Le Phébus & Spa – Relais & Châteaux

We stayed in a Garrigue room on the upper floor, it was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. The pool was fantastic, and Le Café de la Fontaine was gorgeous, with outstanding food. The location is excellent, perfectly situated close to Gordes and Roussillon. Housekeeping service twice daily was a lovely touch, with delicious sweets left in the evening.

We had hoped to dine at Le Café de la Fontaine again but hadn’t booked ahead and were advised that it was fully booked and that we should order room service instead and encountered a €14 room service charge, a charge we hadn’t encountered at any other hotels, a minor drawback. Overall it was a wonderful stay and we would highly recommend it.

The rooms and facilities were great.

The pool did not have staff that came around and offered drinks or food. You had to go find someone to help you.

situated in a very beautiful part of the Provence. The landscape and the views from the pool are fabulous. very quite and relaxing. It is a 10 minute drive to the breathtaking village Gordes. The hotel has a michelin restaurant (one star) and a bistrot restaurant (outside on a nice terrace), so dining and lunch does not require any travel. The breakfast is lovely, the pool is very nice and the hotel is fully equiped. The Staff is very professional and extremely attentive and helpful. They are definitely one of this hotel's forté's.

There was an unpleasant drainage smell, both in our room as well as in the breakfast lobby, which was situated underneath our room. We dined in the michelin restaurant, which was good but very classic and a bit too old-fashioned to our taste. It was all a bit stiff with an ambiente very common in the 80's or 90's. We know some people prefer it still that way but we like it more experimental and contemporary. The Bistrot, on the other hand, we liked a lot. Of course the food was more simple but very good and so its service, more relaxed and personal. At last I like the mention the pricing, which is rather ambitious but then this whole region is not known for its cheap pricing so I guess its in line with its offering.

The property is very spacious and well-located near the village and starting points for hikes

The aircon wasn’t working properly: it was set to 18C but at best probably achieved 25C and was only intermittently working and when it was it was extremely loud. The room had neither blockout nor see-through curtains which meant if we didn’t want to be exposed to the guests near the pool/restaurants we were in a fairly dark room but also light enough in the morning to be woken up by the sun (too early..) The smell of lavender in the room was discomfortingly strong Silicone joints in the bathroom need re-doing- they were dirty Limited opening hours at the gym: opens at 9.30 which means when you train in the late morning you are completely exposed to the sun
