Guest reviews for Le Couvent
"Breakfast, garden space and overall facilities very nice."
"A bit inconvenient to have to wait until 5 to check in."
"Kinda funky, eclectic. Great breakfast. Kind host."
"Disappointed with immediate surroundings. Probably missed the nicer part of the town."
"Lovely location in the midst of the Luberon. We are on a cycling trip and have used Apt as our base of loop rides. Big rooms. Simple but well appointed and comfortable"
"Could not check in until 5 pm the first day. After a long day on the bikes it would have been better to be able to check in by 3pm But once you’re in, you’re in."
"Very convenient location and in a beautiful, historic building which was once a convent. Friendly staff and nice continental breakfast (payable extra, at €12 pp) Pretty garden and a couple of nice sun terraces. Our studio apartment was on the second floor and was just right for our needs, with a couple of gas hobs and a microwave and fridge, plus a small rooftop terrace. There's also a cosy sitting room available for simply reading and relaxing if required."
"Was difficult to make contact in order to book breakfast and the host was slow to respond, or on one occasion did not respond. The cleaner only replaces towels and toilet rolls when they attend the room and this is infrequent, but perfectly acceptable. However, on one occasion, no tea towels were provided so I had to look for them in a small laundry room which happened to be unlocked. But none of this was a major problem and we really enjoyed our stay - this is merely offered as constructive feedback."
"Very roomy and comfortable superior room on the third floor. Very friendly hosts. Nice bathroom. Adequate breakfast."
"The place is full of old audio systems, but not all work properly. Hosts English is only limited"
"This was a nicely restored convent which has retained the authentic character of the original building as it was when the nuns lived there . It was so much nicer than staying in a generic hotel . The room was huge and had a lovely breakfast in the morning . The only negative was the coffee . It was awful."
"Just the coffee. Had tea instead"
"Nicely appointed and spacious room which was cleaned each day. Very good breakfast offered in the dining room. Very pleasant place to stay overall. Good value for the price."
"Aucun."
"Very comfortable, beautiful building and pool, there was lots to eat for breakfast and the members of staff were very friendly and helpful."
"N/a"
"The beautiful architecture, the pool, the smell of lavender, very quiet"
"Breakfast little light, lots of stairs."
"Large, comfortable room (superior). Easy parking in the square next to the property. Lovely little swimming pool to cool off in and a terrace for relaxing at the end of the day. Breakfast was delicious."
"Although very conveniently placed for seeing the Luberon Valley, Apt itself isn’t the nicest town to wander around."

Laetitia Cottages des Pins

Louis Maison d'Hôte de Myon
"Very friendly staff and easy check in. Big comfortable studio with all the basic essentials, clean and comfortable. Located directly nest to Barcelonnette's pedestrian area with all the cafes and restaurants. While is doesn't provide a buffet breakfast, the bar/cafe downstairs does provide some basic options (croassaints, coffee, tea). The hotel has an indoor secure bicycle storage area."
Martin Appart Hotel de la Paix
"Location, and confirmed parking for our tandem bicycle."
"The hotel is perfectly located and was ideal for our needs. It’s in a charming location near great restaurants, shopping, and transportation. We’d stay there again."
"We had a superb holiday here. We booked a superior chalet and were not disappointed. The site was super clean, under the trees (so less hot) and friendly. The pools were spotless and although it was August, we always got a subbed. The staff were so great- the owner even played pool volleyball with our children. You can walk to the beach in 20mins, but we drove the 6mins as easier with 3 children in the heat. We loved that the campsite was quiet and chilled out- other campsites looked v hectic."

Lammens La Bastide des Raisins
"The apartment itself was very nice, big enough to fit 4 persons, also the location is perfect. Well equipped with everything you need in case you want to prepare something to eat. The communication with the host was OK, every time I wrote them they answered pretty quickly. Definitely recommend !"
