Rasteau Holidays from £475

Well situated, clean, and good staff.

Pros: The hotel is in an amazing quiet area. Very peaceful and absolutely breathtaking hills, lavender...It’s a 15 minute walk to Bonnieux a charming simple and quiet village. Also, 15 minute drive to Lourmarin, a more vibrant village with a great little center with restaurants and shops. The room was great, super comfortable for our family of 4. Breakfast, pricey but worth it. CONS: 1. it is not SMOKE FREE hotel as listed on Expedia. We chose this hotel because it said smoke-free and my husband is very sensitive to smoke and we found that you can smoke anywhere in the hotel premises except inside. Therefore, the pool area, the beautiful terraces and gardens were taken by smokers. Secondly, the restaurant (La Bergerie) is all open so you have people sitting right next to you that are smoking even if you are inside. 2. La Bergerie- we wanted to have lunch here and the table next to us was smoking so we ask if it was possible to close the window so we could eat without the smoke in our face and they said no. We also tried to have dinner and although there were few people having dinner they said that we could not have dinner there which if you are staying at the hotel the only place to eat. We end up not been able to eat dinner at all because they said they could fit us at 9:30 but our kids were tired. This is a big issue because there is no place to eat at all, you can’t buy a baguette down the street or a snack bar. Also, the manager at The Bergerie was very rude.

It’s a beautiful historic property , uniquely nested within nature - it’s a dream . I would highly recommend anyone with discerning taste , to stay at Château de Fonscolombes . This establishment is an experience , a destination worth the trip. Unlike a hotel, it offers you the opportunity to enjoy the surroundings. In fact , we had the pleasure of using the Chateau bikes. It was my first time on a bicycle and I really enjoyed my site seeing journey. The property is raw , yet beautiful. I should also mention the exceptional service of the staff . Everyone was so polite , and professional . The room selected did not disappoint , best view for sure . Every detail in the room was appreciated . From the tiny little music box on the night stand to the chef little Madeline treats which we all enjoyed upon entering . However , the nicest thing about the room was its high ceilings and large windows . I was able to open all my windows and enjoy the fresh air from both ends of the bedroom . That said ,if you’re looking for something intimate , to relax get away from everyday stress this is the place for you . I also recommend trying the restaurant , the Chef just received his first Michelin Star and I’m certain he will make this restaurant among the best restaurants in France . Every dish served was not only beautifully plated , you could actually taste the freshness of the vegetables. I’m giving this experience a 5 - STAR . Thank you , and see you next year ! G.D.S

The hotel is a perfect place for what we wanted. Street restaurants and shopping all around the Hotel. The staff is amazing and attentive.

Loud music vibrates through the bed head wall for hours from the next door hotel. Room 205. Advertised as “all rooms have air conditioning” but the switch on the wall is not connected. Room temperature was about 12 degrees.
