Following a lost reservation snafu at the planned first stop on our honeymoon, we ended up at Hotel…read morele Couvent Royal. We had seen the basilica from the road on our drive the first location, were curious, read about it in the travel book and, thought, "Hey, that sounds like a pretty cool hotel." Little did we know we would be heading there soon. Booking online with the hotel on the fly was a snap. Check-in was a breeze, as the desk clerk was both patient and helpful with my (poor) French; all in all a very friendly welcome. The only room left was twin-bedded, but we were able to slide them together and apart easily. It was a surprisingly comfortable sleep, actually. The bathroom was clean and well appointed. The linens on the beds were crisp and comfy. The towels were soft and warm. The toiletries, especially the hand/bath soap, were great. All the things I look for: check, check, check and check. The setting is absolutely incredible. An historic property, to say the least. The breakfast provided a great spread. A few basic cheeses (mini Boursins, camemberts), several breads, fresh yogurt with fruit (apricots, figs) and chestnuts, great coffee, eggs, bacon, etc. Everything was delicious and well-prepared/served. The town itself, while not a prime destination, is worth a half-day of your time. We toured the basilica, shopped, sipped at friendly cafes and dined at cozy restaurants. We also stopped by the spa just up the street from the hotel (Un Moment por Soi), where we had a great experience. Everyone in the town was very sweet and incredibly welcoming. We had a great couple of days staying at the Hotel le Couvent Royal and heartily recommend it.

As you make your grand entrance through the front gate, you quickly understand that you're in for an experience of a lifetime. ROOM. Please see for yourself. I've attached a few photos. Not only was the room fantastic, the view from the room and the terrace was even better. One of my favorite Airelles perks is the $500 Dyson hair dryer in the bathroom. After you've tried it once, you question how you could have used anything else on your hair. FOOD. For brunch each day, we did the buffet with at least 100 food items. What's not to love. The dining area was not only beautiful, but serene. As for dinner, all our reservations were made by the concierge before we arrived. We had one hiccup on the first night, though. When we got into the hotel's shuttle to go to dinner, our driver informed us that the restaurant was closed. We went inside to have the concierge confirm, and indeed, it was closed. The concierge quickly pivoted and got us immediate seating at the fully booked sushi restaurant onsite. It was a very lovely meal. GROUNDS. One of the big differences between the St. Tropez and Gordes hotels is the amount of property they sit on. Whereby the Gordes hotel is a palace built into the side of a mountain in the middle of town, the St. Tropez property is expansive with lots of places to explore - including the outdoor fitness center, the Padel court, the kids camp area (with a huge treehouse), the animal farm, and all the gardens. It's like a high-end adult playground. SERVICE. Exceptional throughout our visit. As expected. The two callouts are the maid service and shuttle service. Our room was always cleaned up/turned down - yet we never saw a maid or their gear in the hallways. It was like magic. And then the drivers who shuttled us to/from town in a Rolls Royce every day were friendly and informative. They wanted to make sure we made the most of our visit. Airelles truly knows how to make you feel like a queen (and king) and make the most of your vacation time. The experience is worth every penny.

Dinner service began casually outside in the patio where guests were invited to enjoy a handful of amuse bouches while sipping on cocktails and wine. At this point, the staff introduced themselves and discussed the menu for the evening. The menu is pretty much comprised of a pre fixe which starts at about 435 euros per person. You can add on a cheese selection and wine for an additional cost. I opted for the pre fixe menu and was invited inside to enjoy the rest of the meal in the main dining room, which was very elegant and thoughtfully appointed. Seated by the window, it was nice being able to see the flickering candles outside cast against the bright moon above. From beginning to end, the meal was impeccable. With warm friendly service, elegant environs and great company, the time passed quickly. Well worth the hefty price tag and well deserved Three Michelin Stars.

The room was mediocre at best, though pool and facilities were shockingly dirty. Ensure to double check your bill for incorrect charges that they try to slip by prior check out (ex. 100 EUR parking fees despite not having a car). This was easily the worst place we have stayed when visiting the south of France. We would recommend staying at a more legitimate/reputable establishment that can offer better service and a less stressful experience. Do not stay here if you expect any help with beach club reservations, as you will have to make those accommodations yourself, despite following up with Mohammed on several occasions. 1/5 dump.

We ordered so many things on the menu and I tried all of it everything was so delicious. My favorite was the pasta they mix in a bowl of fresh Parmesan cheese and one of my favorite appetizers I believe was the carpaccio. I don't remember the name of everything else but everything was delicious. The ambience was so amazing and the staff was very friendly.

