Guest Reviews

• Arthur (9/5): -
• Michael (6/5): - cadre et hotel sympathique le petit déjeuner est passable pas digne d'un 5 étoiles
• Manuel (9/5): -
• Marta (6/5): - Espaço exterior, jardim Restaurante gourmet é uma grande desilusão, nada recomendável tanto pela qualidade dos pratos como pela exorbitância dos preços. A evitar
• Carla (9/5): -
• Lutz Alain (9/5): CE SERA MON POINT DE CHUTE DANS LA REGION - BON PETIT DEJEUNER PRODUITS FRAIS PROBABLE FAIT MAISON PRIX DISCUTABLE NOMBRE DE PRISES DANS LA CHAMBRE
• Colombani Tina (9/5): - Le lieu, l'accueil incroyable,la chambre magnifique,le petit déjeuner Tout était parfait
• Delphine (9/5): Charmant hôtel provençal - L'accueil, le service, la sympathie, la propreté, la beauté du lieu
• Andreea (4/5): The leopard is in the cage, but the cage is painted on the outside. - I like what I expected of this place, of the experience and of the service, based on the reputation of L’Occitane brand, of the Relais Chateaux and based on the excesive price. Written welcome note with name of the guest. Welcome message displayed on the TV screen with the name of the guest. Boiled eggs or omlette included in the price of breakfast. Unlimited time use of spa on the day of the departure Complimentary slippers for in room use ( not the flip flops for the spa) Bottle of water offered at check out. Box of complimentary local sweets offered upon departure. Free use of towels in the spa-more than one per guest Warm thermal water in the thermal water pool. Discreet and efficient and polite service of the staff. Efficiency and willingness to solve matters and descalate situations. Good maintanance of the gardens and planted areas, well irigated. Aromatic/ medicinal herbs with descriptions tablets in the potagers. Information regarding the history of the name of the stared restaurant. Offered L’Occitane cream for each of the guest and each of the days of stay at evening service. All these are meant to be read as reversed, just add a not, no, any etc All of these are standard in many luxury hotels, 5 star hotels and Relais Chateaux affiliated hotels.
• Emmanuelle (10/5): -
• Soline (8/5): -
• Kirsti (10/5): Fantasty - Only thing was that our room only had a bath tub and no shower
• Sylvie (10/5): -
• florent (8/5): - Les lieux et le cachet sont un vrai plus. Le coin spa intimiste est très agréable. Massage très agréable Le personnel est attentionné et de qualité. Les décorations de noël sont très réussies. Le restaurant est bien aménagé et personnel de qualité mais le rapport qualité prix est vraiment à déplorer. Les œufs mimosa à la poutargue à l' appellation alléchante se sont transformés en plat de cantine. Les autres plats sont plus goûteux mais avec peu de recherche et très chers. Idem pour le vin très cher pour ce que c est notamment un blanc de blanc à 90 euros sans plus... Dommage pour un 5 étoiles
• Stéphane (5/5): -
• lauren (9/5): - Personnel top !
• DENIS TOME (8/5): Une nuitée en déplacement affaire mais a refaire pour les vacaces - L'emplacement géographique, l'offre gastronomique Ce n'est pas un reproche mais un petit rafraîchissement s'impose pour un 5 étoiles.
• Boucrelle (8/5): -
• Eugène (10/5): j'y reviendrai - la gentillesse et le souci de bien faire du personnel. aucun reproche à faire
• Didier (9/5): -
• Rattini Moreau (10/5): -
• Sylvie (9/5): - le cadre l'ambiance
• 65janac (6/5): Beautiful setting - On our trip during 14 days through Southern France we book this trip as one off - to splurge and get spoiled for 5* hotel. However, we were quite dissapointed. This hotel was not better or perhaps even worst then some of the 3* properties we stayed and pay much less money. The room was very mediocre and nothing really special that would differentiate from the other less costly hotels we stayed. The only beautiful thing about this place was the outside the restaurant seating especialy at night when beautiful lit
• Pierrette (10/5): -
• Colombani Tina (9/5): -
• Alexandre (9/5): -
• rivka (7/5): -
• Timothy (9/5): - Beautiful location, house & grounds.
