Hotel les Bories & Spa Map, Address, Transportation & Nearest Stations and Airport

La Bastide has become one of my top 3 favorite hotels of all time. This was my first visit, and it certainly won't be my last. I had no idea it was built into the hillside and that it was right in the middle of the village of Gordes. ARRIVAL. From the moment we drove up until the moment we were left to unpack in our room, the service and personal attention we received was impeccable and perfectly executed. ROOM. We stayed in the exquisite Baron de Simiane suite. Words can't do it justice. I've attached a few photos, but also check out the website. The in-person experience far exceeds any gorgeous photo taken. SERVICE. We received top-notch service everywhere: valet, front desk, concierge, maid service, restaurant staff, and the pool. Everyone was very polite and helpful, and there was never a wait. RESTAURANTS. We ate at both restaurants - Clover Gordes and L'Orangerie. The outdoor seating and the views were fantastic. I tried something new at Clover Gordes - the Zucchini Flower - which was quite tasty. In Provence, they certainly love their olive oil. Be prepared to try many kinds. Note: If you watched ”Emily in Paris” on Netflix, the lunch scene in season 3, episode 6, was at the Clover Gordes. POOL. It was really hot the week we were there (103 degrees Fahrenheit). We spent one afternoon at the pool. It's a grassy setting with its own self-serve gelato stand. SPA. We didn't have time to experience the spa this time. Next time. WHAT I LIKED MOST. The location, the beauty, and the aroma throughout the hotel. I figured out that the scent was from the Airelles Holy Amber candles and diffusers. SUGGESTIONS. Plan to be there on a Tuesday so that you can experience the farmer's market in Gordes - right up the street from the hotel.

We really enjoyed Le Phébus & Spa -- it is a very relaxing place that has outstanding food and service. All of the staff that we interacted with were friendly and helpful, and they understood and addressed any of our questions/concerns. Our room was very spacious and comfortable (with great AC!!). We had the prestige suite and we highly recommend this room. It has a private patio with a pool and sun beds, which we really enjoyed. We ate all our breakfasts on the terrace. The room is quite comfortable and well serviced twice daily - fresh water provided each day. Plenty of towels, including towels for the pool! Comfortable bed and bedding. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, although most days we did not get exactly what we ordered it was always tasty! The SPA was great - I had a manicure and pedicure, which were wonderful. I wish I would have had enough time for a massage as well ..... Our meals were exceptional. We had a real surprise on our first night when the Cafe has such outstanding food and what a great value! On our second night we dined at the their one-starred -- La Table de Xavier Mathieu -- and it was fabulous. Each course was exceptionally creative - we had the discovery menu and especially liked the Sha-bu-Sha-bu and the veal with Tuna sauce, But all courses were delicious and creative reinventions on meals from around the world. Dessert also excellent. We loved Provence - especially the Luberon towns of Saignon, Rousillon, and Lourmanin (we had an outstanding lunch in Lourmanin!). On our second touring day, we visited Chateneuf de Pope for wine tasting had a fabulous lunch, and then the visited Avignon --- which is a lovely and lively town!! - and we had a fabulous dinner there. So we ate well throughout Provence! Overall, Le Phébus & Spa is an outstanding place and a great base to explore Provence, and we highly recommend!!!

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!

Hotel just outside Joucas is in a beautiful, quiet location and commanding amazing views across the Luberon valley. Perfect location to visit Gordes, Bonnieux, Menerbes and other stunning hilltop villages in this region. Staff were extremely friendly on check-in and in general throughout our 7 night stay. Our room was Superior Room but certainly not close to 5 star standard. Firstly many dings on the walls and scrapes from luggage. Easily fixed with a coat of paint but not done on our arrival. Also mould on bathroom tiling and grout where fixture had been removed. Pump soap and amenity dispensers found in the bathroom, rather than individual toiletries, always look cheap and appear to be counting pennies and trying to economize which I don’t expect in a true 5 star hotel. One 330ml of water per day during service also suggests same and another guest was seen complaining about this and comparing to other 5 star hotels. There appeared to be many helpful and friendly staff during our stay but service just did not seem great and somewhat unrefined, especially at breakfast, which seemed chaotic. On our last day, a Friday and likely busiest day, one poor guy was trying to service the whole of the breakfast terrace on his own. No pool service really either, so again, seemingly plenty of staff just not attending to 5 star expectations. Beautiful area, views and buildings at the hotel but just needs some refining, attention to detail and taking care of some key expectations to become truly 5 star.

We had a wonderful time staying at the beautiful Chateau de Mazan, the grounds and facilities are very elegant, the pool area with lots of shading trees was perfect for the 40 degree heat and the staff from the Hotel Manager to the, head waiter, reception staff and all the waiting staff we encountered from Breakfast to late night drinks, were all really friendly, helpful and a pleasure to deal with. we had lunch at the Bistro one day on our stay which was perfect, and Dinner a couple of times, the quality of the local food and the expertise of the chef was very evident. we loved everything about our stay and we will definitely be returning.

If you are exploring the hilly roads and villages of Luberon, you will come to Gordes, one of the most beautiful of those towns (although there are so many). Le Jas des Gordes sets a high standard for comfortable accommodations, just under a mile from the center. With beautifully manicured gardens, great breakfast, efficient staff and rooms with modern fixtures, this hotel blends history with great attention to detail. While we spent most of our stay exploring the surrounding area, the pool area with large covered seating is superb.
