Honestly, their social media team is SO bad, we almost did not book here because so many other…read moreplaces nearby had stunning pictures of rooms, the grounds, etc. which looked a LOT better! Coquillade's seemed to hype DJ nights and restaurant menus. (Ironically, The only part of our stay we didn't enjoy was the restaurants ... and thankfully there were no DJs/dance parties while we were there!!) We looked at Airelles Bastide in Gordes and Crillion la Brave in Vaucluse ... we weren't blown away by either of the rooms and for our stay, the dates were not available. We stumbled upon an article in a travel magazine, which stated this was one of France's top resorts and despite not much information to go on ... we booked it. Long story short ... great decision! It was a highlight of our trip. Before getting into the specifics ... I will just say that while we were there, it just felt like home. We only had 3 days, but by the second day, the staff knew us by name and we felt that we could wander around the property freely, which we loved. There are walking trails which lead you past lavender lined walkways, fields of clover, vegetable gardens and unspoiled hills and forest. While we HATED the lobby (it felt like a high end golf club ... or conference center hotel) and did not love any of the restaurants ... the room was fantastic and cozy. There is not much to do around this hotel. In Provence, literally everything closes at 9 p.m. It is impossible finding something to eat at 10 p.m. and after 9 or 10 ... there really is nothing to do at this resort. The pool is closed, it feels like a ghost town ... luckily the rooms are great. We were upgraded to a suite and were in love! So much space to spread out ... a beautiful bathroom with dual vanity, separate tub and a steam shower. The bed was comfy and there was a small patio overlooking the vineyard. I am a cigar smoker and loved this view. We also had a big window, floor to ceiling, which opened and each morning we laid in bed and looked out over the winery and tall pointy trees. Each day, sweets and treats were left for us ... bignets, candied oranges and our mini-bar was stocked each day with waters, local beer and little jars of nuts ... all of this was included in the room cost. A very underrated feature ... unlike tye US, there was no resort fee! The breakfasts were amazing, and also included! Relais y Chateau properties focus on local foods ... much of the fruit, vegetables and honey were grown on property. The cheese plate was amazing! And they had a hot egg station, sausage and anything you could want for breakfast (except for Mimosas). While you are basically in the middle of farmland, it's a 15-30 minute drive to some great towns. Of course Gordes gets all the glory being ranked one of the most picturesque towns in the world. (We found it overrated.) Rossillion was our favorite town nearby. Its an instgram dream. We did not see Lacoste which is also nearby ... but the concierge recommended a few great, local restaurants. One was a roof deck restaurant, which was very cool. The other was Clover Gordes ... very expensive and fancy but essential for the Provence experience. Onsite, we had 2 dinners ... mostly because it was far to drive elsewhere at night. Both were average at best ... and expensive, although not shockingly so. The restaurants need work here ... thai and Italian at a French resort. Blah. We did have pizza at the pool one day, which I will admit was good Neopolitan style pizza. The pool was super warm ... although a bit crowded. It was huge though, most other resorts feature narrow pools for dipping ... this one seemed more for recreation. The landscaping is breathtaking here. All the gardeners deserve a raise. Hedges of wonderful smelling jasmine ... flowers ... and of course the lavender hedges. We were not there for the flowering but even so, we snapped a little bud off here and there to smell before we went to bed at night. The rows look wonderful with the tall, pointy green trees. The only downside to the grounds is its a bit hard to relax in the room in the morning/afternoon because there are lots of hedge trimmer, leaf blower and other machinery sounds as the groundskeeping staff keeps the property looking beautiful. Overall, we loved our stay. 5-stars and then some. Even though nights were boring, we could have stayed an entire week. It felt like home. Driving or biking, know that you will need to take some day trips ... but losing yourself in the French countryside is what this place is all about. If you want to be more in the action/closer to town, maybe Arielles Resort in Gordes would be better for you. However, if we were to return to the area, we would stay here again!

