16/10 Exceptional! (15 reviews)
The entrance to the hotel is very run down. All the reception staff seemed to teenagers with varying levels of English spoken which caused confusion. There was a power cut (?) so the restaurant was closed (disappointing) and the fridge in my room didn't work, pretty bad considering the temperature outside. I was disappointed in my stay as I paid about £180 for one night. I would expect better for that expense.

It was quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. The room was very comfortable with a lovely patio. A 10 minute drive to Aix en provence, plus they will take you there in a shuttle. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable.
