I've been meaning to get around to writing this review for a year now. I simply can't say enough about this property. It is one of a kind, stunning, amazing and beautiful. I had paid for a premium view room, and that's precisely what we got. Further up the hill, with a stunning view over the valley to the villages (Fayence, etc) across the way.
We travelled early October, and so the resort was not busy. The weather was quintessential Provence, and so we were able to enjoy the pool (to ourselves), which is perhaps the most amazing part about this hotel. The pool area is, quite frankly, one of the most gorgeous things I have ever seen, with the infinity edge falling over the hills, with the scent of lavendar in the air, fresh wood wires off in the distance. I'll remember that place for the rest of my life!
Not beating around the bush, this hotel is very expensive, but you get what you pay for. The rooms (suites) are terrific, with a lovely living room, separate bedroom, appreciated dressing area, and a beautiful bathroom with a deep soaking tub and a wonderful walk-in shower. Included in our rate of 650 Euros a night (!!!) was breakfast -- thank heavens as it was 90 Euros a day for the two of us! However, the ability to enjoy ones breakfast on the large, private terrace, with that view over the hills and mist and low cloud in the valley is now engrained in my head forever.
The food here is also absolutely to die for. The day we arrived, we had a light meal in the "casual" restaurant, which is a stunning room with great energy, good food and good service. We also ate in the same room on a subsequent evening, sitting at the bar and drinking champagne by the glass and eating a tasty meal. We then went back to the room and ordered hot chocolate and a cheese plate, and watched a movie.
The service throughout the resort is exceptional, from the valet staff to the front staff, to the crew that transports you back and forth to your room in the rain with the golf cart. What a terrific property.
In short, save, scrimp and save, so that you can splurge on a few days at this magnificent resort. I can't wait to return, when I can afford it again!
