Hôtel Carcarille Restaurant le C

We have been going to the Carcarille for almost 30 years. It is a wonderful family run hotel that has been beautifully renovated in recent years. Brothers Dominique and Christophe are a great team who make you feel at home. The food is fantastic, giving guests the ability to experience gourmet French food in a beautiful setting. An added bonus is that the hotel is perfectly located to explore the Luberon region.

Such a charming family-owned restaurant and hotel! I went with a hiking group and Domenic was such a gracious host. He helped us arrange a tour and tasting at a local olive farm where we learned all about growing and processing olives in Provence. He entertained us with a wine tasting at the hotel, and helped arrange transportation when needed. The food was amazing! I’m a vegetarian and the chef really made an effort to make delicious and unique meals for vegetarians every night - which was not my experience at all the hotels we stayed at. The desserts were decadent! I would highly recommend this hotel for a real Provence experience!

Located a short drive from Gordes, Hôtel Carcarille provides a great base to visit Gordes and to explore the surrounding area. The hotel is on scenic grounds with a lovely swimming pool. The room was on the small side but comfortable. (We skipped on breakfast.) Gordes is a uniquely beautiful village but accommodations in Gordes and immediately near it are limited an expensive. Hôtel Carcarille is a great alternative and, if we return to Gordes, we will return here, too.

This is a fantastic place to stay and eat in Provence and one we have visited often as it offers such good value. We always have room 26 as it offers a comfortable area with a lovely view of Gordes. The food is fantastic and the chef is very creative and his tomato tarte a favourite . The staff are welcoming and friendly yet discreet. There is a real family friendly feel here and they all appear during your stay constructing in some way or another to the efficient running of the place. They offer indoor and outdoor dining and always a special treat, given we come from Scotland, to eat outdoors on their lovely terraced area. The restaurant is nearly always full often with large tables of locals which is testamount to the appeal of the food. The swimming pool area is relaxing and private and the courtyard area offers a guiet relaxing space to enjoy a pre dinner glass of fizz. I would recommend anyone considering a visit to this area, books to stay and dine here. Great walks from door to door to the surrounding towns and villages and spectacular gorges.
