B&B in Pays d'Apt-Luberon

"We stayed three nights over Easter at Capelongue, just one day after opening for the season—and unfortunately, it showed throughout. Check-in was poorly managed. We arrived at 12:30 with a pre-confirmed early check-in, yet no one could tell us when the room would be ready. We were sent to lunch (which was good), but even at 15:10 the room was still not available. When we pointed out that Expedia listed check-in from 15:00, we were told it was actually 16:00. We were eventually given the room shortly after, but the process felt disorganised. We booked a Deluxe Terrace but were given what seemed to be one of the smallest in that category, in the older part of the hotel. No seating area as shown in photos, visible dust, and a terrace next to the parking with a loud AC unit running constantly. It’s hard not to wonder whether booking via Expedia influenced the room allocation. Service lacked consistency: pool towels not cleared or set up properly, pool water not very clean, and empty glasses left around. Basic standards were missing. On the positive side, the food was good and restaurant service attentive, and the property is visually appealing. Overall, however, the experience fell short. Would return, but not at the start of the season."

"We did. It use the pool because we are between seasons . The room was very nice. Clean and comfy. The best was the wonderful welcome from Julie and Olivier ! They are so nice and great hosts "

"This sweet apartment on a farm near Apt was qperfectly located to visit all the villages of the Luberon. It was very well appointed and clean. Beds were very comfortable. And Chzntal had even started a fire for our arrival. This charming house was a great value."

"We had a great stay. Nice and comfortable room, quiet hotel, places in the hotel to relax outside the room, excellent breakfast, caring host. We were there off season so we did not get to enjoy the grounds, which looked fantastic. "

"We were fortunate enough to stay in one of the tents. Well equipped and comfortable with very agreeable surroundings. Great cycling nearby. The bathroom was good, heating was welcome at this time of year, and I’m sure the air conditioning would be welcome during the sunnier months. Parking was adequate and the place was quiet, and a great place to have a little getaway. The region is beautiful. Certainly at this time of year it was excellent value and great fun. All the staff were friendly and super helpful. The pool was great, even in October. "

"We were looking for a hilltop Luberon village in which to celebrate a special birthday and we were not disappointed with Pierre's Gite in St Martin de Castillon. The Gite is situated in the heart of St Martin, within easy 2 minute walking distance from a carpark. The Gite is over 3-4 levels with each area revealing an eclectic range of furnishing, sculptures and art works in what is obviously a well loved and respected family home. All of the rooms were excellent with well appointed bedrooms, bathrooms and lounge, but the rooftop terrace provided an amazing place to sit, drink, eat and simply gaze out over the beautiful valley vista. There is a well stocked local store with everything you would need, and there are major supermarkets in Apt, a 20 minute drive away. The local bar serves great beer and wines and has pizzas available a few nights a week. It's a great place to sit drink and fraternise with the locals.The town itself is fascinating to walk through but it also offers access to the vast number of other local hilltop villages. You would be hard pressed to visit them all! The only down side was that the instructions given to us by BookaBatch were out of date and did not tell us how to access the Gite. However, a quick phone call to Pierre had everything sorted very quickly. This problem was not Pierre's fault, but it might pay to check the date stamp on the access instructions!"

"Room was beautiful with a lovely terrace. "

"Wonderful weather in a very lovely part of France. The hosts were very friendly and extremely helpful - they drove 20 miles to collect us when we got lost and couldn’t find the property. The property was advertised as a cottage so I thought that we had booked a house but it turned out to be an apartment. I don't think that we would have booked if we had known that. Despite this, we had a lovely time at the property "

"Fine"
