I cannot speak to the quality of the rooms, as we did not stay for the night - but the restaurant is magnificent! We hadn't booked a table, but were still swiftly and comfortably seated. The prices were very fair, but the quality of the food was what really shone! Taste, presentation, amount - all perfect! My wife and I picked completely different options yet we were equally enthusiastic about every single course. The waitress was also very friendly and helpful, assisting us in English as needed. A true marvel of the Provence! EDIT: My wife forgot her purse and the waitress actually RAN after us to return it! I only wish I had tipped her better...