• Carmen (10/5): - The rooms were nice had a small issue with the first one but was taken care of immediately not even 10 minutes after the complaint, which was really nice to see how it attempted. other than that this is one of the most beautiful place after that, the staff is wonderful The peacefulness though is far from everywhere, but God knows how much I needed it just to be at peace and they spa sauna everything they provide. It’s just extra extraordinary. Had a great time will recommend especially for solo traveler who has tried to be on their own, but still feel safe to do so
• Alessandra (6/5): Escapade sympa ma stanza rumorosa - Colazione eccezionale Terribile posizione della stanza - con rumori di scarico merci ogni mattina alle 6/7. Stesso problema per la coppia di amici con cui viaggiavamo.
• Jo (7/5): Nice stay, especially if you have a dog. - Swimming pool great, wellness/spa area good (but you have to book to be able to use it), great for dogs. Limited food service, including available of snacks / ice cream in the afternoon. You could hear guests in the corridor or late at night talking through the windows.
• Laurence (10/5): Une pause detente dans un lieu magique - Tout C est un lieu magique calme Le parc est tres beau le personnel aux petits soins Tres bonne literie A 20 mn d aix et de marseille Rien a dire
• renaud (8/5): -
• Goujat (9/5): Petit coin de paradis - Le cadre est exceptionnel. La bâtisse a conservé son esprit, déjeuner à l’ombre des platanes est formidable. Rien
• denise (10/5): -
• Beat (10/5): - Schöne und ruhige Parkanlage mit schönem Pool. Personal sehr zuvorkommend und erkennt spezielle Kundenbedürfnissse ( Geburtstage, Hochzeitstage) genügend Parkmöglichkeiten Excelente Küche Speisekarte-Auswahl: 1 Menuevariante mehr währe wünschenswert.
• Aurelija (10/5): - We had a great experience! Very quiet place to relax and get away from the city life. Staff was very nice and friendly.
• ana (10/5): - Hotel excepcional! Lindo, bem decorado, bem localizado, vistas incríveis, restaurante nota mil, serviço maravilhoso! Recomendo fortemente.
• Benoit (9/5): -
• Anna (8/5): Un cadre magnifique mais terni par un accueil peu chaleureux - Le cadre est absolument fantastique : entre les salons de jardin à l’ombre des platanes, le chant des perruches, la piscine, ainsi que les chambres et salles de bain spacieuses, tout a contribué à rendre le séjour extraordinaire. Toutefois, l’expérience a été ternie par l’accueil. Le contact avec la plupart du personnel était froid, nous aurions apprécié un peu de convivialité, de sourire et d’échange. C’est dommage dans un lieu aussi exceptionnel.

• alex (9/5): -
• Nándor (10/5): Pazar kert, ízletes ételek-italok és hangulatos szoba-fürdőszoba tették felejthetetlenné az ottlétet - Három éjszakát töltöttünk a szállodában, és felejthetetlen élményben volt részünk. A pazar kert nyugodt, mediterrán hangulatot árasztott, ahol igazán jó volt pihenni. Az ételek és italok minden alkalommal kiemelkedően finomak voltak, valódi gasztronómiai élményt nyújtottak. A szoba és a fürdőszoba hangulatos, stílusos és kényelmes volt, minden részletében igényesen kialakítva. A személyzet kedves és figyelmes, a kiszolgálás minden szempontból tökéletes. Összességében egy csodás provence-i élmény, ahová szívesen visszatérnénk. Nem volt ilyen.
