Hotels near Les Caves De Richelieu, Gordes

The positives: The room was great: new, immaculate, with a bathtube and shower, nicely decorated, with a beautiful view of Luberon. The dinner was excellent as well as the food at lunch time near the pool; The pool is gorgeous. Now for the downsides,explaining why I say it's good instead of very good: it's a 5 stars hôtel, why on earth do they put 2 horrible small Nescafe instant coffee as complimentary?Why not having a Nespresso machine as the price you pay? It really looks cheap! Same with having 1 small bottle of Evian for 2 as complimentary! Same with paying 4 euros for an espresso by the pool, served in a carton cup... The service at the spa is ok but not fantastic: the massage was good enough but not the best I had. They don't introduce you to the spa when you arrive so you have to look yourself for the relaxing lounge.The space is not big so you find it easily...but it's a lack of professionalism. The lady at the réception is very pro but not very warm. You don't really feel welcomed. All the staff at the restaurant is great and very pro. Overall, like it's often the case in this kind of place, you have the feeling that you pay too much for some of the services. At this price, it should be perfect.

This hotel is very interesting. The car drove to the door, that is, the door could not be found, and the navigation showed that it was here. We repeatedly looked for it. The car slowly approached the door and the door slowly opened automatically. After entering, there are full of luxury cars, which makes people feel the so-called ”low luxury”.

This is a country hotel in a beautiful location, but the decor is in some ways more reminiscent of a chateau - quite a lot of (rather dated) black and gold in the communal areas. The pool area is stark (no proper landscaping around it, nor even pots), and the pool itself is a liner pool (wrinkled!) rather than a proper tiled one. Our bedroom was comfortable and spacious, but the fixtures and fittings, although perfectly pleasant, lacked originality and charm. All of this would be fine but I expect a bit more when paying 800 euros a night. Our large bathroom lacked a separate shower, and the toilet was bizarrely separated from the rest of the bathroom with a glass partition which afforded no privacy so seemed entirely pointless. The lilac tiles reminscent of the 20th century were another strange, presumably cost-conscious, choice. We ate at both restaurants. The flagship Michelin star is good, but not outstanding, in our opinion, given that it is a very expensive choice - but, in fairness, we did not have the tasting menu which was probably a mistake (we just weren't hungry enough). The bistro served a memorably delicious gazpacho. On the positive side, the staff were excellent - unfailingly helpful, polite, friendly and attentive. And the breakfasts are delicious. We particularly enjoyed them, taken on the outdoor terrace enjoying the beautiful view. But beware the room you choose. Ours was above a room with its own private pool. On our third night a family with 4 children occupied it and they jumped in and out of the pool until 11.30pm and again from 7.30pm. The noise was unbelievable. And not at all what you expect at a 5 star property,

In the restaurant hotel next to the creek, the room has a large bed and a sofa bed. The layout is simple and warm, clean. There is a large courtyard garden for walking and parking. The surrounding environment is also very beautiful. There is a French restaurant downstairs, which is cost-effective.

