As another person said- an upgrade here was not an upgrade. I specifically booked months ago a provencale style room as per the website photos, which apparently they no longer had (given away) so had upgraded us to what I can only describe as a chalet style prison cell, see photos . I work in interiors and if this is a renovated room- they need to change designers asap, for over £1000 a night it was really not good. I travel a lot and this is a £300 a night room. Anyway, onwards and upwards I thought so made our way to the pool in hope the kids (6&9) could spend a couple of days splashing around and we spend little time in the room. No, there is about 10sqm max of outdoor flat space in the entire hotel . The pool can barely fit a catepillar around the edge and despite being sold as child friendly this place is definitely not. Us and another Parisian family sheltered at the back shhhhhh- ing our children whilst they played our phones as there is just not enough space here for anyone other than adults or babies. Other than paddle around a bit there is no room for kids in the pool, one of mine jumped in and got a sunbather wet so I felt on edge having to keep them contained and quiet at the side on a screen . She was very polite but it’s not how you want to feel on holiday. This should be made a lot clearer the limitations for kids over 1. It’s setting is divine looks wise, it far out from the good Provence villages of gordes, loumarin etc but as a couple for a couple of days (if you can get the non soulless room type) I am sure it would be nice if you like doing very little . We had come from hotel coquilllade which I would highly recommend checking out if you have children or want space/villages. We were pretty frustrated with the room change so after some two and fro ing the manager did agree to refund us the second night because we wanted to leave early . This was eventually appreciated and the correct thing of them to do given they could not provide us with the room type we booked . Moral of the story is don’t advertise what you cannot provide. You don’t buy a car and get delivered a different car so if you book a room that room should be available.

If you're looking for the ideal stay that will fulfill all your Provencal dreams then this is your place. We had a wonderful stay at Crillon Le Brave in May and only wish our stay was longer. The hotel that's a village makes this a unique stay and leads to the overall charm. You are met with the most beautiful exterior as you walk into reception and the cobblestone walkways let you wander from pool to your room, to the spa, to the restaurant all while taking in the breathtaking views of Mt Ventoux, vineyards and surrounding olive groves. We had a beautiful room, a great dinner, and I enjoyed a relaxing spa day where I had a fantastic massage. But the best part of the hotel are the people who work there and specifically Charlotte. She went so above and beyond it truly touched our hearts.

It’s a very nice hotel, very charming and old world. I stayed there on 2 occasions while in Provence. Our second stay we had room #1. It was ok. But it was in the front of the hotel and pretty loud at night (bells on the hour or more frequently and guests returning from their evenings), and the hot water was poor. The restaurant was pretty good. But I wouldn’t want to stay here again unless I had a better room in the back.

Amazing stay. Staffs are friendly and helpful from check in to the reception to the restaurant. The rooms are lovely with newly furnished bathrooms. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Highly recommend for a stay in Provence. 5/5 star service and property.

5 star Charming hideaway I visited July 2022 but forgotten to post this overdue review. It was an anniversary trip for us and our stay was perfect- location, service, amenities. It’s not a big property but it was very charming and serene. We had a suite which offered a lovely view and Le Labo bath amenities and really enjoyed the breakfast spread each morning. Best if you have a car but I think this is the case for most hotels in the area.

We have just returned from our vacation in Europe, which included three-nights at Hostellerie de Crillon le Brave in France. It was in every way all that we expected - the facilities are wonderful, the people are friendly and helpful, and the food was out of this world! Thanks again.

The Hostellerie Crillon de Brave is a wonderful place in Provence, a little out of the usual tourist fare, and exquisite. Upon arrival we were given an upgrade to almost an apartment with views over lavender fields. The restaurant was exquisite, food fabulous and service very friendly and accommodating...

Hostellerie de Crillon le Brave is a beautiful and relatively central place from which to explore northwestern Provence. The Hostellerie itself is well-restored with modern amenities, yet quiet, secluded and full of medieval, old-world charm. Our stay was enchanting.
