“Lovely 4-star hotel perched at 940m and surrounded by stunning scenery. Thirty bright, airy rooms and suites with stupendous views. Beautiful spa with first-class facilities. The restaurant serves excellent Provençal cuisine. Perfect for couples or families in search of a quiet hideaway.”

Hotel review

If far from the madding crowd is where you want to be, then this is just the place. The hotel, located in one of the most beautiful parts of France, is designed to make the most of the glorious mountain scenery around it. After a day of hiking the Verdon gorge, indulge in a blissful massage or soak in a hot-tub at the well-appointed spa before sitting down to a delicious meal of local specialties created from fresh produce, much of it straight from the hotel garden. Comfortable rooms decorated in crisp modern style ensure restful nights and total relaxation.

The best of Provence

Arriving at the spectacular-setting of the Hotel des Gorges du Verdon is a relief after a series of nerve-jangling hairpin bends on the D952. All is sparkling, modern, eco-friendly and full of the greens, gingers and lavender tones of the Gorges region. It's a short walk to the start of the route des Crêtes (for serious walkers), but it's just as good to watch them leave from the terrace and stay for a dip in the hotel pool.