We stayed on Saturday and Sunday nights at the hotel. 1. Location and views are absolutely stunning especially on a sunny day. 2. One of the Hotel’s restaurant turned us away at 8 pm on Saturday night saying they were fully booked. Every hotel of this calibre always retains tables for hotel guests hence this was bad service. Plus at check in on the same morning the receptionist did not say that it was advisable to book the restaurants in advance. It was clear that there were empty tables in the restaurant at the time plus numerous non-resident guests. We bumped into the hotel manager and gave our feedback. We ended up eating at the bar. The food was ok. 3. We had lunch at Cipressa restaurant next to the pool which is so lovely. Pity that this restaurant only opens from 12-3pm! Many guests with families would prefer to dine here in the evening in summer months. This is by far the best restaurant in the hotel. 4. The outdoor pool which is the biggest draw of this hotel was closed on Sunday due to rain. We were out and as the rain stopped around 4 pm and sun came out we rushed back to the hotel to enjoy the evening by the pool. Sadly the hotel didn’t bother to open up the pool and bar and the facilities were locked. We saw a few people rushing out of their rooms in costumes to the pool only to be disappointed. There was no staff present to explain why the hotel didn’t bother to open up the outdoor pool. Again disappointing service for a hotel of this level. 5. We hired a smart car from the hotel and this was useful. The hotel is literally in the middle of nowhere and quoted €50 for a ride to a restaurant which was 5 minutes by road. Hence hire your own car! 6. We used the spa and booked massages. Massages were good. Indoor pool was barely used as no one wanted to be indoors in the basement. 7. We had a disappointing incident whereby housekeeping left a dirty towel which we discovered as we opened it before a shower ( photo below). We showed the photo on check-out and staff did apologise but that’s about it. 8. Some staff were good but some quite surly and stiff like the spa receptionist. 9. There is a real contrast to the ambience on Saturday night when place was buzzing due to non resident guests compared to Sunday night when the place was literally dead. A few guests were walking around on Sunday evening trying to find some atmosphere. We ended up going out for dinner to a lovely local restaurant. 10. Worth knowing for families that there isn’t a door between the bedroom and bathroom. Maybe some rooms do offer it but ours didn’t. Overall a mixed experience and a bit deflating considering it is part of Relais & Chateax. There is so much potential in this place which needs to be tapped into.

My partner and I stayed at Capelongue for our honeymoon and had the most perfect time! We were greeted with a lovely bottle of rosé champagne to kick off our romantic stay. First, the space and surroundings are absolutely breathtaking and instantly relaxing. Beyond the stunning natural landscape, the interior designers and architects truly left no stone unturned with this building. We were blown away by every little detail that made the space feel natural yet elevated. Next, the incorporation of local products, produce, and wines made us feel like we lived in the region. More than anything else, though, we felt wholly taken care of by the phenomenally kind, caring, and courteous staff members. Somehow they made sure we had everything we could possibly need without us noticing, making our lives feel joyous and easy every day. We must give a major shoutout to Marco who is an absolutely lovely person. He greeted us with kindness and made us feel like he was as happy to be there as we were. We can also not speak highly enough about Lauren, sommelier. Lauren could not be a more charismatic and lovely person to speak with, and she is trailblazing the wine industry. Her selected wine pairings for our incredible dinner at La Bastide blew us away. Her knowledge and passion for wine is unmatched. We will be back just to reconnect with her next summer! Finally, the location is fantastic if you are looking to do some exploring in the region. We visited Roussillon, Gordes, Bonnieux, Lacoste, and Lourmarin to explore their local markets and restaurants, and easily traveled to Seneca Abby to see the lavender fields. Could not recommend Capelongue more!

Mazan is not very famous in southern France. It is one of many small towns. But it's right on the way to Sault. That is to say, on the way to the lavender tour. The hotel was formerly the private residence of a local lord and was later transformed into a hotel. The public areas of the hotel are decorated with French neoclassical elegance and romance, but the interiors of the rooms are relatively simple. The classic rooms do not even have a decent table, and the bathroom only has a separate tub in the middle of the room. , relatively inconvenient. We booked a classic room. Maybe because we were Asians, we arranged it in the north-facing location closest to the storage room. We wanted to change it but failed. They said that the room I booked only had this orientation. The question is, are there only one or two classic rooms? ? Unless you add another 79 euros, you can change to another room. Later I found out that I was still on the same floor after paying extra. Changing the direction in such a remote place would cost so much that we rationally gave up. However, I have to say that the lobby manager of the hotel is very dedicated. We needed to print our boarding passes when we left the hotel. It happened to be a very busy check-out time. He really tried his best to help us, which reflected the gentleness of a French gentleman and the hotel. Professionalism of managers.

We stayed 2 nights here in July. The hotel is in a great location. 2 minutes walk to the commercial shops, grocery, and nice restaurants. It’s on a street with shady trees that brings the romantic French feeling. The owner Frederic is very knowledgeable and efficient. Our car was towed due to the damage caused by thief. He helped us to communicate with the road assistance and rental company, and found us the replacement car the same day on Sunday which is normally not possible. We really appreciate his kindness, patience and thoughtfulness. We will definitely come back if we are in the region again. Thank you Frederic.