• Dagmara (10/5): -
• Andrés (10/5): -
• Jochem (8/5): Wij komen terug! - Vriendelijkheid Hygiëne Service Ruime kamer Omgeving en het domein zelf Ontbijt/lunch/dinner Geen laadpalen Te weinig verlichting in de badkamer(kamer 109)
• vanessa (9/5): Magnifique cadre pour l'été - Le jardin est magnifique et très bien aménagé. La décoration est sublime. Les coussins sont parfaits. Le restaurant est excellent. la piscine est très bien entretenue et au calme. Tout est propre. Le parking est abrité et gratuit. Le personnel n'est pas vraiment attentif pour un 5 étoiles, j'étais par exemple dans l'escalier avec ma valise, j'ai croisé un employé qui ne m'a meme pas proposé de l'aide. SI vous avez besoin d'un coton a minuit ou d'une charlotte pour la douche il faut demander à l'accueil, cela est très ennuyeux. L'insonorisation des chambres est quasi de zéro, vous entendez tout ce qu'il se passe dehors et dans les autres chambres. Le personnel se réunissait sous ma fenêtre pour parler fort, fumer et rire, cela était dérangeant. A 7h du matin l'alarme incendie a retenti durant de nombreuses minutes sans raison. A 10h du matin nous étions à la piscine et les jardiniers sont arrivés sans meme s'excuser avec leur voiturette tondeuse il passait a quelques centimètres des transats et nos affaires, cela a duré au moins 30 minutes à tourner en rond, avec l'odeur de l'essence, pas un bonjour, pas une excuse ni meme un sourire, j'ai trouvé cela inconcevable pour un 5 étoiles. Mais je trouve que l'hôtel a un charme incroyable et j'y retournerai certainement.
• Chantal (9/5): Bien dans l’ensemble - Petit déjeuner correct En revanche pas pratique avec les marches Pas de porte de salle de bain Les moustiques !!!
• Eric (10/5): Très bel hôtel ! - Séjour en famille pour 2 nuits avec 3 enfants. Nous avons été surclassé en Villa. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l’environnement calme, le raffinement de la décoration, le service très agréable et très discret, le confort des chambres. Nous recommandons à 200%.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Upscale countryside retreat. Very pleasant experience!
• RIHAB (10/5): - Magnifique hôtel, une parenthèse enchantée dans cette belle région. L'accueil de toute l'équipe est formidable du début à la fin. 2 petites suggestions : les transats de la piscine pas en parfait état et pas confortable. Un petit dej peu varié également c'est dommage.
• Adrianna (10/5): - Beautiful place, the area around the hotel and hotels itself were so unique. Bit pricey but you do get great experience. Quality of food was also outstanding.
• Louis (8/5): - Table extraordinaire qui incite à revenir! Cadre magnifique, personnel irréprochable Chambre vieillotte et mal insonorisée, salle de bain dépassée
• Stevenson (5/5): Shame about the smell - The staff were helpful and the outside area for eating and relaxing was lovely. Lots of seating and shade and the pool was also very nice. We enjoyed the petanque court too. Our room was a junior suite. The bathroom was large and spacious but smelt very damp and unpleasant and had no window. The shower was over the bath and the shower head hooked up at the end of the bath, which was surrounded by large tiles. This meant the water did not go far into the bath so you had to lean towards the water flow, which was dangerous as the bath was slippery. A decent shower would have been great and I am sure the bath was not sealed properly which meant the water leaked behind it and caused the damp. I did not expect this poor standard at this price.
• Pascale (10/5): Magique - Sejour plus que fantastique, tout etait parfait. Chambre fabuleuse,tres spacieuse,superbe salle de bain,excellente literie.une magnifique bastide dans un beau parc,tres calme.le lieu ideal pour se ressourcer avec piscine spa,sauna... Le restaurant merveilleux cuisine fine rafinee avec les produits du terroir.pour finr le personnel fantastique.
• Essexrosabel (10/5): Fabulous start to our holiday - Beautiful French country house hotel just 30 minutes drive from Marseille airport. From the moment you arrive you are in a comfortable luxurious environment. Lovely and peaceful with beautiful large terrace for dining and relaxing under the tall shady plane trees. As you would expect all the the food was delicious- breakfast, lunch and dinner. Bed was very comfortable and room and bathroom were spacious. Great swimming pool. Outstanding service from the restaurant and bistro staff.
• Michael (9/5): Superb - Breakfast was expensive but excellent Service a bit erratic No Showers
• Pascale (10/5): - Srjour paradisiaque. On arrive dans un parc magnifique donnant sur une superbe batisses.acceuil tres chaleureux,chambre spacieuse,magnifique. Petit dejeuner au top.
