Chambre d'hôtes Bastide des Enqueses

A meticulously appointed property inside and out. The limited number of guests creates the feeling that you’re at your own country retreat. Philippe knows all of the beautiful places in the area, but you won’t want to leave the pool and gardens.

We stayed here for four nights in early April. We happened to be the only guests, though I'm sure the entire experience would have been as positive had others been staying. The property is an off the beaten track, lovely Provencal building though there's plenty to do within half an hour's drive plus the coast and the Verdon Gorge are easily accessible. A car is essential. Lovely rooms, tastefully decorated, and with period furniture and interesting art. Excellent modern bathrooms. Philippe and Beatrice make excellent hosts, advising on restaurants for dinner, places to visit in the area. Delicious breakfast provided by Philippe - mornings were chilly when we stayed so we ate mainly indoors, though once in the sunshine in the garden. There's a great looking pool but sadly too cold to consider when we visited. In terms of price, it's fairly top end to stay here, though we felt it was worth it. We'd like to return one day! Definitely recommended.
