“Be aware - pool costs 2eur per person!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2010
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed here for one night and I more or less agree with the other reviews. However I would like to add that the service is really not that good. Even unpleasant and unreliable at times.
The restaurant next door is nice and probably fantastic for somebody not so familiar with French cuisine however if you have travelled around, it is nothing special. Service not to be trusted.
The rooms upstairs are overpriced and note that at least the one we had, had just a small tiny window so you can't enjoy the nice scenery at all, feels like being in a decorated hospital room.
Finally and the most emazing is that you have to pay 2eur by person if you want to use the pool. And this is not clearly indicated anywhere so you just have to pay your bill next morning. It only says that it costs 2eur to have a pool towel from reception desk. We had to pay eventhough we didn't use any towel at all! Very rude. We were told by the hotel manager that she doesn't want to have customers like us in the hotel. So judge yourselves. This is very uncommon in France and most guests are foreign so do be aware.

I remind you very well Mister, the problem I had with you happened 3 weeks ago. Firstly I just wonder why you write in English and why you say that you are from Finland because this problem happened with a French customer?! I can confirm I told you that I do not wish to welcome customer of a bad faith and I can explain why, people who read comments have to know the truth.
The most amazing in your message is the lie concerning the swimming pool: people do not have to pay 2 euros to use it, people who do not have their own towel can rent a towel at 2 euros per person for all the stay, here is the difference. It is clearly specified on reservation confirmation, on our website and in rooms ( on the guide book and behind the door with rates ). When my receptionist saw you with bathroom towels from the room she came to see you near the swimming pool and she told you that it was forbidden to use those towels from the room and you had the possibility to rent our towels, but you completely ignored it because you continued to use bathroom towels anyway. That is the reason why you paid 4 euros for towels on departure; if you disagree with our rules ( You knew it before your arrival because it was clearly written on your reservation confirmation sent by e-mail that I showed you ) you should have chosen another hotel. This is not our fault if you forgot your own towels!
This is the first time that I have a such problem with a customer and believe me: this is the first time I have to tell I do not wish to have customer like that in my hotel but I cannot accept people of bad faith. When we make mistakes and faults we recognize it and try to do better for next time but this is unacceptable to tell false comments on Internet .
We have lost of foreigners in our hotel and they appreciate welcome and service.
However I can completely accept the fact that you did not like room decoration, people do not have the same tastes ( all our rooms have the same services). For the price your reservation was a "Bon Cadeau" and I can tell you that the price of this package is a low price for this season.
People will judge by themselves on different websites with lots of good comments.

“Tranquil setting, close to everthing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2009

This hotel is 4km from the lovely town of Gordes.
It is conveniently located to other Provence highlights.
Our favorite was St. Remy. Only 1 hour away, driving through beautiful scenery.
Save time to enjoy the steamroom, sauna and hot tub!
Also, be sure to make a reservation at the superb restaurant next door.
They were full every night and there are not alot of options.
The roads are quite dark at night so driving too far is not alot of fun after
dinner and drinks.
We had a great stay.

“Ok....”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 October 2007

We decided to go to Provence for a relaxing holiday in France. The hotel is located in Les Imberts which is about 3km from Gordes so hiring a car is necessary, it really isnt near enough to walk. Les Imberts hasnt got much in it as it's a residential area. The hotel has a restaurant (L'Estellan) which we never tried but looks nice. Gordes has a few fantastic restaurants (Domaine de L'enclos de Gustav - amazing!), and one that i would avoid like the plague (L'Artegal). The market in Gordes on a tuesday morning is also worth a visit. Rousillon, a little town nearby is beautiful too.

The hotel is nice and the pool and garden area are beautiful. They are exactly as shown on the website. We had a private garden/terrace which was great.

We are not a fussy couple. The room was fine - small, but it had everything that we needed in it. The only problem was that I have an allergy to cats and the previous occupant had obviously had one in the room as there were cat hairs on the duvets and my allergy acted up, but this improved as the week went on.

We paid €1000 for the hotel for a week, which we thought was expensive for September at the time, but the photos and the location seemed perfect. Looking back now, it wasn't very good value..the price didn't include breakfast which we knew before we went. (Breakfast cost €12 per person per day but i heard some guests commenting that it wasnt worth it...) The staff did their jobs but nothing more, they were reluctantly helpful and gave the impression that they didnt like to be disturbed. My boyfriend was extremely sick during our stay and I found the staff to be very unsympathetic, indifferent and cold. We have stayed in hotels which cost alot less and have left with a better impression.

Overall, I would recommend this hotel for a short stay if only for the setting and the location, but i certainly would not pay over the odds for it.

“Excellent hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 July 2007

person found this review helpful

Stayed for two nights in this hotel. It was very clean and had a fabulous outdoor pool and gardens. The breakfast was good. The hotel is a fair distance from any attractions and you need a car to get around. The quaint lovely town of Gordes is about 3 miles away. Better than Gordes was a village called Venasque. A must for a visit.

“Nice hotel, great value!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 May 2006

people found this review helpful

We recently stayed here May 20- 22 for 2 nights. I stayed here several years ago when I did a cycling trip in Provence and purposely chose to return. Hotels in Gordes can be quite expensive and parking can be a hassle but neither of those problems exist with Mas de la Senancole.

This hotel is located on the road to Gordes and is only about 10 minutes away by car. There is ample free parking and it is very quiet. Our room was 130 euros a night (there are cheaper rooms if you don't want a terrace) and it was clean and furnished well enough for us. It was not super luxurious but it had a minibar, outdoor terrace and very efficient A/C. It was perfectly fine for me and I can be very picky about rooms.

One of the best things about this hotel is their pool. It could be a pool at a 4 or 5 star hotel, and really does look like it appears on their website. Their charming breakfast room looks out onto the pool and there is a lavish breakfast buffet there every morning. We highly recommend it.

I think this place is a great deal and definitely will return.
