"Wonderful hotel in a lovely setting, Provençal atmosphere, great food. We’ll come back!"

"Extremely Disappointing for a 4-Star Property We booked Le Palais d’Aglaé for our honeymoon, expecting a charming and relaxing escape with beautiful valley views. Unfortunately, what we received was a subpar experience that didn’t reflect a 4-star standard in service, hospitality, or comfort. Upon arrival, the front desk staff was far from welcoming, offering little assistance and a noticeably dismissive attitude. When we inquired about our room — which was supposed to have a valley view — we were instead given a room with two trees and a wall view (see attached photo). When we addressed the issue, we were told the hotel was full. However, rooms were still showing as available online, both on the hotel’s official site and on Expedia. Even after an Expedia representative called the hotel on our behalf, the staff refused to help or offer alternatives. To make matters worse, we were met with cold stares every time we passed the reception — not something any guest should experience, let alone during a honeymoon. The room itself felt like a dungeon, with minimal natural light and no ambiance — completely unsuitable for a romantic trip. Breakfast was equally disappointing. It was poorly organized, with missing utensils, almost no cooked food, and limited options (mostly pastries, bottled juice, and yogurt). We travel frequently, and this has been one of the most disappointing stays in France. The hotel is overpriced, overhyped. Would not recommend — we truly regret choosing "

"Beautiful property with excellent staff. Would definitely stay again."

"Service was a great, rooms were clean. Propert is well maintained. Breakfast could have been bit better, but good options. "

"The Suite Home Hotel is part of a chain with a less expensive hotel next to it with a shared reception. It’s functional as chains tend to be, but it’s not “charming.” There is a reasonably-priced buffet breakfast (9 Euros), but it’s very crowded with people crammed in there. Likewise, Apt is a small town without a lot of charm, but it has some good restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. Parking is excellent. You can park for free on the street or in the tourist office parking a short block away. They also have paid parking behind the hotel for 6 Euros per night."

"The staff were super friendly and the service was extremely good. The fine dining experience is a must. Thank you. "

"Lovely hotel. Room very comfortable and well equipped. Beautiful grounds with several seating areas and nice pool. Very good breakfast. Exceptional staff - all friendly and helpful. We had a very enjoyable stay and would highly recommend."

"Really enjoyed the property. Quaint villa property off the beaten path in the beautiful town of Gordes. Perfect location to explore the area. House is very comfortable and in great shape. Off season so didn't get to enjoy the pool but would be the perfect place to relax . Owner was very helpful and nice. "

"Whatever your expectations for a five star luxury hotel, this property exceeded them. We have never been treated so personally, so warmly, and so professionally. From the minute, we arrived by car, they expected us, handled the check-in, and moved us to the front desk, where we were welcomed personally. Our rooms and all of the many restaurants, spa experiences, and views were exceptional. Above all, the concierge service was fantastic from advising us before our stay, during our stay, to offering us navigation For our departure. I would highly recommend this property or any in the Arielle family of luxury resorts. We departed with welcome gifts that we will cherish forever. The only downside was having to compare our next hotels to La Bastide de Gordes!"
