Hotel & Spa des Gorges du Verdon

My wife and I have stayed here three times and it is a very special hotel. They have a great small spa area with excellent masseuses. The hotel pool is large and the staff serves poolside. The rooms are nice and have beautiful views of the mountains. The most impressive thing about this hotel is the food and drink. The food is absolutely delicious and dining out on the balcony with breathtaking views of the sunset makes it even better.

Wonderful place. A bit pricey for what's on offer. Air conditioning not great.

This is an interesting 4 star hotel on top of a small hill of a little town. Upon arrival it has a large enough carpark for you to find a spot. Inside the hotel looks nice but hot. Unfortunately it has no air conditioned through the hotel. Even their bar and dining area have no air conditioned. Is not just the heat but the flies hovering around you. We’d the Olive suite which is upstairs (no lift) so be prepared to carry your suitcase up. Luckily, Camille the receptionist is a very strong lady. She carried my luggage up - thank you very much! Our room has a nice layout and fantastic balcony area which we use it to dry our clothes (super fast). Lovely views from living area and bedroom. Bed is comfortable but the pillows are not that comfortable. They have a small little fridge for you to put a bottle of wine and some things if you need. It has a swimming pool which is not able to do laps but enough to swim just a little or to cool down and a nice warm Jacuzzi beside it. Steam room only functioned between 3-7pm. We hike daily as you can find some hiking trails around the area or drive out 20-35min. away. If you plan to leave early morning like we do before the heat gets to you, please do get the CODE to get out if you are driving as there’s a gate. We didn’t know where to find the code on day 1 and it was written right at the card key slot in the room but because of our pathetic eyesight and in the early morning when we were frantic and fraustrated, we got no help as there was no one in this hotel between 5am-7am. Staff are typical French not smiley but they are helpful so long you ask. One of the lady was kind to let us order some small bites to be served at 4pm as their dinner starts at 7pm which is too late for us. We had a great time at their dining area at 4pm though no air conditioned but it was surprisingly very pleasant that day with no flies. Wine by the bottle is also good enough and reasonably priced. Breakfast was great! No omelette/Crepe made to order but plenty to eat. Considering a 4 star hotel, it has quality fruits and lots of nice pastry! Is quite a remote area such that you can’t find a nice restaurant within 30min. drive. There is a small town just 10min. walk but they are again filled with flies all over your food. There is a small supermarket that has enough things if you need some food or wine. A small petrol kiosk that accepts credit card easily. 2 cafes that open early morning by 9am and they serve ice cream too. Other than that, there’s nothing much really. This is the nicest hotel you can find in this area.

Unfortunately stayed only for 1 night, wished we had stayed longer. Small motel, beautiful panoramic views over the countryside. Rooms well equipped, very nice pool and hot tub and steam room, beautiful sun decks everywhere. Dinner was one of the best we had in France, great al fresco breakfast. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Great base to explore Gorge du Verdon.
