Hotel Du Castellet - Var

This hotel is billed as five star but it is desperately lacking. Apart from a good orientation by Nathan and help from Alex the concierge, staff were either disinterested or rude. The hotel lacked atmosphere despite being full. It was 40 degrees and yet there was no proactive drinks service at the pool. Breakfast was poor with staff having to be asks two or three times for coffee and tea and basics like plain yogurt. When asked if they had any, we were told there would not be any for three days! The rooms were spacious but old fashioned with doorknobs missing. Dinner in the Dan Felice was slow and we were charged for other people’s drinks. The fish was over- cooked and inedible. They have much work to do!

An absolutely incredible establishment with the most amazing staff and hotel breakfast imaginable. Rooms and the property is absolute luxury and quiet, a perfect getaway for a few nights trip. We will definitely be back.

Booked 4 nights of Junior Suite in this place as we need to be near F1 circuit. Read great reviews. Checked in by a lovely lady. Though room was not ready, we went for a swim then had lunch at their bar while waiting. Bar serves enough food all day long. Food is nice too! |Room unfortunately was of funny shape, old and tired. Lots of ants coming from outside the yard, Bathroom floors, doors (stains) and tiles do need renovating. Room is hot even when we turn it down to 18 degrees. Is just a 23 degree permanent setting. I believe is their old air conditioning system hence there's nothing they can do. We didn't have restful nights here as we woke up in sweat. Staff are very nice and friendly, spa area is nice but filled with too many people too often which is not easy to use once it has more than 6 people there. |Outdoor Swimming pool should be larger I mean the length is quite short considering the amount of space they've. Indoor pool is cold and small, 4 strokes you're at the other side. Gym is ok, not a lot of equipments but at least 2 treadmill which are modern. Breakfast is nice however their fruits selection is very poor. |Overall this place needs to tidy up and upgrade its room and air conditioning now that it has become unbearably hot in June.

Ideal for the motorsport at Circuit Paul Ricard, everyone at Hotel et Spa Castellet that we encountered delivered service with a smile, nothing appeared too much trouble to them.

Fabulous location, excellent service from a friendly, professional team who go above and beyond to ensure your stay is a fantastic experience. Rooms are beautiful. All in all a very special experience.

Our stay (2 adults and 3 kids) was fantastic, thanks to the amazing front-of-hotel staff. Michael, in particular, was outstanding—efficient, friendly, and always ready to help. He made our stay memorable by handling our car and luggage with utmost care. If I owned a hotel, I would hire people like Michael immediately and ensure they are well-compensated for their exceptional service. Their dedication and warmth truly set this hotel apart. Highly recommend staying here! Best regards from Poland!

WOW - a truly amazing stay, couldn’t have asked for anything more. Cannot recommend enough. Will be back

Spent a night at the hotel whilst in the area on business and what a wonderful experience it was. Certainly a paradise to escape to for a few days R&R.||Probably the little things that make the biggest difference, the imposing entrance through the gates and welcome from the staff, the welcome card and mini blender in your minibar with fresh berries etc. was a particularly welcome touch.||The recently 3 starred restaurant is closed Monday and Tuesday, but the Sans Felice restaurant was excellent and the service good despite being very busy, including a very large family party. Had it been slow, there is always the amazing view across the valley towards the coast and village of Castellet to admire. Breakfast was equally enjoyable.||Personally, I would have liked a desk to be able to work from in the room, however as it was June, the weather perfect (for a Brit!), the room terrace was a great place to work from as you can see.||Recommend having a car if more than one night.
