A truly charming and authentic experience staying at Les Carmes. Pascal, our host, was amazing and we loved the informal aperitif drinks at 7pm each evening offering the opportunity to chat with other guests and glean recommendations for trips and immerse ourselves in French culture. Pascal made several dinner recommendations and reservations for our group of 8. Each restaurant was splendid and we enjoyed them all. Our room was palatial and wonderfully presented. Our every need was anticipated and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Le Carmes to a discerning traveller. A wonderfully relaxing and quiet location. The swimming pool and outside gardens were gorgeous. The children in our group along with us adults loved it all. It is ideally located too for accessing the Luberon valley and Provence.
