LA BASTIDE DE GORDES

By my reckoning, this is the most beautiful hotel in europe for summer!

A truly delightful experience in a place full of charm.
We were warmly welcomed , the hospitality was exceptional.
We absolutely love Provence, and the Luberon holds a special place in our hearts. This visit only confirmed it once again !

Un lieu d’exception, hors du temps.
Séjourner à l’Airelles de Gordes est une expérience inoubliable, digne des plus beaux contes de Provence. Dès l’arrivée, on est frappé par la beauté spectaculaire du cadre, la vue imprenable sur le Luberon, et le raffinement discret qui imprègne chaque détail de l’hôtel.

Le lieu est à la fois mythique, grandiose et profondément apaisant. L’histoire du château se mêle parfaitement au confort moderne, et chaque instant passé là-bas semble suspendu dans le temps.

J’ai eu la chance d’y séjourner à deux reprises avec ma famille, et à chaque fois, l’émotion est la même. Ce sera toujours mon hôtel préféré au monde.

Le service est irréprochable, attentionné sans jamais être envahissant, et l’ensemble de l’expérience est tout simplement magique.
Un bijou d’élégance et d’authenticité — un endroit à vivre au moins une fois dans sa vie.

This is our fifth and final day at this exceptional hotel—and I truly wish we could stay longer.||From the start, communication was flawless. José provided outstanding assistance in the weeks leading up to our stay, helping to organize everything from a wine tour, to a hot air balloon ride over the lavender fields, to restaurant reservations, and much more. His responsiveness and attention to detail made planning effortless.||Upon arrival, we were not disappointed—our room exceeded expectations in every way. One of the most delightful surprises were the thoughtful nightly turndown service. Rather than the typical chocolates or cookies, we were gifted unique, memorable keepsakes that will always remind us of this special stay.||The twice-daily housekeeping service was flawless, and the entire staff—from the front desk to every team member we encountered—was consistently warm, professional, and attentive. It’s no surprise, as we had the pleasure of meeting Angela Kruez, the hotel’s director, on several occasions. Her friendly, approachable manner sets the tone for the entire team, and it’s clear her leadership is reflected throughout the property.||As far as the food, breakfast each morning was simply outstanding—both the quality of the food and the impeccable service were five-star.||We also dined at the hotel’s Italian restaurant, La Bastide de Pierres, where we enjoyed an excellent salad and pizza. Another evening, we had cocktails and sushi at Le Tigre, also located at the hotel, which did not disappoint.||If you have the chance to enjoy the pool you will probably run into Tom - one of the hardest working pool attendants I have met. Also if you have lunch by the pool, don’t pass up the Club Sandwich—it’s easily one of the best I’ve ever had. ||Today, we also had the opportunity to experience the hotel’s outstanding spa. From the moment we arrived, Annabel at the reception desk greeted us with warmth and professionalism, setting the perfect tone. The treatments themselves were exceptional—Valentine delivered one of the best deep tissue massages I’ve ever had, and my wife thoroughly enjoyed both her relaxing massage and rejuvenating facial with Melissa. Each therapist was not only highly skilled but also made the entire experience feel personalized and luxurious.||La Bastide de Gordes is truly something special, and we are already looking forward to returning on our next trip to Provence!

Though the virtue of a hotel and its stars lie in its grander, location, ambience , Resturant’s , pools , the spa and La Bastide de Gordes Arielle's hotels aces in all these accolade.

However at La Bastide de Gordes
Airelles hotels All other accolades are pale in comparison to the pleasant smiling faced stars , in the doorways , the hallways , behind the concierge desk reception desk, the restaurants , who are willing to pander to your every small whim , every desire and every need of their guests.
Although more often than not the guests entering the revolving doors of this La Bastide de Gordes Arielle's hotels are nobilities and celebrities who are familiar with feeling special but the personal At the abode on the hills of Gordes make even a common man like myself feel very special till they see their rooms.

It would be unfair not to mention a few exceptional individuals I met at the La Bastide de Gordes Airelles hotels .
The slim ,slender and sweet Genral manager Angela Kreuz was omnipresent and very omniscient. Elio Parente a Napoletano with perennial smile was very sincere in service and helpful in every possible way. He very willingly bend over his back to make sure there is not a furrow in your brow.
The dinning room management staff had excellence seethed in their manners and actions. The servers who is light on their feet and generous with smiles were quick in their service.

Having said all that praise of people I would still never ever come back to this hotel nor would I recommend it to any body at my Finacial and social station.
I can irrevocably state that my recommendation is that any one whose budget for a room is less than $5000 per night should never book in this hotel. If you desire to stay there despite reading my review you will find your stay at La Bastide de Gordes Airelles hotel an extremely humbling experience. You will feel like a serf to a serf in your room at the palace.

I was devastatingly disappointed at the rooms. I had booked two rooms at around 3000 euro’s per night per room . It would not at all be an exaggeration to state that the rooms were so small that one could not even turn around without hitting the walls. One had a toilet where even a very petite girl could hardly fit in the shower the other toilet had no toilet, I had to call reception who came and showed me the toilet is in the closet. The toilet had no sink so you have to open the closet and then go to the washroom to wash hands.
I doubt if any body other than the Madagascar and Malaysian maids, ever stayed in these rooms and those innocent souls have in their lexicon no words of complaints and thus no complaints.
This is not a palace for a working king but a Joséphe Jeanne Marie Antoinette whose dictionary lacks the word “budget”.
