It was shoulder season when we stayed (mid October), but the grounds were not well kept. The pool was heated and “open” but none of the chairs were set up to enjoy the amenity which was disappointing. The hotel and room was quaint but I didn’t feel that the price reflected the quality of the hotel

A dreamy stay in the south of France
I ADORE the Bastide de Moustiers. This is the third time I've stayed at the hotel and it has yet to let me down on any front. A true gem in one of the most stunning areas of Provence.

Lovely place
La Bastide was a lovely hotel, with pretty rooms, nice outdoor space, and a great restaurant. It's very well located if you want to explore the Verdon Gorge and St. Croix lake. The town of Moustiers, about a 5 minute drive away, is also very lovely.

Beautiful setting and impeccable service
Service was amazing. Staff has an attentive eye for detail and goes above and beyond. Beautifully maintained grounds. Location is nice, a bit outside of the city center, but an easy walk, about 15 min strolling pace. Rooms are comfortable, clean, quiet, and very private. Wonderful--everything fresh and homemade.

Just perfect
On a two week trip throughout the south of France, this was our favorite. Very memorable room with private outdoor deck and mountain view towards Moustiers. Excellent service and the fantastic Michelin starred restaurant is a must. 15 min walk from the hotel into the town, which is honestly magical with waterfalls flowing right through the village. Then easy access to kayaking the surreal Verdon Gorge and seeing the endless lavender fields of Valensole. If you're thinking of a Provencal visit, Bastide de Moustiers is a perfect stay.

Lovely grounds and gardens! Not many indoor spaces to sit and relax though. Our room was converted from the servants' quarters. It was quaint though small. I liked the bed. The bathroom was very clean. The restaurant is okay — for a total seating of 32 people and 4 staff members at front of the house (host and sommelier included), they seemed rushed and scattered. They forgot one of my drink requests. The tasting menus were good generally. The soupe au pistou was delicious, with fresh herbs and vegetables directly from the gardens, but the portion of pork was too bland and generous.

Overpriced
I was disappointed with our visit. In my booking request I specifically stated "spacious" as we travel for 2 months and have considerable luggage. accommodation was very small, although attractive and once we had semi unpacked (there was only a tiny wardrobe etc.) we felt very uncomfortable. To be fair, when we explained our concerns, we were moved to another room, which was slightly larger. Staff were very helpful and pleasant and did their best. However, the Bastide in our opinion is overpriced and did not even include breakfast which was an additional EUR50.00 for two persons and was fairly modest in comparison with the delicious and plentiful breakfasts served in Austria and Italy. For the price charged we expected a larger and more comfortable room and certainly breakfast included. We feel that our booking request was not given sufficient consideration, even though we understand that it can only be a "request", we should have been informed in advance that rooms are tiny as we would not have booked with this establishment. The biting flies are a very real problem at this time of the year and we do feel that the Bastide could have made an effort to use "plug in" deterrants in room and public areas and also by the pool. Having the cheese consumed by flies before being served was very offputting. Its a very unpleasant and serious problem and needs to be addressed. Can only hope that the kitchen has some sort of fly screens!!!!!!!

Can't wait to go back...
Charming boutique hotel near the picturesque town of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie & lake of Sainte-Croix. Stunning scenery + loads to do around: hiking, climbing, kayaking, paragliding. Tons of walking paths in the area too, though be warned: it's so beautiful you'll probably have to stop every 2 metres to take a photo... Hotel staff couldn't be more helpful / friendlier. Restaurant serves top-notch gourmet food. We had such a great time that we started planning for our next trip there as soon as we boarded the plane back to London - obviously with a stay at La Bastide de Moustiers!

A wonderful hotel and restaurant
This is a lovely hotel. It is set into beautifully laid out and maintained gardens which ooze charm. The staff is extremely welcoming and friendly. Our room was lovely and quiet. I can think of only two criticisms. First, although the restaurant is solidly worth its one Michelin star, they were a touch rigid in dealing with the menu. When we wanted to substitute one item on set menu, the answer was a rather brusque "no". That lack of accommodation was not fitting to the ambiance of the hotel and restaurant. Second, the wifi is pre-historically slow. But that often is the case in French hotels.
