hotel is located close to a busy road so it’s quite noisy. The wellbeing space looks and feels cheap. The pool is not heated.

Pros:

Espaço exterior, jardim

Cons:

Restaurante gourmet é uma grande desilusão, nada recomendável tanto pela qualidade dos pratos como pela exorbitância dos preços. A evitar
