La Bastide Saint Georges & Spa

The hotel atmosphere is pleasant. The setting is large and beautiful. The room and bathroom spacious, with a good shower and no water spilling on the floors as it happens in most hotels. The lighting in the room is good and there is a flat screen TV and air conditioned. However, the Wi-Fi was not operative and a message on my Tablet indicated that there was no Wi-Fi connection for lack of payment. It was restored after a whole day without it. The reception service was good, the room clean, nicely decorated and the bed comfortable. The breakfast was also good and items replenished as needed. There is a Spa requiring extra payment. We did not use it. There is also a large restaurant in the premises, nicely decorated and serving tasty dishes and with good service. Be warned that it is pricey! Except for the absence of the Wi-Fi and the air conditioned which was not yet operative in the beginning of May, although the temperature was reaching 25 degrees Celsius, it was a wonderful place, but I would be hesitant to recommend it if you do not have a car, since it is not located in town. To go to town, a taxi is necessary, which good a disadvantage to many, in view that it is a town with 5000 people only and not many cabs. Moreover, they only offer two bottles of water in the room on your first day there. They do not replenish when cleaning the room, otherwise one has to use the ones in the mini fridge offered at inflated prices.

This hotel is set in beautiful well kept garden surroundings. The owners are on site ensuring the highest attention is paid to their guests and all the staff follow this ethos. Dining in the restaurant with its' open view of the surrounding county side adds a magical charm to the evenings.

This is our fifth stay at this delightful hotel and with each visit we love and appreciate the welcoming staff, the beautiful surroundings and the excellent rooms and breakfast, even more. The beautifuly maintained gardens overlooking the surrounding countryside add to the overall experience of calm and tranquility. Looking forward to the sixth visit…..

We unfortunately only got to spend one night at La Bastide Saint Georges but wish it could have been longer. The hotel is just amazing. Wonderful location and spectacular grounds. Walking distance to Forcalquier which is a really pretty town. We stayed in Amandine which was essentially like a mini villa on the end of a terrace as part of a Voyage Prive deal. It looks brand new so I think these rooms are a recent edition. A small terrace with table and chairs, small area of grass and two deck chairs. The room as air con, large double bed, TV, Wi-Fi, tea/coffee facilities, fridge and a huge wet room shower area. Really nice. Great pool area and large area of grounds with various sun beds etc. The restaurant area is amazing and we had our welcome cocktail on the terrace with lovely views over the surrounding countryside. Breakfast (also in the restaurant area) is superb. Loads of choice at the buffet from sweet to savoury and runs until 1030. Staff were lovely and really helpful. There was some confusion about the pool (heated) it seems it opens at 0900 technically but can potentially be opened earlier by prior request (which it was during our stay). My partner had a 30 minute massage which was very good apparently. If I was being exceptionally pedantic my only gripe was at checkout when we noticed the price of the massage was €60 and not €55 as previously advised prior to our stay. It appears the employee sent us the tariff for last season via email so an innocent mistake. The monetary difference was immaterial but out of principle it would have been a nice gesture for the hotel to acknowledge the error on their part and honour the lower price. We will definitely return, one night is simply not long enough to do it justice.

We stayed at this hotel for three nights. Absolutely enjoyed it! Our room was spacious, clean and well maintained. There is a garden patio as well. The property has a pool and sauna. And lots of outdoor seating areas to relax and enjoy the perfect weather. There is a restaurant and bar on the property. Great food and cocktails! Wifi connection was strong and stable. Service was outstanding. Staff were pleasant and helpful. We felt welcome and at home. The hotel is located within driving distance to town and surrounding attractions. We came to see the lavender and sunflower fields. Lots to see and do. We highly recommend this hotel.
