“Good home base, but not a luxury hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 3, 2013

St. Remy was perfect...it is centrally located for day trips around provence and the town itself is really special. There are many great restaurants and shops to browse through.

As for the hotel, I am torn. It's not spectacular by any means. Having traveled from the Grand Hotel du Cap Ferrat on the coast, we were underwhelmed to say the least. The positives are that the location is great...you can walk to the town during the day (if adventurous, even at night, but there is a portion of the walk that is not lit by street lights, so I did not walk after dark). Also, the restaurant at the hotel is decent. The hotel is just not that great. The rooms are clean, but the bed is hard...not comfy at all. The spa was closed for renovations while we were there, but we were not told until we checked in...and that also meant, no access to the exercise room, as well. The staff was pleasant enough, but certainly not tripping over themselves with hospitality. There were nice touches, like the champagne upon arrival and switching our room on request, but they pretty much left us alone otherwise. I realize this is not always a bad thing, but if you are looking for dining suggestions and help in general, I would suggest you inquire elsewhere. The cleaning staff was extremely accommodating and sweet.

I think this place is fine if you are not looking for a 4 or 5 star experience and just need a good, reliable place to call home base. However, when we return, I would consider renting a villa instead.

“A nice time !”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

We stayed at this hotel for a week in september 2012. It was a pleasant stay, beautifull and clean room. It was at the back of the hotel but who cares.
Breakfast was excellent. Staff was ALWAYS friendly.
We will some day return and hope the service will be the same. We had a nice time !

“Crisp room, excellent breakfast buffet, polite and courteous staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 9, 2012

We stayed at the hotel for two nights with a tour group. did not actually spend a lot of time at the hotel as we were out and about visiting the area. We had a great dinner here at the Michelin star restaurant. The breakfast buffet was excellent. Good choices, self service.

Were greeted by smiling staff upon arrival. Our room was modern and clean. Actually a nice change from the upscale hotels we have stayed in before on tours. Would stay there again if the opportunity arises.

Room Tip: I think that there may be some rooms not refurbished. Ours was and it was fine.

“A disappointment”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 2, 2012

This hotel is known for its chef, who lives up to his reputation with an excellent 1 star restaurant and bistro. The staff is courteous and helpful, and the rooms modern in an attractive way. Ours had a balcony looking out at the Alpilles. Unfortunately, Valrugues is almost completely devoid of character, or charm. Especially in this part of the world a hotel must be more than a collection of rooms. Access to St Remy, the Luberon and Glanum are fine. However, when not running around Gordes, there is nothing available here other than a hotel room, which begins to take on the impression of a prison ward from a Solzhenitsyn novel after a few days The grounds are confined to a small pool area, there is one miniature and prosaic sitting room, the entrance foyer is a desk area with the feel of the half price ticket booth in Liecester Square, and the owners response - a local family I've been told - is to add more bed chambers Other reviews on this site adequately add to and reinforce the general impression I convey. I might only add, by all means come for the food, but stay at Chateau D'Alpilles. Please.

Room Tip: Chateau d' Alpilles

“Excellent Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 1, 2012

The loggia rooms are a quite compact and the junior suites are really not worth the extra money. Make sure you get a refurbished room - there are a few that need upgrading and are best avoided. The main restaurant is superb and to be highly recommended. The centre of St Remy is only a 10 min walk away if you want to go out for dinner and avoid drink driving. The pool is of sufficient size to swim lengths but the sun loungers can be hard to come in high season - mainly because selfish guests reserve a place before going out for the day in order to ensure they can catch some rays upon return. Drink service by the pool could be improved - one often had to hunt down a waiter. There is an excellent large screen TV which was great for the Olympics! All the staff were friendly and helpful and really went the extra mile. Penelope was particularly outstanding.
