Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume Vacations from ￥408,348

Average, front desk staff could be more helpful.

The property is beautiful, I did the chefs kitchen dinner, and enjoyed it.,

The hotel is set on a hillside with beautiful views of the Provence countryside from some room windows and from the pool and grounds. Everything is made of old stone and the rooms feel so luxurious I was astonished I could afford a room. The staff was very helpful and friendly. It is a little bit of a walk from Gordes, but we drove our car halfway to the town and used the roadside parking, and the walk the rest of the way was not too bad.

I don’t write reviews very often, but felt compelled to do so. Highly ranked hotel as it’s beautiful, but ranked last of all hotels we stayed at in France for the last 10 days despite being the most expensive. Location is central but best to drive to wineries as none are close enough to walk to. The pool they show online does not exist. The AC will only go to 24 degrees as they are waiting on a part. Key fob did not work and had to wait over an hour for someone to come and open it for us. Despite they giving us a bottle of wine and olive oil, very kind, we felt a discount should be given and none was except to pay for our breakfast. Disappointing and would not recommend with the price we paid.
