Everything about this place is outstanding; the welcome on arrival, the decor, the rooms, the view, the attention to detail, everything is hand made, the tranquil setting, the food which focusses on flavour and run by renowned chef who is eager to exploit the food of the region. Think 'slow food' meets Raymond Blanc. You are eating dishes where every... More

+++ + the decor - outstanding! Every item is carefully thought through down to the smallest detail in Provence style. Even the TV set, which does not belong to Provence style was concealed in a mirror. Amazing! + the room called Blanche had a very large bathroom with two windows. Looked more like a separate room and had amazing old... More

An excellent place for a getaway in Provence, surroundings are fantastic with breathtaking views if you drive up along the gorge. The village itself is very pleasant and laidback. We stayed in the Abeille room and it was really nice and lovely. The food is outstanding and be prepared to eat alot if you go for the set menus, the... More

An excellent 'haut cuisine' restaurant, especially considering the price, which is very reasonable for this type of food. Everything was great, and the desert was divine. You may want to but some olive oil in their shop, it si very good, too. Fortunately, you can walk off the consequences of too much eating by taking a hike in the beautiful... More

Stayed one night during our trip around Provence. The general location is nice, but do not expect any particular views especially from the room. We were allocated the room #05Rose, which opened into a tiny poorly kept garden. I hope that the situation has improved since our stay in May, but at that time the grounds in general looked depressing... More

Moustiers Saint Marie is on the west side of the Gorges du Verdon. The town itself, famous for pottery, is lovely. La Bastide de Moustiers is a small boutique hotel just outside of town. We stayed in one of the free-standing cottages: magnificently furnished, comfortable, with real rustic elegance. Without question, the nicest place that we stayed during our week... More

I'll start with the restaurant as I was most impressed this... a seasonal tasting menu with much of the produce grown onsite served in the main building by professional and efficient staff. This was some of the best food i have tasted for the price of the menu and the setting. We stayed here for 2 nights in the Coquelicot... More

Alaine Ducasse at his best - unpretentious, simple and the freshest of local ingredients simply cooked. Octopus salad with edible flowers and herbs from the garden. Tete de veau with 3 different sorts of courgettes once again from the garden. Superb Provence wine and the most excellent breakfast imaginable with homemade croissant / preserves / breads and by far the... More

I have terminal cancer and my sister treated me to a trip of a lifetime to France. We had booked La Bastide months in advance and had emailed the chef twice as to my dietary requirements since I have special needs. They responded by stating that they would be more than happy to accomodate my needs...great. We had booked for... More
