Vaucluse Hotels with Breakfast

This is a shocking villa hotel very close to the stone city. The villa has two oversized cedars. The couple runs it. The people are very good. The hotel is beautiful and clean. The room is also 360-degree view. Even the toilet has a view. I am the least fond of writing reviews because I am not a blogger. Xiaohongshu also writes a lot. Very good to provide reference. This is my favorite one since my trip. The unique geographical environment and design style are simply magical. So unreal, but it really exists. I have lived in a very luxurious brand hotel. All kinds of boutique design hotels. Nothing that touched me so much.

The owner and host Pascal is very warm, eager to please, excitable and very outgoing. There is a happy hour for guests and Pascal everyday and it is nice to make friends with other guests. A very nice breakfast is good included daily. A short 5-8 minute drive to the lovely but crowded town of L'Isle sur la Sorgue. Pascal helped us book last minute dinner reservations in L'isle sur la Sorgue, which isn't easy to do last minute in September. We especially enjoyed Le Jardin du Quai. Only a four course with no choices at 52 Euros pp. We enjoyed it so much we ate there our last two nights. The ”resort” is in an old Carmelite building that has had refurbishment. It is more rustic Provencal than contemporary. There is an outside covered fairly extensive exercise room, a nice pool, and a very peaceful feel outside on the property. The bees at breakfast were bothersome but nobody got stung and they seemed benign. The clientele was international, but more than 1/2 French. Pascal speaks and understands English well. Les Carmes is quite different than most other places in the region. It reminds me a bit of the Golden ages of travel in the 1950s. It is the opposite of sterile and has a real heart and center.

The hotel is very good. You can fail to pass the service of Trip.com. The hotel generally emails in advance to ask if the guests want to order dinner, but because Trip.com did not give our information to the hotel, we didn't have any food there. It is recommended that friends who see this evaluation go to the E or B website to book!

Everything was pretty good. It's right next to the train station, and there's a bus stop downstairs (you can take the 707 to Van Gogh's asylum in Saint-Rémy). It's also quite close to attractions, making it very convenient to get around. However, why was I charged the city tax twice? The first time, after I paid, the money was deducted, but then they said the system hadn't received it and told me to check the next day if I needed to pay again. The next day, they still said they hadn't received it, so I paid a second time. I was inexplicably charged twice. Even though the city tax is only €1.76, it made me feel very uncomfortable, as if I was trying to avoid paying it. This is the first time I've ever been charged twice for a single person. Luckily, the room environment was good. I'd advise everyone to pay the city tax in cash and keep the receipt to avoid them saying they haven't received it again 😅

The hotel is quite close to the train station, about a five-minute walk. It offers good value for money, featuring a small garden with lots of flowers. While it's a bit of a distance to the Palais des Papes and Pont Saint-Bénézet, it's still walkable, taking about 15 minutes, with many restaurants along the way. The hotel service was decent, including luggage storage. However, they initially only provided two bottles of water for three people, and I had to ask for an extra one. The room itself was spacious and clean, but the air conditioning was a major drawback. Despite trying to figure out the controls for a long time, the temperature wouldn't drop. In the middle of the night, I had no choice but to open the double-glazed windows facing the street, which then brought in noise and raised security concerns. I considered contacting the front desk, but decided against it since I was only staying for one night.

The hotel is located at the city gate. The room we stayed in was a modern modular structure. The room was spacious and had separate wet and dry areas. After the elevator arrived, there was still half a floor left to carry luggage. The hotel parking spaces were at the back entrance of the hotel, so if you were driving, you needed to locate the back entrance of the hotel in advance.

The sheets were only clean cuz they outsourced the cleaning to another company who does the job well. For this price, you need to put your own sheets and set up your own bed, AND still have to send it downstairs (didn’t seem mandatory but encouraged). My ceiling walls were peeling, my bunk bed frame made of cold metal, and the tap was hard to control — water kept flowing out even if we pressed the knob lightly. I slept well on the first night but on the second, homeless people were screaming and harassing a girl, woke my roommates up and we weren’t sure if we should call the police. You’re better off another hostel. Breakfast variety was ok.

The hotel is close to the high-speed rail station and a 40-minute drive from Arles. A Carrefour supermarket is a 5-minute drive away. The rooms are quiet and clean, with a kitchenette for simple cooking. Purified water and sparkling water are available on the first floor of the hotel. There is public parking in the back.

Towels cost €3. It was quite clean, thanks to the woman at reception who receives guests and cleans even in the evenings. Overall, it was very, very good for an F1 Hotel compared to other hotels in the chain.

The overall environment is very good, the hotel is not big, but all the details are in place. The cleaning is also very timely every day, and the room is clean and meticulous. The hotel's restaurant is a local private kitchen, breakfast and dinner are provided every day, and the taste is also very good. There is a white-haired female manager wearing glasses, especially enthusiastic, when the meal is almost over, the chef will come out to say hello to everyone, ask about the taste of the dishes. The only dissatisfaction is that we have a family room. A double bed upstairs is very comfortable, but the sofa bed downstairs is uneven after opening. It is particularly uncomfortable to sleep. The child and mother sleep upstairs. I have not slept well for three nights downstairs.
