Airelles Gordes, La Bastide

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!

Amazing stay! Booked based on Travel & Leisure reco and wasn’t let down (again). The staff was amazing. The property is stunning and the views are incredibly beautiful. Would definitely return. Elio in the concierge was super helpful and very friendly. I appreciate all his help before and during our stay. 10/10

Really lovely. The staff were excellent and service was superb.

This hotel is one of the most outstanding French regional hotels I have stayed in. The room was large with a very comfortable bed, and spacey bathroom. A huge collection of gifts, edible and otherwise, was supplied for you to take home. The buffet breakfast displayed a huge choice of interesting food. Definitely a must have experience in a charming hillside town. zSteaff were always very helpful.

We booked Airelles La Bastide for a weekend summer break as it’s a fairly short drive from home. Although we had a good stay I’m not sure we’ll be back, especially not in summer. There is not enough beds at the pool and guests seem to reserve them from early in the morning by placing personal items on the beds - some which sit there for hours and hours until the guests decide to go down and actually use them. So books and sunscreen had a better holiday than we did most of the time! So bear this in mind if you go, because we didn’t know and so were without beds for our first day! The staff servicing the pool area don’t seem in control of this at all - fellow guests saw beds lay empty all day, but because there was a personal item on the bed, the pool guys won’t let anyone use it. The restaurants/food and breakfast was great, but service during breakfast is very slow. Be sure to sit on the terrace closest to the breakfast buffet, because they will forget you completely if seated on the left hand side terrace. Our room was nice, close to the pool, but the walls were awfully thin. We were neighboured with a suite and so heard children crying non stop - as if they were in our room. The same happened when a family with a dog checked in and left the dog in the room alone from early morning. It was screaming and distressed which was awful to hear. Management moved us to another room for the night which was a relief. All in all, good but not great and probably won’t be back.
