Les Jardins de l'Ermitage

The place is nice and quiet. It is not an hotel and could be describe as a cottage or guesthouse. There is no housekeeping during the stay. Most the amenities ( pools, restaurants) described are part of the "hotel de l'ermitage" which is accessible from "les jardins de l'ermitage" if you can walk down a stair and unpaved path down a hill about 100 yards which my 87 year old father couldn't do. The outdoor pool was still closed even if we stay beginning of Mai. The indoor pool part of the SPA and is accessible for a fee of $25 for 24hours. The cotages and rooms were large, nice, well maintain. We did not see any staff during the entire stay (4 nights). The outdoor around the place has a pound and is very relaxing.

Interesting property. Remote and quiet. The bed was a bit hard and the pillows limited and worn, but the outdoors was unique. Restful and quiet. We never saw anyone. Not lux, but rustic.

The proximity to the Verdon Gorge

I booked this hotel for one night, and paid 40% more than others in the area, specifically because it had a pool. It does not! There is a pool in the adjacent hotel which costs 20 Euros a day, and only opens from 10am until 6pm. This detail isn't anywhere to be found on the listing either, so when I arrived at 6.30pm looking forward to a swim, I couldn't even if I've been prepared to pay the extra! You're best off going elsewhere and swimming in the lake, which is much more scenic anyway. Can't fault the location, but that wasn't the point!

Excellent room, excellent breakfast, wonderful country atmosphere. Not far from the Verdon gorge. I am delighted