• Alice (10/5): - Excellent séjour. Cadre magnifique, personnel accueillant, très professionnel, très sympathique. Très propre
• jerome (10/5): Un hôtel de charme, dans son jus, absolument divin - L’accueil et le service très agréables. L’endroit enchanteur. Le restaurant très bon. Bref, un plaisir.
• Renaud (9/5): Superb -
• Jocelyn (10/5): - Honestly, one of the best days of my life I have two small children, and they made us feel absolutely at home
• Maurice (10/5): Very beautiful property! -
• McKinley (10/5): - This is a beautiful property and the chef is amazing! When traveling to Europe, I like to feel like I’m staying in Europe, and La Magdeleine has so much character and charm! We would definitely stay here again.
• Prue (8/5): Fell short of our expectations. - The grounds are absolutely stunning and very tranquil. Rooms are large and comfortable. Hand held shower only and hair dyer barely worked. Restaurant expensive and average for the price.
• Donald (10/5): Exceptional -
• EmmaEats2021 (2/5): NOT FIVE STAR - FAR FROM IT - Sadly this is a property that is not meeting 5 star standards, both in terms of infrastructure and service. The team tried to ‘school me’ on what to expect in a 5-star establishment when I challenged them, sadly they picked the wrong person to try to educate: I stay in average 100+ nights/year in 5 star hotels for work and also work in this industry, so I have an above average understanding of standards. And sadly, in their case, they are well below 5 star standards. Our main challenge during our stay was the air conditioning. We couldn’t get the temperature in our room below 28C/82F due to the weak and old air con unit. They tried to convince me that it wasn’t possible for aircons to cool a room below 10 degree celcius than the outside temperature (hmmm obviously not the case, a modern, functioning AC system can get the temp down to 18C/65F even if it’s 40C/100F+ outside). They wouldn’t admit that it was their 20+ year old AC system that couldn’t do the job. Then they gaslit me in making it seem like it was my fault: “you’re probably from America, you’re used to sleeping in rooms that are too cold. It’s not common in France, what we have here is normal’. Hmmm again, no (AMERICAN GUESTS BEWARE!). Regardless of what temperature I’m used to sleeping in, you cannot expect me (or anyone, especially not my 5-month old baby) to sleep comfortably in a room at 28C/82F. When I explained that we had a sleepless night because our baby (who normally sleeps through the night) was up all night, uncomfortable, there was no apology, no compassion, no offer to make amends, just defensiveness. Not a smile, no hospitality, nothing. I made the mistake of flagging that the mini fridge in the room didn’t work either, which also got a defensive response (it’s not supposed to be as cold as a regular fridge, it’s not going to keep food cold etc). Ok cool, again, not the point: the fridge was on the maximum setting and everything was room temp in there, even just bottled water. As opposed to admitting their shortcomings, the staff are defensive and argumentative (as you can probably see from their responses to the other negative reviews. I’m sure they’ll find something to accuse me of instead of admitting the issues and/or responding hospitably). Real disappointment - this was supposed to be a treat for our family as my husband just finished participating in the Paris Olympics but sadly it was a very frustrating 3 days instead. Hard pass next time. Real shame as it’s a lovely setting and property.
• Renee (7/5): Lovely French hotel - Very French. Lovely gardens. Excellent breakfast Bathrooms somewhat dated. Not even a hook for the shower head. Limited options on food outside of the fancy restaurant. Entrance and exit to hotel dangerous. Needs a mirror to see oncoming traffic.
