ガリゲ アベイ ドゥ サント クロア(Garrigae Abbaye de Sainte Croix)

We arrived and were taken away by the beauty of the hotel and the surrounding area. Located on top of a hill the view from the gorgeous terrace of the valley below was stunning. The staff were all amazing. A very comfortable start to our vacation.

This place will forever stay in my heart and memory. We wanted to go back to it each day and admire the beautiful view and property. The staff is amazing, the food is great, our suite had a great view, was large and comfortable. Want to go again and again!

We had a lovely stay altogether. The only mishap we had was on our first night at the restaurant. The restaurant service was a disaster. We waited one and a half hours for our main plate apart from other issues. Although we complained there was no real feedback from their end which is a pity as the place is so beautiful.

What a fabulous stay! Staff extremely friendly and helpful The property is picturesque and the views absolutely amazing A step back in time with all the wonderful amenities Peaceful and very central area to stay in Provence

This is a beautiful hotel with history and character having been an old 12 th century monastery.Everywhere you went there was a glimpse of the medieval history. The room was charming and the well equipped- the private patio was wonderful! I dined 3 times in the restaurant the food was exquisite. Most of the staff were very helpful and when asked went out of their way to help or fix problems- especially Jeremie. I would like to return with my husband for a romantic stay. We will enjoy the spa there and a cocktail looking over the view😊 Just a couple of issues that could be addressed : it did get tiring explaining that I was a single person ( although married) traveling by herself. They never seemed to feel comfortable with my status until the end, especially at the restaurant. Also I am in my 60s and good health but the 36 narrow steps to get to my room were challenging - I could not bring up my large suitcase. Also There was also no landing at the top to safely stand when you wrestled with the old fashioned lock and several times I could have lost my balance and fallen back down stairs. Similarly the pool had steps up to pool and none to get in or out of pool. so people should check with hotel if they have mobility issues.

Appalling value for money in this badly managed hotel. The room was cheaply fitted out and dilapidated - cardboard cups in a hotel of this supposed quality. The external areas were amazingly unkempt, with no attempt to brush areas or tidy up. The planters on the dining terrace were full of dead flowers. The area adjacent to reception was filled with old trolleys full of dirty linen and an ancient coat rail - at the foot of the main staircase. The dining room window frames are totally rotted and are falling apart. To totally spoil my visit, my evening meal was dreadful - 2 small pieces of lamb edged with uncooked fat. As a final insult we were charged for 2 coffees that we didn't have. Our final bill of 401€ ( each of us only had 1 course at dinner ) was an outrage for this shabby second rate establishment. This stunning location deserves significantly better.

We spent a few days here between road trip spots. The hotel is very traditional and really beautiful, and has a great view over the countryside. Our rooms were different but both great, and we really enjoyed exploring the nearby towns - we visited Gordes and Lourmarin on two evenings and both were beautiful and under an hours' drive. Overall we had a great time, but we were a little let down by the food. The breakfast buffet didn't seem to be replenished over the course of the morning, so arriving at 9am usually meant the cooked food was already gone. We had one dinner in the hotel which was good, but we found too expensive for the quality we received.

We stayed 3 nights. St. Blaise had a no air-conditioning for the 90-degree weather and no air flow for the extremely humid bathroom. We were also awoken at 3am but drunk brits running naked through the halls screming. Subsequently we inquired about switching rooms (and were initially told the hotel was full), but were subsequently switched to St. Frederick which had two functioning A/C's and multiple windows for a cross breeze. Would definitely return but would call the hotel to confirm the room.

Beautiful experience! Property is so unique and picturesque. We had balcony with chairs to enjoy sunset . Pool was nice . Great breakfast and views are amazing. We really enjoyed it and highly recommend!
