Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Heated outdoor pool open year-round (a rarity in the region)
- Free private parking—a logistical goldmine in car-hostile Gordes
- Intimate, family-run vibe with only 22 rooms
Resumen rápido: A polished, reliable 4-star base camp that trades a bit of road noise for a price tag that won't bankrupt you.
Reseñado por @littlewanderingwren: I found this to be the perfect quiet escape just outside the bustle of Gordes. The pool area is absolutely stunning—I spent hours there. While the rooms are traditional, the breakfast on the terrace with valley views made my mornings unforgettable. A true slice of Provence.
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí
Reality check
The '15-minute walk' is technically true but feels longer in the heat, and the road noise by the pool breaks the 'total silence' illusion for some.
- You're renting a car and dread the Gordes parking nightmare
- You want a pool that's actually warm enough to swim in during shoulder season
- You prefer a casual 'guest house' feel over stiff luxury hotels

Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos
Todo lo que realmente quieres saber antes de reservar.
Is the pool actually heated in winter?
Technically yes, the hotel claims it's heated year-round, but it's outdoors. Realistically, it's best for extending the season (April-October), not for a January swim.
How far is the walk to Gordes?
About 1.6km (1 mile). It takes 15-20 minutes. It's uphill going into town and downhill coming back.
Is there a gym?
No. There is no fitness center on site. Your workout is the walk to the village.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, it is pet-friendly. The fee is €15 per pet, per night.
Is there parking?
Yes, free private parking is included. This is a huge perk in Gordes where public lots are expensive and crowded.
Do they serve dinner?
No full dinner service. They have a snack bar serving cold plates and paninis from 12pm to 9:30pm.
Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
Ask for a room facing the internal courtyard fountain for the most 'Provencal' soundscape.
- ✨
The 'solarium' is just a fancy word for the sun deck—get there by 11am in July to snag a prime chair.
- ✨
You can rent electric bikes directly from the hotel to explore the Village des Bories (just 1.8km away).
5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The 'snack bar' food is decent but basic—don't rely on it for a romantic meal.
💡The walk to town has a specific 'footpath' section that offers a stunning photo op of Gordes that most tourists miss.
💡The WiFi can be spotty in the garden areas.
💡There is no elevator, so be prepared to carry bags if you're on the first floor (though staff helps).
💡The 'Petit Mas' room feels like your own private Airbnb but with hotel service.