As for breakfast, delicious, home made jams to die for, copious, diverse, a treat! But my main satisfaction was how well we were received, and by people who clearly don't do that job simply for money, but because they love having people from all over the world in their home, to introduce them to their beloved Luberon they know so well, and to share with them true meaning full moments, even if it is just for a glass of wine at the "apero". They adapt very well to their hosts and their preferences (being independent or very social). It was better than a five star hotel. I have read the only three negative comments on this place, and I wanted to straight the record as unfair negative reviews hurt small businesses very much. I have zero connection to our hosts nor any interest in their business, and I can't imagine having anything negative to say. They moved us by their sincerity and generosity. They love what they do, you can easily tell. Therefore, we loved staying with them. Don't hesitate: impeccable service and the charm of France at its best. Thank you Annette and Francois.

Dinner, one of the best pieces of sea bass I have ever eaten, on a bed of braised fennel, my daughter had lamb cooked for 8hrs in a traditional French red wine sauce.

We enjoyed the food at Restaurant Cesar but not the service. The wait between our appetizer and…read moremain dish was almost an hour, but having lived in France for two years we could live with it and would have given them four stars. It was the waiter's inappropriate behavior and the owner's total lack of apology that ruined the evening. My wife wasn't sure what "charolais" meant and asked me whether it was filet mignon. The waiter overheard her and started laughing to himself and commenting to other French guests. We were shocked and told the owner. The owner, without knowing what happened (he was quite far from us and could not have overheard), flatly denied that it could have happened and was completely unapologetic. My wife spoke French well and we had a French friend with us, and all of us were taken back by the owner's attitude. After we walked out, our children, who spoke fluent French, told us that the owner used a number of dirty French slangs when talking to us, e.g., engueler, as in "you cannot shout in my restaurant with your dog mouth." Though we were upset, we never shouted at the owner and would have never imagined that a proprietor would direct such words to his customers. If we didn't understand French, we would not have caught the waiter or the owner's rudeness. There are a number of nice restaurants in Bonnieux with equally good food but without the unpleasantness. We recommend Fournil and l'Arome.

This hotel is so gorgeous. It feels like it was plucked from the pages of a restoration hardware…read morecatalogue, but we suspect RH got many of their design ideas from this type of place! It's a winery estate, with 22 rooms, a vineyard, an outdoor pool, and was originally a Working estate and home. It feels like a haven, with beautiful gardens and grounds, with walking paths and fountains, you hardly need to leave because it also has two restaurants on site, one a casual bistro, the other a stunning Michelin star rated restaurant. There is a full bar as well, and a lovely library for rainy afternoon relaxation. The majority of the employees speak English perfectly, but will entertain my poor attempts to engage in French. The hotel rooms are seriously like walking into a page from Restoration Hardware, the decode is elegant, the beds are comfortable (actual king size!) and they even pipe scents in throughout the hotel which are classy, understated, and leave you subtly sniffing around for the next Whig of something awesome. They also have a VERY small gym with some light dumbbells and cardio equipment, and a coed steam room. Anything you could want is here, with style and service beyond expectations.

We chose this hotel because it is in a good, central location from which to explore the Luberon…read moreregion and because it lies a little outside of the village, so driving there and parking is easier. Plus, it just looked pretty in the photos! We were very happy here, although there were a few little kinks. The main problem is that it is hard to find. The address they gave us would not compute for our GPS, so we input the GPS coordinates they provided instead. Those coordinates directed us up the hill and straight into the center of the village...exactly what we were trying to avoid. When we called to get directions, the woman we spoke to did not speak enough English to help us. If you get lucky you will come across one of the signs they have posted and can follow those to the hotel. Once you find it, though, it is a lovely place...just as pretty as expected. We were there in July, and so much lavender was in bloom that everything smelled like soap...wonderful. The property backs up to some ochre cliffs, so you can have yourself a little hike right from your room. The rooms are minimally decorated, but very spacious and comfortable. Parking is on-site and easy. Wi-fi is strong. Breakfast is not included in the price, but it was really delicious, and I strongly recommend you eat there if you need a good breakfast in the morning, as there aren't many better options in the village. We had one dinner at their restaurant, and it was very nice, although in the case of dinner, there are, actually, many better options in the area. Overall this is a lovely and affordable hotel, and we were very happy with it.
