Garrigae Abbaye de Sainte Croix

Appalling value for money in this badly managed hotel. The room was cheaply fitted out and dilapidated - cardboard cups in a hotel of this supposed quality. The external areas were amazingly unkempt, with no attempt to brush areas or tidy up. The planters on the dining terrace were full of dead flowers. The area adjacent to reception was filled with old trolleys full of dirty linen and an ancient coat rail - at the foot of the main staircase. The dining room window frames are totally rotted and are falling apart. To totally spoil my visit, my evening meal was dreadful - 2 small pieces of lamb edged with uncooked fat. As a final insult we were charged for 2 coffees that we didn't have. Our final bill of 401€ ( each of us only had 1 course at dinner ) was an outrage for this shabby second rate establishment. This stunning location deserves significantly better.

A bit outdated but beautiful. Greatly located if you wish to visit the Provence. Could be much cleaner. Fantastic pool. You can enjoy a really provencal ambience and a wonderful view. It is worthwhile to pay. Good breakfast. extra for Saint Jerome suite.

Amazing setting and views in a lovely old abbey. One of the most beautiful places we've stayed. The room was very clean and spacious, and the staff are incredibly helpful. Everything points to 5 stars however, we did experience a couple of set backs. Firstly, we arrived very early (10am) and expected we would be unable to check in. However, when we spoke to reception we were told we could not get a drink, food or use the pool area because the whole establishment had been privately booked for a wedding. So, we'd been up since 3am only to arrive and not be able to do anything at the premises. This left us completely stuck. It would have been nice for the hotel to email us to advise us of this before our arrival, especially as they don't provide a check in time on the confirmation if you book direct with them. If they had done this we could have stopped at the nearest town on our way from the airport and grabbed lunch. However instead, we felt forced out, having to pay 25 euros each way for a taxi with the hotels recommended service and, pay out for quite an expensive lunch as options were limited on a Sunday. The only 'positive' about this was the staff member who called the taxi for us and arranged the restaurant booking in town but, nonetheless it wasn't a very good start. Dinner that same evening was lovely though, despite only having three options on the menu for the starter, main and dessert. We realised at this point we'd have to have the same dinner on our last night, as we were staying for four. However, this became worse when we sat down for lunch the next day, and realised the dinner and lunch menus were the same... so that was 3 starters, 3 mains and 3 desserts to see us through for 4 nights for lunch and dinner... I was starting to realise how my cat feels. Also, we paid to have our dinners included with the room, which included a glass of champagne each evening. However, we had to ask for our champagne on the first night as it didn't come, as per the second night too. We double checked with reception that our booking definitely included this and they confirmed it did, so they spoke to the restaurant staff. About half an hour later the champagne comes with a comment from the waitress 'we didn't forget your champagne'.... .But, champagne is an apertif on their drinks menu, and on both occasions it came after dessert. Breakfast on the other hand was very yummy with plenty of options to suit all preferences. So nice in fact we did have to resort to smuggling some breakfast goods to our room to store in the mini fridge for lunch, to save us not only from having the same as last nights dinner but, to also try to avoid the extortionate price of 40 euros per person for a 2 course lunch. It was a little bit staggering to us that they don't even have a small selection of pre made baguettes and snacks you can add to your room bill. They said they didn't have enough staff to expand the menu but some bread and fillings aren'

We really enjoyed our stay here! The views are incredible. The property ambience is charming and peaceful. The property is well maintained and the staff is 5* attentive. The restaurant food was pricey and I've had much better while traveling throughout France. We enjoyed the pool and quiet time.

L'abbaye avait été privatisée pendant 2 jours pour le mariage de notre fille et ce séjour à été sublime: endroit magnifique avec une vue a couper le souffle, repas et brunch délicieux, petit dejeuner au top avec même une machine à pâte à tartiner! Et surtout, le personnel aux petits soins pour tous les invités...Nous n'avons malheureusement pas pu profiter du coin piscine mais il y a tellement de beaux endroits dans cet hotel que ce week-end restera inoubliable...

Chambre avec petite terrasse très agréable, grande piscine avec un très bel espace alentour, spa non testé mais prometteur… Le grand atout de cet établissement c’est la magnifique terrasse avec une vue à 180 degrés sur la Provence… Bons vins, service pro, la carte s’est étoffée depuis notre dernier passage il y a deux ans (entrée pastèque décevante, dommage qu’il n’y avait plus d’agneau ce jour la, mais le plat au veau est bon). Incontournable à Salon de Provence !

Très belle endroit, vue exceptionnelle. Accueil souriant , sympathique et chaleureux. Une belle chambre spacieuse pour un couple avec enfant et un tres bon et beau petit déjeuner avec des produits frais et de qualité. Petit point de détail: quelques petits amuses bouches aurait été apprécié quand on prend un verre de vin pour l’apéritif sur la superbe terrasse et un sous verre . Comme cela l’a été quand on a pris digestifs.

Très bel hôtel, vue absolument magnifique, la nature alentour également. Suite très agréable, même si la décoration est un peu spartiate, literie et salle de bain confortables. Restaurant de qualité. Très bon petit-déjeuner, accueil agréable. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour.

Une vue d'exception sur une terrasse ombragée, des plats dignes d'une œuvre d'art à la hauteur d'un excellent chef. Malgré quelques petits bémols sur les 2 entrées proposées qui nous convenaient pas à notre gout car poisson ou viande crue, le chef nous a proposé et concocté une autre assiette délicieuse. Les plats suivant ont été aussi gouteux au palet, qu'a contempler avant de s'en délecter. Les desserts ont finaliser le plaisir des yeux et des saveurs multiples. Et quel agréable surprise de voir sur la note que le chef nous a offert l'assiette de fromage commandée en supplément. Une fierté de reconnaitre le savoir vivre d'un tel établissement.