• C9386FJrobertv (2/5): Restaurant does not live up to Michelin-star quality - We have been staying at the hotel for four nights. Overall a nice experience, but the rooms are too outdated and do not meet the criteria for a 5-star hotel. Breakfast was great at 30 euros per person. The main reason we are disappoined with our stay, is the quality of the 1 Michelin- star restaurant. A week before our dinner, I asked the restaurant to take into consideration that my wife is pregnant. One day before the dinner, I mentioned this again at the hotel reception and we were reassured that this would not be a problem as there would be plenty of options for pregnant women. To our surprise, the restaurant had no idea how to handle this situation the day of our dinner. For the first dish, my wife received the same course as I did, but without the main ingredient: the fish. All that was left was cucumber in a bit of sauce (see photo of my wife’s couse compared to mine). For the second course, she received almost the exact same dish that was served to her as the main course. The only difference being that for the second dish, the veil (cooked: well done) was replaced by mushrooms. All in all we consider this unacceptable for a restaurant with a price range of ~ 200 euros a person. We cannot image that a Michelin chef was attending the kitchen the night we dined here. Especially with Michelin star restaurants, you would expect the chef to see it as a challenge to prepare something suitable, but creativity was absolutely lacking here.
• Karen (9/5): Superb -
• Thomas (9/5): Superb -
• Aurelie (5/5): Passable -
• Joan (5/5): Ok for a short stay, service isn’t good. Good very expensive and property needs care. - The garden and pool are OK The building is tired and needs attention. The service was variable. The food is very very expensive and not wonderful! There was no attention to detail. I would not return.
• Nadezhda (10/5): Exceptional -
• Theresa (9/5): Superb -
• Arthur (9/5): Superb -
• Valeria (10/5): Very special place. Relax and sofisticated - Wonderful place
• Stephen (8/5): Very good -
• DIDIER (10/5): - Lieu de rêve !!
• Edward (8/5): Very much enjoyed the facilities here but booked restaurants in the village for reasonable prices. - The breakfast selection was very good .The outside of the premises are beautiful and the area around the pool is particularly attractive & peaceful. Bedroom was large with impressive facilities - toiletries, wardrobe size, number of hangers etc. Staff are particularly pleasant and helpful. The dining options were limited and extremely expensive .Despite an extensive wine list there were approx 3 bottles below a three figure price & the cheapest of those was around 80 euros. G&T is 20euros. We had planned to dine there 1 night out of our 4 night stay but found the menu not sufficiently to our liking to justify an outlay of around 400 euros for two . As we experienced in other hotels, it would be more enjoyable if guests were advised not to use phones around the pool area as this spoils a very peaceful experience for other guests.
• Jennifer (10/5): - Loved this beautiful property and pool and had the most wonderful meal at the restaurant! The town is very cute and easily walkable. We hope to visit again.
• Hanaa (8/5): Very good -
• Habell-aili (9/5): Superb -
• Michael (7/5): Great to spend a night - Lovely building dog friendly Not impressed with the menu at the restaurant , a bit disappointed
• Laura (8/5): Very good -
• Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pomp (10/5): - Amazing bastide converted to a shabby chic hotel. Dinner at the restaurant (1 Michelin star) was an amazing experience. If only it is easy to make another reservation without a hotel stay.
• Henriikka (10/5): Perfect place for beautiful winter holidays in sunny Provence, highly recommending this hotel! - Absolutely beautiful property! The garden, common areas and rooms were all very well maintained and it was easy to feel completely relaxed during our stay. We stayed for a week with family (4 adults) and this was a perfect location to get to know all the interesting places in Provence by car: Cassis and Calanques, St. Remy de Provence, Atelier des Lumieres in Les Baux-de-Provence, Aix en Provence, Marseille, Avignon.. Also we had a wonderful 2,5h hike really close to the hotel in the mountains. Weather was sunny all the time and not many tourists around, so I can highly recommend travelling to Provence this time of the year! And on top of this, the culinary experiences were of course wonderful starting from breakfast, to the hotels bistro and the fine-dining experience in the restaurant. Also good restaurants in the village where you can walk. Thank you for everything, we will remember this trip for a long time! -
• Dirk (9/5): Very beautiful and picturesque setting! - Beautiful location! Stunning hotel and amenities! Staff very welcoming and friendly! Rooms were beautiful too! Really an exceptional location! Quant little town Gemenos!
• Ian (8/5): Very good -
• Victoria (9/5): Superb -
• Tina (10/5): - Beautiful building and rooms. Stunning pool and grounds. Air con is not very effective but were given a fan too, which was fine.
