โรงแรมและสปา Le Couvent des Minimes L'Occitane

This Relais & Chateaux property is magnificent! The lobby of the hotel occupies the former chapel at the convent and the space is stunning. Our rooms were incredible. The hotel has recently been renovated and it is spectacular. Breakfast was included in the rate I had booked and it was wonderful. Hotel has a L’Occitane Spa which was amazing. I cannot use enough adjectives to describe this phenomenal establishment. WE WILL BE BACK!

One of my best hotel experience ever ! First and the most important, the staff is amazing (The sommelier lady, Corentin from the Gastro restaurant) and in every department. We always say, staffing is complicate in France, well they do it very well in this hotel. 2nd amazing point is the architecture and decoration, all is perfect ! 3rd, the food, wow. Of course the Michelin Star 7 courses menu is a must, and what an experience. But also the Breakfast, nothing is missing and the "normal"restaurant also is a great experience. And 4th point, the SPA, amazing water experience, amazing massage. Fabien Piacentino, I did not manage to see you during my check out (thank you for greating us a check in), but you must be an amazing GM to reach this level of service everywhere. Thank you so much !

This is, quite simply, a stunning hotel. The work that has been done in terms of restoration of a heritage building (my professional interest), interior design and attention detail is remarkable but must have cost a small fortune. Our room (deluxe terrace) was large and full of light. The bar is an amazing space, again filled with light. The spa is probably one of the best I have visited (I’m an ex member of Gleneagles) and swimming in the Nordic pool early on chilly late November mornings was a treat my husband and I will remember for a long time. We didn’t eat in the gastronomic restaurant but had a couple of meals in the Bistro and I would really recommend the lunch menu served during the week. Breakfasts, which are included in the room price, were very good. All the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Hire an electric bike and explore the area. Visit the L’Occitane factory (and if you’re an English speaker as for your guide to be Olivier). The recommendations for lunches outside the hotel were excellent. There is some criticism that the hotel is an Instagram oasis and I guess in some ways it is. We arrived on a Sunday and felt we were way outside the desired demographic, but once they had all gone home on Monday morning the hotel, its staff and its facilities were perfect. We’ve already booked for a stay en route to skiing in March.

The Provence is one of my favorite places specially in lavender season , I have stayed in this hotel few years ago and was an amazing experience then it was closed for renovations , this July I stayed at the hotel in its new look , it was and it is now the best , the architecture and the interior design are beautiful, the rooms are spacious, the service and hospitality are beyond perfection, I highly recommend it

The hotel is a wonderful conversion of the ancient convent. It is clear that mountains of money, but also tons of taste, were expended in achieving it. The result is sublime: like living in a beautiful château, except comfortable. As for the spa, it is superb, the best we’ve seen (and we’ve seen a few). It would impress a Roman emperor (if there were more slaves). We didn’t benefit from the huge outdoor pool or the terraces, since we were there in winter, but they would be a delight in warm weather. Someone has done a terrific job in assembling and training a rather young staff of charming and intelligent people. From the parking attendants to the receptionists, and from the waiters and waitresses to the exceptional sommelière (Ms. Pauline), there wasn't a one that we wouldn’t happily adopt and take home with us. The buffet breakfast: simply the best (really). The hotel has its own full-time boulanger, as well as a pastry chef. Okay, full disclosure: the coffee could be better. There is (of course) a gourmet restaurant (we can all imagine what that’s like), as well as a “bistro" on the premises. (Fortunately, since the local village doesn’t offer much at all.) The bistro serves mainly fanciful haute cuisine; we would have preferred that it be more authentically bistro-like, with some classic bistro-type food (steaks, daubes, foie gras, magret, confit de canard…yes, maybe even french fries!). It goes to show: even paradise can stand to be tweaked a bit.

Terrible experience. Heavy construction underway. Fire doors slamming indiscriminately causing personal injury. Booked rooms not available. Bullying manager. Extremely overpriced for an unfinished hotel.
