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.

The hotel and grounds are beautiful and our room was wonderful with a small terrace. The pool area had plenty of chairs and we tried the small warm indoor pool & jacuzzi which was very relaxing. My partner had the breakfast which he rated very highly and we had dinner which was stunning. However, downside was the fact there was no-one to be seen at all apart from the cleaner. Nobody came down to see if we wanted drinks, or check if everything was ok. As for peace and quiet, this was ruined by a family of 4 adults and one child using the pool and grounds as a running track, bombing each other in the pool, kicking a football close to my sun lounger, playing badminton and shouting and cheering. Our one day of relaxing which this stay was for, was completely ruined. No-one from the hotel came out to speak to them. On complaining, it turned out they were not even guests. Seemed funny that they knew exactly where everything was and came fully equipped with towels etc. so must have done the same before. We were told that our room was upgraded as a consolation, which was funny, as we booked a superior double and that’s what we were given. No consolation. On sitting on the terrace later, a fire alarm went off somewhere in the garden. Again no staff to be seen. It wasn’t until a guest appeared, holding a child who headed for the reception to find someone, did the receptionist follow her to sort the problem out. This is a serious safety issue. We spent a lot of money on 2 nights for the facilities and guarantee of peace and relaxation, which we didn’t get, completely ruined by free loaders being uallowed in, who, I am sure will tell all their friends to do the same. Management take heed. Very disappointed.

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…..

This place is truly a hidden gem. The room are updated and clean with nice amenities. The spa service was superb, particular Corin. The owner of the resort was very gracious and warm. She made us feel very at ease and looked after. The inhouse restaurant Casa Gia serves great food, matching the gorgeous valley view. The hotel is well located. We drove all around lavender fields, sun flower fields and wineries. We would love to come back. Highly recommended!

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.

We stayed here for 1 night and had a good stay. We really enjoyed using their indoor pool and jacuzzi spa. Their open lawns and views from the hotel are lovely. Rooms are decent. Overall we had a good stay. I don’t think they have 24 hour service , because when we returned to the hotel from dinner we had to punch in a code to enter the hotel.

located on the height of Forcalquier, this hotel is in the geographically heat of Provence, very convenient to visit from there all the POI os the region. the hotel offers parking slots, a vast territory with swimming pool, bar, restaurant (very tasty with italien chef), and a very friendly staff. You can even have the chance to be welcomed by the owner )) Room are modern, spacious, well equipped (board+iron) and very pleasant. I will stay there again !
