Restaurant Le Vieux Castillon

This property is stunningly beautiful. We stayed in two rooms, one was perfect, the other room did have some mildew odors. The food is exquisite, the staff are friendly and professional. I even witnessed one woman working the desk keep her calm and professional demeanor with a pair of very upset German lawyers (they had made a mistake when booking, and were trying to blame the hotel). Our only other complaint was that the pool was experiencing a leak during our stay and was not usable. These things happen.|Also note: there are very few other places to eat in this village.

We stayed for four nights in a Terrace Suite. The hotel main entrance is 50m up a very narrow street which looks difficult for motorists but in fact is usable. Check in was marred by the receptionist advising us that we would have to change rooms on our last night because of an overbooking problem. We told her firmly that was not going to happen and didn’t hear about it again. Our room was glorious; soft colors, large and comfortable, with a beautiful bathroom, all well appointed and with the usual amenities. During our stay the daytime temperature was around 30C, but the air conditioning was more than sufficient.The terrace was also well sized with a table and chairs for two, two sun beds and an umbrella for shade. The pool area looked inviting but we preferred our solitude. One idiosyncrasy; housekeeping is in the afternoons, which means that twice after a morning touring and then lunch we came back to find the room not yet serviced. ||Breakfast was a high quality buffet with lots of choice and local products, but nothing cooked to order. Perhaps a little expensive at €27.||In summary it is a high class hotel in a beautiful village well located for Nimes and Avignon. We would highly recommend.

The property is nice as are the rooms, as befits the price of some EUR 450 a night, but this is spoiled completely by the breakfast experience. On entering we saw 3 young women nattering to each other behind a counter. One came forward anxious for our room number to add to her list. We weren’t shown to a table but found our own, though on inspection this turned out to be quite dirty with crumbs aplenty from the previous user. One of the young women came across to inform us of the direction for the buffet. This is 100% buffet. They don’t even offer to make you tea or coffee here and you are left to try and find your way around a very un-user ready drinks machine. No hot water available for my tea (machine not working properly) and the teabags were unrecognisable as anything approaching English breakfast tea. Returning to the grubby table with a bit of baguette and cheese I found a bill for signature - for an eye watering EUR 54!!!!! For a buffet breakfast on a grubby table with staff totally uninterested in the guests other than giving them a bill! Dreadful experience. Not recommended at all.

Beautiful hotel for a very relaxing break.|Room was very nice and comfortable.|Breakfast was good with a nice selection.|Staff very friendly and helpful.|We ate in the hotel restaurant one evening and we were disappointed. Food was good but portions were so small. Wine was very good. We left the restaurant still hungry and we do not have large appetites 😕|Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Incredibly quaint, Beautifully decorated hotel with fabulous attention to detail. The rooms were very well air conditioned as it was exceptionally hot when we were there. Staff are excellent and the food was delicious. We will be back

The hotel is beautiful. So cleverly built. Pool is gorgeous. Breakfast is good- range of cheese, cereals etc. We didn’t eat dinner in the Main restaurant but Joio was very good- separately reviewed. Our room was a suite, ok- steep spiral staircase to the bedroom so not suitable for all. Comfortable bed. |Staff were polite but unhelpful and seemed inexperienced.

The hotel is a beautiful conversion of old hamlet buildings. The dining/breakfast area and pool area are both tranquil with a good balance of sun and shade. The quality of the food and drinks is excellent although breakfast could be improved by offering a small selection of ‘cooked to order’ dishes rather than only buffet selection, as well as espresso-based coffee without an additional charge. Very good quality bedrooms and bathrooms. The hamlet restaurants are booked up quickly but very worth going to, and be sure to book dinner in advance if staying on a Wednesday evening when many are closed meaning there are fewer dinner options in the area. Would stay again without hesitation.

Stunning! This hotel is so beautiful and the staff were fantastic. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to stay again. I highly recommend dining at their new restaurant which is just around the corner from the hotel.|The only slight negative comment I have to make is that the drinks at the pool were at least 2-3x what you would pay anywhere else - luckily the view made them worth it.
