The water is truly as turquoise as in this photo, magnificent. I'd love to share some tips if I had any but sadly I didn't spend much time in this area. However, Moustiers-Sainte-Marie is a stunning small village close to Verdon and is well worth a visit after a day exploring, swimming or climbing. #canyon #water #river #france #bucketlist](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6139599/53498c1a-b688-4770-b87e-cf99fa82deab.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Lac de Sainte Croix 58 min drive \- 22.7 miles - Château Carpe Diem 3 min walk \- 0.2 miles - Sanctuaire Notre-Dame de Graces 11 min walk \- 0.6 miles - Lac de Carces 21 min drive \- 8.2 miles - Thoronet Abbey 23 min drive \- 11.0 miles ### Getting around - Brignoles Station 28 min drive - Toulon (TLN-Toulon - Hyeres) 77 min drive ### Restaurants - Le Temps De Pose 4 min walk - Le Central 8 min drive - La Castellane 9 min drive - la tuf - Restaurant du Cours 2 min walk ## About this property ### Lou Calen Retreat Hotel near Château Carpe Diem Located close to Sanctuaire Notre-Dame de Graces, Lou Calen Retreat provides a terrace, a coffee shop/cafe and a garden.

Starting with the check-in staff as they were so accommodating. The entire staff is extremely nice, helpful and friendly. I dont know for certain but it appears to be a family-run property. Our rooms were very nicely-appointed, very clean and most of all extremely modern. We were thrilled with our stay there ##### Lynden Obafemi Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nikita 28 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### One of the best resorts we’ve stayed at Amazing staff and stay! The hotel is beautiful, nestled in the centre of Cotignac and overlooking the beautiful hills. ##### Nikita Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elaine 13 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities A magical place for a family vacation. Staff (especially Anthony at front desk☺) were wonderful. We booked 2 rooms, which were incredibly spacious and unique. Perfect location in Cotignac,a couple minutes walk away from boutiques and many restaurants. We loved our stay and highly recommend Lou Calen! ##### Elaine Stayed 7 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### emma rajkovic 3 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A suoer charming elegant local property that makes you feel like youre staying with your grandma.

The front desk was very accommodating. It rained and made the steps really slippery and I fell one night. Other than the distance and uphill walk, I recommend. ##### Stephanie Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica 23 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This is hands down the most beautiful hotel I ever have stayed at and I travel often. We were here for our friends wedding. From the start Jade and Anthony were so helpful and communicative throughout our 3 day/2 night stay. The amenities throughout the hotel were wonderful and inside of our hotel room as well. The atmosphere surrounding the hotel (mountains, views, location, etc.) was absolutely stunning and remarkable. I could not recommend staying here more and we are looking forward to coming back to Lou Calen in the future- thank you again for a wonderful vacation! ##### Jessica Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Molly 28 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities A nice resort with beautiful grounds, but very difficult to find. There were lots of technical features in the room but a decent amount didn’t work or were too confusing to operate. Our room was also in a construction area and not very easy to get too. The view from the balcony was beautiful. Parking was complicated, the hotel lot was full and other parking options were limited and far. Restaurant on site was booked out for the entire weekend and we were not informed ahead of time, but the surrounding area had nice places with wonderful food. ##### Molly Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie Laure 15 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Site magnifique bel hôtel récent bien mis en valeur dans un jardin très agréable. ##### Marie Laure Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laurent 20 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Une parenthèse nature et luxe dans un charmant village provençal.

Selve området var smukt og personalet var meget venligt og hjælpsomt, hvilket klart trækker oplevelsen op. Flot og velholdt poolområde. Mulighed for gratis opladning af elbil. Gode initiativer som vandflasker til genopfyldning, det havde været godt med mulighed for affaldssortering. Selve lejligheden var dog meget fugtig pga grotten, hvilket tydeligt kunne lugtes i tøjet og mærkes på mængden af myg. Der er lille køkken som godt kunne bruge bare lidt mere basisudstyr fx en gryde - personalet var dog venlige til at skaffe det. Der blev ikke gjort rent de dage vi var der, der var en del spindelsvæv i hjørner og kroge. Man har egen terrasse i rolige omgivelser. Vi boede der tre nætter, det var et helt unikt hotel og en meget spændende og anderledes oplevelse, men færre nætter havde nok været bedre. ##### Anna Julie Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ANTOINE 11 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Original Original mais si accueillant.
