About this property
Housed in a 17th century castle with well-kept gardens, this guest house is located in the Verdon Regional Park, 300m walk from the center of the village of Valensole (where 4 restaurants are at your disposal). Breakfasts, carefully prepared by the hostess (included in the price of the rooms) are served from 8am to 10am in the reception room on the ground floor. The rooms, decorated with period furniture, are spread between the 2nd and 3rd floors with a comfortable staircase (No elevator as a warning for people with reduced mobility). Also no television, this in order to escape the pressures of the modern world, thus allowing you to better soak up the poetry of this place full of history. You don't come here just to sleep but also to dream. Each room is individually decorated and offers a view of the garden. Some also have a terrace or a fireplace. The private bathroom has a shower, sink, toilet and hairdryer. You have a free and secure private parking space on site (access code). Finally, the unmissable Verdon Gorges (the largest canyon in Europe) are located 29km away (picturesque village of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie). Couples particularly appreciate the location. Most of them give it a score of 9.0/10.0 for a stay for two.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.