• bourderye (10/5): A delightful property - Stayed a week with the family in this delightful property. A wonderful week from an attentive staff, a beautiful house and garden with charm, amazing breakfast and diner/lunch venue, great decoration yet not ostentatious, full of history, great location to explore the region. A great discovery - certainty à top 10 in our international (long) list of venues
• Pierre (10/5): Amazing charme, full of history and delight. - We had an amazing stay at La Magdeleine. Its charming ambiance was truly fantastic, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The comfort level was perfect, from the plush beds to the cozy seating areas. What we liked most is the property’s rich history. It struck a perfect balance, offering a glimpse into the past without overwhelming guests with ostentation. Great staff, attentive all the time. An amazing setting for diner and superbe breakfast. A great discovery - certainly a top 10 in our list of worldwide hotels (and the list is long !) Nothing !!
• Guardianreviewer (10/5): Wonderful classy property with service to match - Attentive staff, food options especially the good to have Michelin star restaurant, room was clean and classy, the view from the room overlooking the gardens, the pool, organisation of various evening time activities like a movie in the garden..we were with a kid and felt extremely welcomed and well taken care off… Nothing but perhaps the bath tub and no standing shower options but I guess this forced me to enjoy the bath as I must on a holiday!
• Martin (9/5): Wow !!! What a hidden gem - Hotel was a hidden gem Breakfast was lovely and plentiful Dinner was amazing although limited menu
• T2509DFdebbiej (8/5): Another lovely stay - We have visited this hotel numerous times - a fabulous setting, dining under the trees is wonderful but expensive and the set menu at the bistro is rather limited. Unfortunately over the years certain areas of the hotel have not been upgraded to keep pace with the improved rating of the hotel and the tariff. In particular the bathrooms. I would expect a bath/shower that works properly for these prices and hopefully this will be addressed this coming year before I visit again next year.
• Gwen (10/5): A very relaxing and comfprtable stay in a beautiful setting - The house is beautiful: I hadn't expected it to be as old as the eighteenth century, and the grounds are stunning. Away from the house itself, the staff were friendly and always happy to help with any queries. The breakfast was really good on all counts: however I think the dinner menu could be a bit more varied , and allow more choice away from the Nouvelle Cuisine.
• Tobias (5/5): Poor service in a hotel with a lot of charm - The facility is very nice, there were ice cubes and refrigerators at the pool bar which we used (just ourselves). Bed was very comfortable. Quality of breakfast. Every morning a small dessert and fruit salad is served. Unfortunately, we spent our honeymoon in this hotel. In advance, it may be necessary to mention: We are very friendly guests and usually have very nice vacations as we are very friendly, open-minded people who get along well with everyone. The hotel is visually very beautiful and I mean also listed, it has an incredible amount of charm. Which has advantages and disadvantages. We think in France the service is generally rather poor. But in this hotel it is virtually non-existent. We don't know if it was because we are German or english-speaking, but every day we had the impression that we were not noticed, but all the other French guests were. We were rarely asked in the morning if we wanted eggs. The waitress simply did not listen to us when we ordered something. So she brought wrong things every day (wrong Coffee, wrong eggs etc.) At check in, NO word was spoken to us after an 8 hour journey. We were silently given a key and then had to carry our luggage to the third floor without an elevator. It was just the whole staff standing around and gossiping. When they are not chatting they are busy pretending to be working on something. This was extremely noticeable to us. The employees had a kind of meeting place in the courtyard of the hotel and there often loudly gossiped and laughed until 02:00 at night. However, since the windows in the building are very old, you can hear every word. The breakfast is rather average for a 4 star hotel. Very sweet and rather little hearty. Quality is ok for france. Unfortunately little choice. To our misfortune, the WiFi/WLAN of the hotel is down for 3 days and so we could not even watch Netflix or surf the Internet while it was raining. There was no reason or information on demand what is done that it runs again. It was simply the statement: No, the Wi-Fi does not work. Sorry. That was it. The employees in the hotel are so unprofessional that I have never experienced.
• Veronique (10/5): - Dîner délicieux et raffiné. Quant aux chambres un peu vieillot
