It is really difficult not to like this hotel and spa…read more Set in a breathtaking Provence setting, this old convent-turned-five-star-hotel has excellent service, a beautiful l'Occitane spa, beautifully-kept grounds (and terrace gardens!) and two delicious restaurants. Oh and did I mention the heated outdoor pool? The standard rooms can be a bit small (after all, they used to be inhabited by ... nuns). But they are all very well appointed, the beds are extremely comfortable and the bathrooms (waterfall shower and separate tub+ his and hers sinks) are very modern. It is absolutely perfect for a romantic weekend getaway - or perhaps even a weekend with the girls. It's just an hour drive from the Aix-en-Provence train station. I would recommend booking the spa in advance - seems like weekends can get crowded - and eating at any one of the two restaurants (Bancaou, by the pool, and le Cloitre - the gastronomic restaurant with chef Philippe Guerin) at least once, even if it does get pricey. It's also a great spot to visit any of the surrounding villages - the area is so incredibly beautiful.

They made sure that my stay was more than just relaxing and comforting. They made sure everything I requested was done in a snap. From the first step into the hotel, the concierge to the front desk, they greeted me with smiles and warm welcomes. They kept my car clean and ready at all times and my room was spotless with fresh towels throughout the day. From room service to dining restaurants, the service and the food were just exquisite beyond my highest expectations. Big shout out to the concierge and everyone served me throughout my stay. I am a customer for life!! I had the hotel all to myself to the last day of October 27 before the closure for the winter months. What an unforgettable and unbelievable experience!! As far as I'm concern, even if no one can speak any English here, their actions have met all of my expectations and more LOUD & CLEAR. I love you LBdG!! Best to none!! The experience was EPIC!!

The bastides is a palace ( above 5 star) and as such everything should be 5 stars…read more This review is about the bar so it is not about the rooms nor the Michelin starred restaurant pierre gagnaire: In the afternoon after a walk in Gordes on a hot day we stopped at the terrace to have a drink The beers are expensive at $20 for 2 and we had to insist for some nibbles (we asked for peanuts; response from the waiter : "let me see what I can do "as if it was the first time such a simple request is made. He came back with a few salty biscuits ). At this price and in this class of hotel this should not even be a request . 3 star because the view from the hotel is amazing I will come back to stay in the hotel and try the main restaurant Hopefully I will be able to update my review

You feel so disconnected from the outside world...which is exactly what we wanted. Yet, it is very close to the beautiful Gorge Du Verdon. -Also recommend adding that to the MUSt do list if in the area- We enjoyed playing Poquette (similar to bocce ball) on the grounds and making friends with the sweet donkeys. Everything about our time on the property was special and I couldn't recommend it more. We had breakfast and dinner twice at the newly awarded Michelin Star restaurant onsite. The team did an exceptional job of taking care of us and the food, well it was....magnifique!! Thank you for making our voyage de noces one for the memory books the pictures do not do it justice!!