Unfortunately, our experience here felt misleading and deeply disappointing. We were specifically told that our transfer price included a short lunch stop along the way. Only after the trip did we discover we were charged an additional €300 for that brief stop -- on top of an already extremely expensive transfer. The total cost for a 3 hour and 45 minute transfer was €975. To put that into perspective, during this same trip we booked three separate 8-hour private tours with private drivers through other 5-star hotels in France, and every one of those full-day experiences cost less than this transfer. Beyond the billing issues, we also dealt with multiple contradictory explanations from staff, incorrect charges, a bedroom AC that did not work properly, and a television that repeatedly malfunctioned. What was most concerning was the overall tone when these issues were raised. During our stay, we witnessed several other guests in loud disputes with hotel staff in the lobby, which suggested we were not the only ones experiencing problems. Had everything been explained honestly upfront, this review would likely not exist. We are happy to pay for excellent service. What we object to is feeling misled. Beautiful property, but the lack of transparency and professionalism completely overshadowed the experience.

We were promptly greeted upon entry and our hands never touched a door from when we stepped foot on property. We ended up doing the larger 7 course tasting menu with a wine pairing. Unfortunately, they were out of oysters so they had to pivot but provided us a spectacular dish as an alternative. The food was fresh and unique, we also enjoyed the wine pairing, which massively compliment the dishes. There's maybe enough seating for 25 people, so it's a small and intimate setting, next to a beautiful pool. Everything was 5 star but I did feel that there was one aspect that really rubbed me the wrong way. When we stat down we were each "offered" a glass of champagne. Sure, why not, but when I looked at the bill the "offered" glasses of champagne were €50 each. Mind you this meal was nearly €1000 euro total with tip, so it's not about the cost, more how it was presented. I likely still would have purchased the glasses of champagne but when someone comes and say "Would you like a glass of champagne to start?" there an assumption (but you know what they say about that) there's not going to be a charge associated with it. I felt we certainly got what we paid for, but don't offer a glass to start and then tack another €100 on for the first two small glasses of champagne.

So I put them away. The remote system to open the entrance door from the living room in order to see who was at the door - inoperative. The remote to open close curtains in master bedroom (one of 3) inoperative. The minimalist architecture & interior design was very impressive & cool but not utilitarian at all. Nowhere to hang wet used towels & no maid service during our stay. They did provide plenty of extra towels but again used towels not picked up. No shelf in showers of any of the three bathrooms so shampoo bottles had to sit on the floor. Obviously the designer of this apartment was a man who is clueless what women or a family require. Cannot charge anything to room while there as any charges must be paid on the spot. But that apparently is a rule not to do that without prior approval. Our concierge, however, Linda was a delight. She brought us breakfast in the morning. She took care of our laundry delivery. She was available to be called at of any hour of the day/night when one of our plugs blew out and plunged entire apartment into darkness-She was available to help so we couldn't ask for more than that she was terrific!! Do stay & enjoy this beautiful 5 star hotel in St Tropez. The restaurant food is fabulous & well over 1000 euros for dinner but Michelin star quality it is!

Lunch in a medieval setting…read more Imagine having lunch (or dinner) in an authentic 11th century castle. In fact, you can also stay as the chateau is also a hotel with a few rooms. Note that the management has changed the focus of the restaurant away from gastronomic and is now offering a limited number of dishes. Obviously, the scenery has remained the same with the pretty village of Trigance below the fortress, close to the renowned Gorges du Verdon. Inside, everything reminds you that you are in an authentic castle (see photos). The place has an overall look of sophistication with carefully selected pieces of furniture. We had duck confit which was served with an assortment of local vegetables and served in large plates beautifully laid out. We also had a plate of southwest specialties generously served (Foie gras, magret fumé,terrine de canard,toast pain aux figues). For dessert we sampled a white chocolate mousse with shaved coconut and sheep milk yogurt with a mango coulis. All this with a bottle of Minuty rose. The service was attentive and timely. The prices are reasonable. By all means, spend the time to visit the castle and admire the views from the panoramic terrace.

Although the host spoke limited English, he was very cordial, genuine, and kind to us and even came in clutch giving us an adapter when we left ours at our last hotel. Also, ALWAYS opt for the dine-in service because not only is it hard to find places to eat around here, but it's worth it. Our dinner was gorgeous and full of fresh ingredients that made you feel both healthy and appreciative of the type of thought that gets put into crafting your dish. And out of all the places we've stayed and had breakfast at (including outside of France), Chateau de Trigance is #1. The breakfast has a basket of bread, your drink preference which they ask the night before (we got big coffees), fresh fruit and yogurt, natural honey made from the village, cheese + meats, etc. A testament to how meticulous this place is in delivering premium service is how they TOASTED all of the breads in your breakfast basket. I was already swooning over this place, but toasting my bread? You've won my heart, Chateau de Trigance, LOL.
