Independent, Route de la Lavande hotels

"A perfect place to stay in Provence! Beautiful grounds and very quiet. The staff were so helpful and lovely. Location was perfect - a short walk into town. Highly recommend this hotel."

"The staff was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. The location of the hotel is excellent — right in the heart of the Verdon region, perfect for exploring the gorges and nearby villages. We really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the beautiful surroundings."

"Amazing location and incredible staff, who were always so helpful and courteous - even when our poor French confused them! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to get away and switch off "

"Clean and confortable room. The property has a green area and a nice pool. Staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good, but it could have more fruit options. There is pizza and drinks available during the evening, which was really convenient. There are also restaurants at walking distance. I definitely recommend the stay!"

"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 "
